I checked the water params last night and everything was fine. 0,0,< 20. My wife now blames the death on suicide as I haven't done any redecorating in probably a year and "sharkie" couldn't stand it any more.
This particular CAE hasn't been in the tank since I've had the Flying Fox. The CAE's been in there about a year. It was the last addition to the tank. There didn't seem to be any trama on the fish, he just looked very faded in color.
I'll move on. Probably forget about him once my Mbune Cichlid tank starts to show some fish holding. It's been running about 4 months now.
