RIP: Temensis

[Hwarang_Samurai]

After a 100% water change on my tank to clean the gravel and glass my biggest Temensis died I checked the water and it was ok but I think it was the stress of moving him cause he was alright today after the move he started to float and died an hour later
He was around 4"(first pic) when I got him and I had him for 4 months and he is 9"(last pic)
RIP TEMENSIS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE PBASS!!!

Im pretty sure it was but this was not first one i should have just kept it at 50 but my gravel was super dirty and i dont have a vac

Oh damn, he looked sweet!

do yourself a favour, buy a vac for next time. Sorry to hear about the loss but 100% water changes on a tank with "dirty" gravel is never a good idea, it would have been better to do smaller water changes over the course of a few days.

even if you dont have a vac just get a net or something and just move the gravel around, if you have good filters they will do the work for you

ouch

 

[FunWow!]

Damn 100% water change...WHY???? Thats what probably did it. Sorry for your loss but take it as a lesson for future fish you keep.

 

[Hwarang_Samurai]

Ya I will take this as a lesson.... buying a vac asap
