Re: Kuhli Loaches Keep Dying Suddenly When the tap water changes, water change can be the reason fish die, but in most cases, such changes are not that big. Most likely, the fish you got after it was only 1 day at the store had something with it - and that desease is now killing fishes.

Lack of oxygen in the water will cause your fish to swim to the surface to breathe; the concentration of dissolved oxygen is highest here. As soon as you notice that most of the fish are gasping for air near the surface, act immediately because this is a clear sign of distress.

If your betta is swimming sideways along the gravel and otherwise seems normal, your fish may be suffering from a swim bladder malady. If your betta is gasping for air, laying on his side, and unable to move, your betta may be fighting a more serious disease, such as a fungal or bacterial infection.

Despite their unique look, Kuhli Loaches are actually very peaceful and get along with tons of other freshwater species (especially Guppies!). Like a few other species on our list, Kuhli Loaches prefer to be kept in small groups of 3-5 individuals.

The results of my experiment are in: kuhli loaches prefer rocky gravel. This was statistically significant. Rocky gravel was the most popular choice, followed by small gravel, with sand being used the least. Rocky was chosen almost twice as often as the other two substrates combined.

Freshwater fish that wind up in seawater will have a similar experience, eventually dying as their bodies become overly dehydrated. It's critical that fish use osmosis to regulate salt in their bodies.

Unlike most other fish, Mackerel have a very sensitive skin membrane which degrades as soon as it's been touched. Even a little stroke will result in a slow painful death (about 30 hours later on average).

Why? Well theyre spawning! There chasing each other around the pond to beat the eggs out of the other ones! Look at all of your female fish and try and see if she is bloated, if so, make a spawning mop, theyre cheap and easy and will help in the long run.

Clowns are very social and do best with buddies. That being said I have known them to buddy up with other types of fish. I had a trio of loaches 6 years ago and also had an ich outbreak. It killed every single fish in the tank excluding one loach.

Dead puffer fish washed up on the beach are a common finding. ... Specially trained chefs prepare the puffer fish so that diners experience a small tingle or numbness on the lips when eaten. However if prepared incorrectly, or eaten in large quantities, puffer fish can be fatal to both humans and dogs alike.

The fish are always healthy when i buy them. There may be some dead ones in the tank but you expect that with all the stress. Our pets at home lets the fish rest for around 2 days after a delivery which i think is great. They are also very good with stocking and never let you over stock.

The reason they are at the surface trying to breathe is due to a lack of dissolved oxygen in the water. The low levels of oxygen are mainly due to a lack of aeration or poor water quality, which can then cause the fish to stress.

Yes KuhlI loaches can get ICH. ICH can be treated with out medication which is a good thing for Kuhlis since they don't react well to meds. Do a good size water change and see how they act. Scratching is also symptoms of high nitrates.

Fish may die of old age, starvation, body injury, stress, suffocation, water pollution, diseases, parasites, predation, toxic algae, severe weather, and other reasons. A few dead fish floating on the surface of a pond or lake is not necessarily cause for alarm.

It could be stress from traffic in your home, or from a harassing fish. New fish will breathe rapidly from the shock of being transported. You should also test your water for high ammonia, nitrate, pH, and nitrite levels. These can be toxic to fish and cause stress.

If you see your fish gasping at the surface, you should conduct a water test immediately to find out if there is anything wrong with it. High ammonia or nitrate levels, low oxygen levels, improper temperature or a high or low pH can cause stress. ... Also, fish need multiple hiding spots so that they can avoid aggressors.
