This sucks

Come home from a weeks fishing to find my favourite fish my big clown dead. He was my first clown and got me addicted, all other fish in the tank including 3 smaller loaches were fine. Other than getting slightly over fed maybe the tank was fine. Only noticeable marks were cloudy eyes. All params were fine. Beleive the marks on his tail were from my endli, once he had died.

Sorry for your loss. Same thing happened to me after returning from a fishing trip a couple summers ago. I came home to find 3 dead clown loaches (1 was 8inch). The other clowns were losing slimecoat and my 2foot tig and ST were looking terrible too. My friends wanted to stay another night to fish another day & I decided it was time to go home. If I listed to them, my whole tank would of been bellyup im sure. Can be such a snowball effect once 1 gd size fish is rotting the water. Just got lazy & fed too much without doing a big WC before I left for the trip. Not a gd feeling but after it sunk in, I was actually very thankful I still had fish left. Never fun losing big clown loaches!

Hit the nail on the head there. Never fun mate. Takes to long to find nice sized loaches where I'm from.
