    Tank (37 gallon) is about 2 years old and fish are starting to die. :( Lost my first about 3 months ago, and another last night. I guess they are hitting old age (as I have no idea how old they were when I brought them home). These are my first deaths in that tank. Didn't even lose any when I was a newbie!

    RIP Spike and Spot :cry:

    Sorry to hear about the fish. It sucks losing fish after having them that long.

    Positive. I tested and everyone else is happy.

    My royal gramma was full size when I bought him 2 years ago, so I think it was just old age.

    My highfin perchlet was pretty small when I got him...but I'm just figuring it was old age too. :( He wasn't eating too well the past few days.

    Sorry to hear. Just think of it as an opportunity to get something else. Doesn't take away the sting of losing some, but the excitement of looking for something new will help some.

    That will not work. LOL

    My red head pseudo is not nice to new additions. I tried replacing my royal gramma with a new one a couple months ago, and the new guy did not last long....:devil2:

    well I can say that that is a long time for any fish kept in captivity and, if you enjoyed them as well as gave them a happy home it still sux but look at the bright side ;D ;D

    Thanks guys. :( Is 2 years good? I was hoping they had nice long lives.

    Now I'm all stressed out just waiting for the rest to die. Geeze, I hope not!!
