Awwww.... So sorry to hear that M&M. He sure was beautiful fish.

I am guessing he was bullied to death. I had my gold one and a black one die last year due to a peacock that harassed them. that is why calvus/comps do better in a pure tang tank. He was very beautiful.

I've been looking for someone who tried mixing these calvus with peacocks or mbuna, I love the look of the calvus but have heard they just aren't tough enough ... ? You think yours was bullied to death?

well that was the only thing to change with the tank, and the comps would only hide because of the peacocks, otherwise they would be out and swimming about. That is why i guessed taht theirs died due to bullying.

Maybe he kept getting attacked from his blind side unprepared...

This was not the blind calvus (that one is still alive) and he swam freely in the open all the time, however I did see our Leporinus after him a few times. After his death we have decided to say goodbye to the leporinus becasue I do think he was the one to kill him and would hate to see it happen to another fish.

Karrie we are fine, thanks for asking. How about you and Kendal? I bet she can't wait for Santa :) How are all the fish? I am still looking for homes for all my SA and CA. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be :)

That calvus, i believe, was a male? So sad, very nice fish!
