Hi I have recently lost a couple of Barra ranging from 150mm to 250mm. Water temp at 25deg C and all nutrient levels well within spec. I have a heater in my tank maintaining water temps. On the last couple of dead fish I have noticed some skin blemishes, see attached pics. Any of you folks have any ideas for me?

Hi Wal. Seems like they got crowded into the corner with the heater and burnt them, then they may have stressed out. What are their weights/age they look good looking fish. Maybe put the heater into a slotted 90mm pipe, with an air stone inside to keep them off it. One of my heaters is 500W and have been concerned about this happening, but mine is down next to inlet pipe and harder for them to get there. |
