:sad: so I just look in my tank today to feed the fishies and I notice that one of my 3 cherry barbs is dead at the bottem. the are probably about 4 or 5 years old, I haven't had them that long but the person I got them from said they were a few years old and that was 2 years ago. anyway, he looked healthy before he died(yesterday) but I took him out of the tank and he's all bloated and his scales don't look good at all! :huh:
does anybody know what could have caused this?
sorry I don't have the water parimeters, but I do a 20% water change every 2 weeks, it has a moderately light fish load, and has live plants.
I thought about taking a picture of the fish but it was too late, he already went down the drain :sick:
