A sad day

[Catpicklesdog]

Unfortunately my daddy Bangaii Cardinal hasn't been well ever since holding the last batch of eggs. It's like he had a dislocated jaw, his mouth was always open and he was unable to eat properly. There was no other sign of illness such as an injury etc, and this morning I found him entangled with a powerhead.

Given that Titch is nearly a year old and nowhere near the size of his parents, I have a feeling that "daddy" was quite well on in years - I've had him 4.

He's a few photos of "daddy" in his prime!!!

That sucks, Alison.

Sorry to hear it, he was a beautiful fish.

Him and his Mrs are my oldest fish along with my LMB. Mrs Bangaii is just staying in one corner of the tank so I'llbe keeping a close eye on her. I don't know if fish can die from a broken heart!!!

oh that sucks... sorry to hear it, Pickles... I love those cards, always thought they were so pretty... way better than the pj's in my opinion...

Aw, that's too bad. :tombstone: I bet you're right about old age, however. I wonder if banggais are a "pair for life" species? It could be that she's missing her mate.

At least you still have Titch.

I hated losing my Bangaiis...sorry to hear about it.
