Absolute Tragedy: Lost all four of my Parotocinclus sp 'Peru'

I feel so sorry for you, I love tiny catfish, and those ones were really attractive. Here's to you getting more.
 
Those were cool little fish.I'm sorry you lost them.
Where did you get them? Why do you say you may never see them again?

They are extremely rare. Googling I'm only seeing people in Singapore and Japan that have these fish.

I originally got them from a club auction, someone imported them. I'm hoping I'll be able to get some more from that person.

The Oto was and is fine...never had any issues. I've since added some CRS to the tank, and they're all fine.
 
I lost 7 really nice medium size Blood Parrots to a water Change in 24 hours all at once when all the other fish in the tank diden't bat an eye, and only after months of research and trial and error did I discover the cause and now keeping them again successfully, its a local water issue so the details aren't important here, what is important is that we can learn from these errors and avoid them or at least minimize their impact in the future.
