Rip Quatro

[star4]

Very sad star today, I lost one of my texans last night, very sudden. I suspect it was a heart attack or something as he started shaking violently.
RIP my beautiful boy.

Sorry to hear that hun. Its always horrible when you lose a big fish, especially cichlids i find.

James its tough, its the second one now I am totally wiped out by it at the moment. Just praying the rest are going to be ok.

i know what its like star. its just like the time my prized 8 inch rotkeil just suddenly dropped to the bottom of the tank and died .

If thats the second one Lesley i hope Rainbow is going to be ok Perhaps a dose of Myaxin (spelling?) could be a good idea just to calm things down?

I have had a virus problem in the tank since Duce came back and Rainbow arrived, its only affecting the texas, just one of those things.

If thats the second one Lesley i hope Rainbow is going to be ok Perhaps a dose of Myaxin (spelling?) could be a good idea just to calm things down?

I hope they are all going to be ok, I have dosed the tank with everything I can think of, its a virus no medications can touch it. I have even bought another filter with a uv light hoping that will help.

Maybe a 100% water change including the water in the filters? Thats if its in the water column.

Not saying you have bad water,

 

[star4]

Done that too. I think I have tried everything bar a complete strip out of everything.

 

[rdp50734]

Maybe thats the way to go then? Strip and scrub! (the tank) Hopefully whatever it is you can clear it with no more losses! Fingers crossed!
