| Oh that is upsetting, dekker. I agree with you, though - the unexplained ones are the worst.  | |

| Did you test the water, just to be sure? Also, I presume you have bogwood (not Mopani wood) in the tank...  | |

| Were there any physical symptoms on the plec? Fungal growth or otherwise as sometimes they're prone to columnaris which looks kind of fluffy? | |

| I guess it was just one of those things then. It's possible that it was just harbouring some unknown illness and eventually succumbed. Poor little guy. | |

| Oh I would be so upset if anything happened to one of my plecs - they are my favourite fish. I am so sorry this has happened dekker.
How long had you had him? | |

| Am i right in thinking you have another BN ? if so - they can and do fight - quite violently on occasions - just a thought
Whatever the cause - im having state funeral and national week of mourning when one of mine flips a fin.
Will you be getting a replacement? or possibly trying something new? | |

| If you replace it try and get one of opposite gender to whatever you have left? They are fun and fairly easy to breed. | |

| Mine didnt need any encouragement to do their thing - just keep the diet healthy and water healthy and provide the basice luxuries a BN likes (caves and wood to lurk in) and one day - youll be rewarded | |
