I'm Irrubesco-less

Post by messy_da_legend »

Well my second and last irrubesco bit the dust today, and again, for no apparrent reason. Eating and everything, water couldn't be better, but I found on her side, no visual deffects apart form being dead! The only thing I can assume, is that they both died from lack of O2. Both died early morning, and I have a cover glass on the tank with lots of plants so I think that the plant must have used up all the O2 over night.... :(

Big shame.

Sorry, messy. :( I lost both of my baby F8s, too, for no apparent reason.

Tis a shame. I'll have to look into getting a true pair at some point or even salivators instead of 2 females
