Some how my leichardti got sick. The tail fin and anal fin have turn very dark toward the edges. It was swimming earlier but ignores my presence, I can touch it while it is swimming around. Now it sits on the bottom, breathing hard. My tank is well aerated and well filtered and the water parameters are fine. I don't know what went wrong. Any ideas??
 
Well...it didn't make it. The funny thing is I had a dream the other night that it died. And it just happens to occur on April fool's day too. When I first got it back in February, it was only 4 to 5 inches long. I'm bummed out right now because I don't know what went wrong. Well, I guess it's going to be a while before I can get another one.

It has barbels, just that leichardti barbels point down and when they are out of the water the barbels tend to stick onto the lower jaws. This fish was in perfect condition.
 
oh dude, that sucks
 
I'm sorry for your loss! That's a nice Lei!
