I have one large snail, two cory&#8217;s, 3 neon tetra, a working filter, 78*F, etc. What did I do wrong? original post: May 12, 2007, 12:43 pm egg131313 2008-05-03 Answer no. 1 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=dead-pleco-why#2 Hello, Could you tell us more details, please? Body changes for instance. Since I don’t know exact details, I can’t say it was because of acclimatization or another problem. However, two most common reasons of fast death after introducing fish into new tank are: 1) Acclimatization problem; Your tank’s environment is rapidly different than previous one, 2) Fish was probably sick before you got it. I have a great book on fish diseases, so once you tell me details I will be able to determine what went wrong. jan 2008-05-03
