lost my last discus

[joniwaller]

My poor discus died about 5 mins ago,i last looked at it about 10mins ago and it looked like it was ok but i think it was lonely as its partner died last week.i am gonna get my water tested before i put anything else in the tank but my tilapi and oscars seem fine,in all this time i havnt had many fish die on me so why does it have to be the most expensive ones? £70.00 for the pair!!!!!!!

On a happy note i get to set up my 4' tank tomorrow WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!



HAPPY CHRISTMAS
FOLKS

That's $180, right? You couldn't find them for cheaper?

Sorry to hear about this. What did the first one die from?

Congrats on the new tank.

that really sucks thats what scared me away from discus aside from the price they are real fragile it seems

Sorry to hear of your loss.

hi,
yeah it was suppsoed to be a breeding pair,the first one died of cloudy eyes but i think the other died of a broken heart as there were no signs of disease
