As some of you may know, I have lost 2 female hystrix pups in the last week or so. The male that I recieved with the first female was doing fine for oer a week and eating like a pig. Both females died within 48 hours of arrival to me.
As you will see in the pics, the male is seen heathlty and eating, the next pics are from 10 minutes ago and he has completely changed color and is getting what I believe is death curl.
It hurts me to see him die, the last female died just like him. breathing one minute, dead the next. All 3 are from aquascape, spoke with another board member who lost 2 of 4. I am sadden by this and discouraged from eve buying online. I have kept 2 retics that were purchased from a LFS with no problems. I though retics were the hardest to kep but they seem to be the happest in my tank.
I feel very horrible, I am in deep deep regret. just hope that I am wrong and he is just changing color and going through some stress or something. But the other 2 females died the same way so why should I expect anything less.
