This is enough!

This is it, I have had it with my fish. For the second time, another new fish has died. I found this one stuck to my filter intake. Checked water perimeters, everything is good. I guess I can't handle five fish. I am just going to stay at four fish.

Watcha got in there?

 

[steelchromis]

As of now
A pair of perc clowns
A pair of firefish
1 cleaner shrimp
1 pep-o-mint shrimp
15 lbs. of LR.
I added him a week ago. No one else was picking on him and he was eating fine.

 

[karajay]

Sounds like a nice set-up. What did you add? Sorry they died

 

[steelchromis]

I added a Bangaii Cardinalfish. and thank you for your condolences.

 

[karajay]

Just wondering...did you Q the new fish first? Did they both come from the same place? Those cards are nice fish. Bummer.

 

[steelchromis]

No qt. tank. Yes, I bought them both from the same place, very respectable store, and the other fish went carpet surfing.

 

[steelchromis]

BTW, the other fish was a sixline wrasse.

 

[moopiespoo]

Maybe just a bad shipment from your lfs.

 

[steelchromis]

I hope so...............I hope so.

something else that I noticed about bangii cards is that to much flow will tire them out to a point of stressing them. thats what happened to mine. and maybe a cause of yours. but for absolute answer not usre but sorry you lost them. I would ask Bang if there is anything else could bother them in that way he has a lot of them.

That could be it, I do have a Maxi-Jet Powerhead with 243 gph. Thing is he didn't show any signs of stress.

This was the one that recently learned to eat frozen Mysis? How thin was it?

 

[steelchromis]

Yes it is, but I think that I could have overstocked my tank, so I will stay at four fish from now on.

 

[jonthefb]

4 fish in a 29 isnt bad.....but i think that something else may have been the problem....were your clowns agressive to the card at all?
good luck

[steelchromis]

No, they weren't. BTW before the card bit the dust, I had 5 fish in the tank.
