Anybody ever keep these f in fish alive this my fifth one all bought fat all eating everything . Then one day they stop eating and week later dead i treated this one for internals and he poops brown hell he was eating great at 10 pm last night got home today hes just chillen on one side of tank not swimming much but not laying on ground. And has no interest in food saw this 4 times before never ends good . Am i missing something. All other fish r great all parameters r in check and fish safe i have sensitive fish that r doing great what am I freaking missing with these bastards no matter what this my last one i might as well toos my money in toliet will save me the heart break

Nah hes king of castle nobody ever messes with him
 
Sounds like cyanide poisoning. You can make fun of me for buying fish from Petco, but I've not lost a single fish from there (5 total).
 
I have one for 6 months with a Yellow and Sailfin. I did add him last but turned lights off for a day after feeding the YT and SF.. The YT and SF are tough but all get along now. Did you have a lot of hiding places. Mine hid for a good month and only came out to eat. They are really cool fish. Especially when all the yellow markings come out.

I wont buy from petco and i know u order yours and i dont order fish and put em in the mail. Its probably poisoning but cant prove it either so that gets me no where . Most my fish come from two lfs ap and uw and i dont loose many fish i bought finicky fish from there it definitely seems to be just the dam nasos im having issues with
 
How high is your alk joe I've read a few places they don't like high alk. Don't know how true but any lead is worth reading about.

Alks fine 8.4
 
I bought two fish from Petco and both died. Big battle with the store in Lake Zurich. They wouldn't honor the policy.. Said it didn't apply for saltwater fish. Sign did not say anything about only freshwater. Anyhow, probably cyanide..
 
Agree with Kevin, Cyanide.. Petco gets a lot of there fish from the Philippines.. Heard they use cyanide a lot there... Bought two fish from Petco.. Never again! Learned the hard way...
 
Where did you guys read about high ALK may be issues? I have mine at around 12-13. High side but now concerned.
