Title: Dead fish
Post by: Shane on August 08, 2006, 08:57:20 AM
hey guys

i have a 2ft tank at my girlfriends house at Beerwah and now have 5 small hecqui in it. Last night one died and was left lying on the bottom. when taken out the fish had a hole between the two pectoral fins and the mouth was apparently damaged. The hecqui are the only fish in the tank. i thought that maybe they are starting to pair off and the dominant fish is harassing the rival males. Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

its definately the work of highly trained, black belt, ninja cockroaches!!!

the fish could have died from many reasons and the other fish in the tank took advantage of a free feed overnight.

but then again it could be what you said.

good luck anyways
