fatpuffer Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 One of the yellow lab i got from FishmanTy died! They were alone in a 20 gallon tank...i just found him stuck in the filter! This sucks...it was the bigger one too. tested the water...tested fine with 0 for amm and nitrI and low level NitrA...what could caused the death...the other one is fine and active...skittish though!

dunl Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Could have swam too close to the filter, and got sucked to the intake shaft..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 size of fish? size of filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 no it was just stuck outside the intake tube...the fish was fairly small...just under an inch or so...filter is a aquaclear 150ish...not exactly sure...didn't think it would have been too strong...used it before with guppy fries much smaller than that... js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Bummer ...... might have just been weak/stressed from the trip, and didn't make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishManTy Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 He was super healthy here... Sh*t. It had to have been the filter... the only thing he had here was my mini and that thing barely works anymore, so the suction would have been soooo small.

Vallisneria Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 A healthy fish shound get stuck to a filter. They should be able to swim harder then the current. It could just be he didn't take the transport well. Something with the temps maybe??? Who knows. Sorry, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 i dont think it was the filter either since they were both in one side of the tank away from the filter. He seems to have acclimatized well after I got him from D. It was fine when I went to bed...so i dont really know...hopefully this little one survives...so far so good...eating well and active. Thanks. js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunl Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 When I brought them out of the cooler, I noticed that one of them seemed to be stuck in a wrinkle of the bag where it was secured with the elastic. However, it then seemed to be swimming around strongly with no problems....not sure, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 No apology needed D. I don't think it is anything from it getting stuck...maybe just the stress...who knows...the other one is doing great! I just want to thank you again for bringing it over. Really appreciate it. How's your fish that you bought? js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
