L260 Queen Arabesque Found Dead Today

[sophos9]

Hi,

Sad day today, got home and my queen arabesque was dead. Looked her over and there is no signs of anything wrong at all, she has been fine.... Only thing I noticed was last night she did a stringy white poo.

Water parameters are fine, all other fish (BN plecs, Ottos, Clown Loaches and neon/glowlight tetras) are totally fine, active with good coloration

I added some Flourish Excel just under 1 week ago, do you think this could have been oxygen related?

So sorry to hear that. How long had you had her?

Hi, since late January...



She was a beaut

What a lovely plec. Such a shame.

So sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss.

Thanks...

I think it may have had something to do with Flourish Excel and my CO2 levels

Heres the latest few posts in my journal

I just lost my QA last week, I know exactly how you feel, they are such awesome looking fish.

Sorry to hear that, gutted mate!

The prob might be that flourish excel is carbon based for use as a substitute for co2, so adding both at the same time could create a carbon overload
