RIP Channel Cat :(

[Diskboy12]

I came home tonight to see the eaten corse of my channel cat. Grew from 4" to 5" in my care..stopped eating then became a scavengers entree when he died while he was gone...really going to miss him, he was one of my first big cats.

Noooooo!! Going to miss seeing the little guy in your posts Any idea what caused his hunger strike?

Oh no man. Bad news on for both of us. I just got home and my big one measured at 28.5" in my avatar had jumped out for some unknown reason....bad night for both of us

Not sure, was told they go on strike sometimes, I noticed hi getting a more and more domed tummy, I even tried a bunch of new foods, i.e. shrimp, bloodworms. Took to nothing. I think he starved to death, I checked the parameters when I took him out and everything checked out as ok, don't ask me to say what they were because I don't remeber, but everything was fine...just some other fat monstr cats sitting pretty looking at his body.

Ah, man Andy that sucks big time. Crappy night for Channel cats..

Ya Im pretty down about it. I've had him for over 2yrs. He lived through a lot, broken tanks, broken filters with ammonia readings at like 50ppm maybe higher I will miss him sucks for u to man. Just sometimes cats just won't eat. :/

I will get another in time, I have a shipment of 8 Sun cats coming in this next week so that will keep me occupied. Really a shame about yours though, he was a beast.

Sorry guys about your channel cat losses.

I wonder what makes them jump out and what makes them anorexic

Sorry to hear about your loses guys I feel for you and it might just be a bad month for cats all together I lost my big limashovelnose about a week ago to old age is my guss cause water params are fine and my lil Lima just died tonight the only reason I see him dieing is beacause of the loss of his freind he stoped eating as well. So sorry to run on about my loss and again I am sorry for yours.
