My girlfriend pointed out my King Tiger was dead last night. I ran over and he was on his back not breathing. I reached into the tank and brushed a little water on him and he started moving. Sat in the corner and didn't move. I noticed he was skinny but I've seen him eat. Came back a few hours later I figured he was gonna die. He's swimming around like his normal self.. I'm sitting here like "wut?" well he was still swimming around this morning like his normal self. Any idea what thats about? Hes never done that. Its a 75G, 90% w/c weekly or bi-weekly. South American cichlids and other plecos are whats in the tank. He's scrapped with the green phantom but after the black and white vacuum cleaner(girlfriends nickname for the vampire pleco) came out and put him in his place they dont bother each other anymore.
 
Thank you. It really does suck. Not clue what happened. I wish there was a way to know.
