I had a Royal Pleco but he sadly past away 17 days after i got him, and it was quite sudden, just wondering if anyone might have any clue as to why he died, id like to kno so tht if i try another one i dont kill him too being that they arent exactly tht cheap Thanks
Sorry to hear you lost such an expensive and gorgeous fish! Maybe he/she wasn't getting enough to eat? Did you notice if it's belly was fat, or if it was skinny? I had a hard time keeping plecos alive. I believe mine died because they didn't get enough to eat.
i didnt notice tht i just came home from school and it was dead, i read somewhere that they needed driftwood and i dont have any of that in my tank as of right now so maybe tht had something to do with it, but the fish looked healthy up until it died
ahh, yes..Driftwood! They get loads of nutrients from that! (in fact that's probally why my pleco is doing so well now!) when you do get driftwood..don't forget to boil it (unless you like brown water, which in some cases, ppl do like.).
haha i had a convict but it was blind when i got it and died very promptly, i seem to have bad luck with fish, luckly it wasnt tht expensive. and please dont tell me change the gravel
It died?! There must've been something wrong with it internally because Convicts are very forgiving when it comes down to water conditions, and are very hardy fish. They could literally, live in in the sewers..but that can't be good for their health.
Ohh, I don't think keeping fish is a geek thing..it's cool There are lots of women that keep fish (well, I know quite a few that do!) but not many my age. I supose I guess I don't have anything better to do!
