death

I had a 10in oscar which was originally in a 30gal grow out for my 400gal pond. Today it took enough attacks from my jag in the pond and died. My dad blames me for putting the oscar out the 30gal while I obviously, just tried to do the best for it. I've already told my dad to add structures to...

Hi folks. I realize I can't get an exact diagnosis but my P. senegalus died the other day with no warning and I thought maybe you could help me brainstorm some possible causes I could research further. I've had her for around 6 or 7 years, maybe more, and she's been in a 75g tank with four...

I lost two bichirs last night, both of which have been in a long established aquarium since July of this year. The other 3 bichirs in the tank are doing fine so far. I found them dead about 20 min ago. Last night I did their normal ~70% water change, and fed the same food I always feed them...

So, I've had this red oscar for a few months. Since around the beginning of December. This dude was a beast of a fish. He was a juvenile. He has lived through an ich infestation, lived in a tank while it was being cycled, and has outlived two other juvenile tiger Oscars. He's never shown any...

He guys so about a month and a half ago I set up a 55 gallon tank for a good friend of mine. I had a high budget so I decided I was going to make it a super nice tank. His only suggestion was that he wanted sand. Everything else was up to me. So I got some stone hinge and a nice Fluval FX4...

I just started a 75 gallon at my new house and put de chlorinator in it, declouder ( because I thought the sand was kicked up), and the api stuff so you don’t have to wait 6 weeks for the cycle. Put my fish in last night checked it this morning they are all dead... what did I do wrong, when can...

Hi all, I'm new to this fish keeping lark. We got a tank and added 6 endlers guppies a few days after getting it, as suggested by the pet shop. The fish died within 20 hours. The water tests showed raised nitrate only. We left it for a week before checking the levels again and adding another 6...

Hey guys, so long story short in my 2 month old peacock tank Im loosing nearly a fish every other day, water parameters are good.

Its been at LEAST 8 years since I took in this monster. He/she is an albino oscar. Tough as nails and hardy! 8 YEARS! 12.5" now and on *her* last legs of this journey known as life. Lost an eye and battled to be the master of her domain against any fish that dare to enter her space...

I returned from my lfs with an Angelfish a couple days ago. The fish looked fine, it had good colors, and it was pretty active. A couple hours after acclimated the fish, I noticed it had a cloudy eye. At this point I should have moved it to my QT tank, but it wasn't running. Instead of doing...
