Another possibility is that it was too weak to bury,

That is my first thought.

It sounds to me as though the fish is quite weak, and I feel the outlook is probably not good at this stage. Sorry.

Well you guys where right. Not sure of the cause. The real crushing news came today when my Potter's leopard was found dead, he was acting lethargic/drunk last night. They did not get quarantined, but where from a copper treated tank. How often should these guys be fed?? I feed daily and they always ate. Man, I'm devastated. That potter's was my favorite and was doing so good.

How's your meleagris?

Those leopards are enchanting fish.

Sorry to hear. I recommend feeding several small meals a day.

Thanks @Maritimer. Still no sign of the meleagris @Wilsoni. I guess I lost both my leopards within 2 days. It's got me baffled. They where both eating fine.

Very sorry to hear, I found potters can make it a few weeks and then drop. Such a beautiful fish, such a shame

Thanks. I had him 5 1/2 weeks.

Thanks. I had him 5 1/2 weeks.

Doesn't that baffle you even more? I know this does me, blue flashers have been my mine.

 

[Greenstreet.1]

Man sorry about your loss @Paul87 I know this is not an easy one.

 

[mr11]

Sorry to hear. I have a Potter's coming in tomorrow, this isn't encouraging

 

[4FordFamily]

IME with leopards - if they make it the first two weeks that's 1/2 the battle. The following month is another 45%.

The delayed deaths like that are possibly due to internal parasites that plague them severely as a genus.

I feed mine often only once per day, but they do have nori they eat throughout the day. When I'm home before the lights go out to try to feed a second time. They pig out.

I don't have the answer your looking for but I'd be pretty jealous! Never seen one in person, but the photos are amazing.

They are in the lunatus complex, so pretty peaceful. The worst aggression will be with other members of it's own complex.

Thank you very much I will take two then

 

[evolved]

Yeah, provided you don't already have any other members of the lunatus complex (lunatus, cf lunatus, johnsoni, isosceles, squirei), you'll be okay.
Risky if you do, however.

 

[Greenstreet.1]

Hmmmm well pintail is one of my very favorite ones so yes I have I will not tell how many [emoji16] and I also have a crescent tail.

They are now saying I can get a M/F [emoji91][emoji91]

 

[Greenstreet.1]
