Loaches Online Forum

I had two unfortunate deaths in my 125 gal aquarium. One of my 8yr old clowns apperntly got stuck in a cave with a spotted rapheal catfish. It appears like they were trying to occupy the same space and the rapheal locked his pecs in place preventing either of them from escaping. I figure they had been in the cave for at least 24hours. I am experiencing elevated nitrates. No ammonia or nitrite showing on tests. I am performing several large w/c throughout today. Rip fishes.....

That is real sad. The things these fish do for realestate sheesh.. Sorry for the loss.

thats bad news. after 8yrs it must be more like losing a dog that a fish. sorry to hear that. i hope you get your water back on track soon.

Yes I feel terrible.....bummer.

My condolences.
