RIP my Pyramid Butterfly

[ZANYMASTER]

Was eating just fine yesterday and could not find it at all this morning,Me thinks it's dead,too big to miss and did not jump out.Bummed about it.

 

[lazibonez]

Nelson, I am so sorry man.. how could that of happened?

 

[ZANYMASTER]

I'm scratching my head on that one.It was fine all this time til now.A slight PH swing but not to kill a fish.Weird.

 

[mcnuggget]

even if u provide perfect conditions for it, who knows what collection/transportation drama it was subjected to. almost impossible to know. thats y i would invest too much $ in fishes anymore.

 

[vashawn]

Sorry to hear that nelson

 

[nanchil]

That sucks... Sorry

 

[ZANYMASTER]

As much as I like to see coral only,it's nice to see fish swimming around in it.

 

[fernandokng]

Maybe it's still hiding? Check your overflows. Sorry man.

There is nothing you could do to kill a fish in 12 hours. Well, almost nothing... If he was new, maybe mcnuggget is right.

Anyway, I bet he turns up. If not, sorry for your loss.

There's definitely things he could do to kill a fish within 12 hours. Throwing fish into a frying pan, or spear fishing in his own tank. Heck even sleeping with the fish in your bed could kill it.
But no seriously, the fish is probably hiding somewhere you can't easily see. If you're really desperate/worried move some of your rock around and you'll have your answer.

 

[rgun2515]

Yes... I guess a spear might kill a fish.

While it has been outlawed in many countries some distributors still buy fish, knowingly or not, that are caught using cyanide. Fish that are caught with this method will look healthy for what could be months and just suddenly die overnight. While this may not be the case you can never rule it out. This is one of the main reasons I try to buy only captive bred fish. Sorry for your loss man.

 

[ZANYMASTER]

That makes sense Marteen and it's cruel.I'm with you on the captive bred.

 

[lazibonez]

I am with you guys on this too, but I dont think there are too many saltwater fish that are tank breedable, that is the problem.

 

[ZBT3091]

didn't you buy this pyramid from lazi a while ago? that would rule out cyanide.

 

[lazibonez]

Yes, he did. I had my friend ordered for me, and I held it for a day, then sold to Nelson. I just looked back on my sale thread, and it was posted on 10-10-08. So that is well over a month. I think fish caught with cyanide wont even last more than 2 weeks. I could be wrong tho.

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Well,the poor thing is dead so it's probably snail food by now.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Sorry Dude

 

[ZBT3091]

i agree that cyanide couldnt have been the case. Butterflies can sometimes just be like that. Sorry for the loss

 

[ZANYMASTER]

I expect that from Copperbands.Hey Chief,General Grievous says what's up.
