Hi Everyone,

It makes me sad to share with you that my PK Shimmer died today :( I bought him thinking he was a girl and he was the fishy i was most attached to.apart from Ramjet.

I am actually upset with this :( He was one of my first fighters. Ramjet is out living all of them and he has had the worst luck! Im not sure why Shimmer died. He was full colour and full flare when i found him on the bottom of the tank not moving. There were no signs or anything :(

RIP Shimmer aka Mr.PK

This is Ramjet....my number one boy now. Still alive and kicking. Survived all sorts of stuff like death, Ich and more. My solo boy now.

Shimmer looks like it was a girl looking at the pics.
Because you only had 1 male 1 female the male will have probably beat her to death (i'm not saying he deffinitly did) because, the same happened to me i had a male fighter and then got a female fighter but u could quite literally watch him beating her and do nothing about it. In the end she died but showed no signs of being beaten but we knew she had. Sorry for your loss they both look like very nice fighters. :sad:

I don't think Shimmer was in a tank with a male fighter, so wouldn't have died from being beaten.

How did he survive death? :huh:
 
Sorry for your loss. Shimmer looks just like my Sunrise-who died misteriously 2 weeks ago... I also bought Sunrise as a girl and (s)he turned out to be male!

Shimmer was DEFINANTLY a boy. Netty and i had identical fish (where is Netty these days??). he was in a 3ft tank and the only fighter in there. He loived peacfully with a GBR and some clown loaches. No fighting. We had a massive heat wave here in Victoria/Australia which wouldnt of helped. He was nearlly three yrs old :(

Lacuma: he had a sudden onset of Ich that was so bad i found his dieing down the bottom his tank :( I was lucky enough that the meds my fish people gave me worked really well and that he started to eat again. He also got beat up real bad when the VT from the seperated tank jumped into his side...thus i found his nearlly dead again. You will see what i mean..
Ramjet with no tail..
