I hate cycling!

So the 3 stripe damsel died this morning, should I bother getting another one, or should I just let the cycle go until my params level out for good?

 

you could get another, it should be fine. did u feed the thing or just toss it in?? who knows, fish are wierd

 

I got it from a fishy fish store (no pun intended). He wouldn't eat from day one, but I assumed it was because of the params not being perfect... you think he was just sick from the get go?

 

probably, every damsel ive ever had ate like crazy, im talkin dang near jumpin out the water to get the food, so prob dont shop there anymore!!

 

Good call, did I mention it was the last damsel they had in stock? I guess Ill just drive the extra 30 minutes to the good store..

Karma

 

it sucks, but yeah u may have to drive a little ways to get better stuff, heck ive been known to drive over an hour just to get certain stuff!!

 

Don't get any Damsel but a yellow tailed blue one . They stay small and are not aggressive as many like the 3 strip are. And the parameters had nothing to do with it .. And not much to feed any ways I feed mine so little during the cycling process it hunts for food.

 

so if he was healthy he would have been eating for sure?

 

All my fish ate well throughout the cycle.

 

Tangster, I heard the same thing, only the yellow tailed ones. I stick with them.
