RTG Update - RIP

[shaunwcl]

Never thought that I'll update in this section. Its been almost a month since I brought it back. Intend to update in a few days since the fighting has decreased or practically stops. Haiz....

Only visible diagnosis is torn fins. Comm fights are common but nvr thot this alpha a.k.a "big boss" in my juvi 5-aro comm will be the casualty. It has no high shine yet but almost full tail pearlies oredi. sad sad sad....

Did a test on the water and found PH to be 5. Therefore I suspect its PH shock. But why the sudden drop???

Anyway, goodbye my beloved. May you R.I.P (and perhaps let me strike 4D or Toto)...

Sorry about that, but if pH shock why only this piece?

shldnt be pH shock, otherwise other pieces will kena also. nid to find out the cause so ur other aros will not be affected.

is ur tank cycled fully? pH crash usually at the beginning stage of cycling a tank.

BTW, PM me ur aro tag leh. 4D share share haha

I should have noticed something wrong the previous day when the fishes were not eating much. Too complacent of me to take things for granted. But wat you guys say were right. If PH shock, why only this piece? N why the alpha??? Haiz... Mine is an old tank. N has been keeping aros since i join here. So surely no prob with it. Wat puzzles me is why PH drop? isit cos of melafix???

u notice a pH drop because u have pH monitor? so within the last few days, wat did u do to the tank water? any WC? addition of meds?
BTW, tomorrow..... HUAT AH!!! den after that u can sell off ur remaining RTGs and change to reds / golds...

omg, my condolences bro. i still remember a few weeks back we were still discussing abt your comm and now this happen. may he rip. dun take it too hard bro its not your fault. there is always a risk involve when trying to comm such territorial fishes like aros.

Dear bros,

Thanks for all concern. Having one passed away is not the worst. On Friday morning, another one go to heaven again... Not sure really wats the cause. No injuries, nothing. Water perimeters this time is normal. Perhaps it's time is up. The 2nd one is Tunghu hiback.. Damn sad, damn low morale.. Left only 2 RTG n a silver ... But nevertheless, my passion for aro keeping nvr dies.

Bought another two pieces back today. One is splenfour RTG with 5th lvl shine cleared n 6th lvl on the way... Will update soon!

Once again, thanks for all concerns n sharing my sadness...
Upzzz to all of you...
