Something really bad happened in my tank last night. I woke up this morning and three of my largest natts had bit the dust. I raised these guys since they were the size of a dime and have spawned them many times....
RIP

Super super lame!!!

Sorry to hear of your loss, how's your other fish? Did you move them to a different tank? Would you happen to know what caused this, possibly a water change last night before going to sleep?

dam that sucks
hows the other ones doing

 

[rong666]

a sad sad day

 

[rong666]

yes, a big water change last night. much larger than i normally do. I left the python going while I wqas out of the room and took off way more water than I should have. I have a sneaking suspision it was ph shock that did them in. I know better than to make a dumb mistake like this, as I work in an lfs and my major in college is fisheries

Are those chlorine burns on their sides? I hope your other 2 didn't suffer from this!

The one and only time I pulled too much water out during a water change, I didn't add but aprox. half of what I took out, back into the tank. The water level's low that way, but I'm too damn paranoid to add too much at once.

My condolences go out to you...

no they are not. as I said, I know better than not to de-chlorinate my water.
and the large water change was accidental.

That's a terrible loss. Especially after raising them from babies to great looking adults

I feel for you.

Sorry for your loss man those fish look awesome. I would've thought P's were strong enough to live through almost anything.

 

[NegativeCamber]

WOW those are beautiful.. so sorry about your lose..

 

[rong666]

thank you everyone for the kind words. I was very proud of these fish and the size they were. I think I am now going to sell off the last remaining two and move on to discus.
