I've had some strange things happen in my 180 recently, all in the last two months.
Instance 1 : Red Empress 6" drops dead. He did have two spells of not eating over the past 6-8 months.. thought he just finally big it.
Instance 2 : Livinstoni started hanging in the corner, white haze all over his head.. it happend almost overnight.... removed him to 20g hostpital
Intance 3: My price Ruby Red peacock almost 6".. dropped dead. That morning he was find, swimming about, eating readily... no signs of disease at all.
Instance 4: My 8" splilonotus Mara Rocks just came down with the same thing the Livingstoni did.. about 6 weeks apart. The Livinstoni is 7".
I had suspected possible disease... also, I have to run an airstone in the tank to keep it properly oxyginated these days.. this doesn't seem right to me.
I've also suspected agression.. I have big preditors in the tank. I have a 9" venustus, a 8" bucco, a 7" champ... and a 6" Kwinge I also have a 7.5" Borleyi Kandango, a 7" P. Ornatus, a 7" Spilonotus Tanzania, and some peacocks... a Ngara, Sunrise, OB, Otter Point, Eureka and Tanz Jake.. the Tanz Jake is VERY mean, but tends to focus his attention on the Eureka.
I removed a 7" mylochromis because he was an obvious agressor.
I also have a 6" front, and believe it or not, several 2" Yellow Labs and a 2.5" calvus that are doing just fine...
If it was a disease, I would expect it more widespread... so.. who is my meanie.. wh's killing my fish?
As much as I LOVE The bucco, maybe I should sell him, or the venustus to save my other fish? The Bucco would fetch me a LOT of money.. he's full color with lots of egg spots already!
