Just went to do a water change and i found the plec i bought yesterday dead seemed to jam himself under the filter somehow not happy dunno if maybe the 1st one had been hassling him and he tried to escape n got stuck or what...

Sorry to hear about the death of the L134 Neo.

Sounds like he may well have got himself jammed under the filter, I think you mentioned that both L134s were male. Did you notice if any of its fins were chewed?

Regards.

Hi Adam no damage to him whatso ever but i had to tug abit to get him out

Sounds like he wedged himself in there pretty good, the stress of being trapped probably killed him.

These sort of mishaps are bound to happen when you keep fish, I've had my fair share of freak accidents.

You know what neo....one of L236 did the same thing between this rocks one time I noticed he was swimming wierd after i threw him into a new tank and he wedged himself in between these rocks and died! But I don't think it got stuck I think he was dying already and just wedged himself in there....When I tried to pull him out it was dam hard!!!!
