sorry man but what happened? And if you don't mind can you tell us about its growth rate and diet. I am keeping 3 yellows and 1 red as of now. My yellows have dwarfed my red and he became a possible food item. So I had to move the red out. My yellows went from 2 1/2'' to 6+'' in 6 months, but the red only grew about a inch. The biggest problem I have had keeping cuda has been jumpers. I bought 5 yellows and a red 6-7 months ago and 2 yellows found a way out in the middle of the night, and jumped to death. So if you have any tips or insight on keeping cuda first hand, that would be great.
Not sure exactly what caused it but he had a curved spine, had to euthanize. Ate freeze dried krill occasional live food, As far as growth hard to tell had a growth spurt when he was young then just saw him too often to notice how fast..
i read an article long ago on water snake about feeding cuda's prepared foods and muscular and skeletle diseases. I did not pay much attention to it until now. I know in humans that a lack of certain nutrients in food can cause malformations. And that could have maybe been the case hear. sorry for your loss.
Not sure if this is off topic or anything but "are they jumpers?," I was afraid of getting a few because they might jump. My tank has an open top.
