Sob. One Of Our Fish Just Died

[puppyduck]

Our albino cory Panic! just died.

Although we kind of expected it, because he was smaller than the others, its still v.sad.
He was really panicky when he first when in the tank and wouldn't settle. Ammonia levels were high and he's been away from the other corys for days.


Was really upsetting though cos our bronze cory Jack Dempsey was swimming around the rock where Panic! died and sort of nuzzling it. When we took the lid off to get Panic! out he came over and watched and when we took the body out he tried to jump out.

Obviously fish do have feelings and emotional attachment. It was his friend after all.

sorry to hear about your loss you mentioned your ammonia was high may be a good idea to clean your tank more often

Second hand tank. We did a 50% water change, and added some ammonia neutraliser chemical stuff. We clean our tank everyday, and feed our fish and generally spend most of our time with them. I guess poor Panic! just couldn't cope with it.

Sorry for your loss, did you cycle the tank before adding the cories?

It was very upsetting losing poor litle Panic

We did think we were doing everything right, guess not. Though he was always small and never quite right since we got him. Current details of our situation here:
