Picasso Trigger Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 OK well a while ago my convict cichlid kicked the bucket (not unusual I have had a couple go carpet surfing and one that borrowed its way under an ornament and starved to death) but the symptoms of this ones death were strange it scared me first I notice that it had fin rot on its anal fin then I notice it has the beginnings of ick then I notice two open sores on its body one directly above the other I don't know what that was. then I realise that hes bleeding from the gills so I was pissed I took him out and put him into a hospital tank the opperculum ended up going into the fishes skull on both sides now normally thiss enough would make me consider euthanising the fish but my dad said no so it went into convulsions and died what could have caused this and why didn't it effect my oscar or pleco as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBrain Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Not sure what caused it but are you sure it isn't affecting the oscar? It may just be starting to affect it. Or it was just taking a beating from the oscar and Pleco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Seems like maybe the Oscar was hanging a licking on it. were these things happening suddenly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
