RIP crimson

[Rtc/tsn]

My RTC crimson died today I noticed his color has been dull he’s been light grey instead of black and just came in my room to find crimson sitting at the bottom on his side I don’t know how he died but the only thing I can think of is yesterday he ate 3x more than normal so maybe he tore his stomach or ruptured an organ

Sorry for your loss

Crimson was such a gentle shy fish I’m so sad I lost him I’ve had him since January at 1.5” to almost 6 inches at death

My sympathies too. Thank you for posting. Many shy away from such posts while they can be some of the most informative, even though it is not always easy to troubleshoot successfully.

It is hard to imagine the posited causes of death. Perhaps unless the feed was bony or spiny, then an internal organ could have been damaged. But this is way, way out of the left field. Simply put, catfish pretty much never die from a large meal. In all likeliness, it must have been something else.
