[/QUOTE] funny, that's what other members told me, i don't even know what you call that, tumor or hump?[/QUOTE]

I know, the remark wasn't pointing towards you..... It's neither ...just a fat storage . Some of the long time captive adult tigs and juruenses have it and is a sign of overfeeding (If you search the catfish forum you'll see what I'm talking about). Other then that, it's as healthy as a very fat fish can be lol.
Sorry for the loss again and I'm sticking with the theory that the fish injured himself during moving (big cats don't ship/move very well).
 
he didn't get injure during moving, it's my friend 360 gallon that's the problem, 4 weeks ago he bought a 16" tig for 100, it died too.
he never clean his sump, im guessing there are lots and lots of ammonia, nitrate and crap build.

that's messed up man...I can't understand people that are not testing their water levels/ keep up with maintenance regularly ....if you are that lazy, why bother with this hobby at all ?

Yes, that's a costly lost, if all he had to test teh water an make sure water parameter were correct before adding the fish, even if he had to prime the tank to death to help the ammonia. It's been my expericence that ammonia will take out a fish at the blink of an eye, especially when coming from a much healthier situation.
