i think this is trouble now..

I'm sorry Marvin,

Take comfort in knowing you did everything that you could to care for these fish. This type of thing happens sometimes, regardless of how well we care for them. It's a shame that you had to go through this, but keep your head up. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do. Don't be a stranger.

Marvin, I know you will recover. I to and many others have been in your shoes. About a year ago I went through something I have never came across before and didn't lose everything,but lost alot if you know what I mean. I had just got my Pair to raise a good spawn and about two months later all my tanks came down with a something one by one. I think clearly there was a water thing going on,but from video I saw it look nerological or it could have been a swimming blader infection. Who know,but you did the best you could with what you had and knew.

Keep your head up and don't give up. Just take a brake and come back strong. This is what I did and things have worked out well.

Good luck and take care

Marvin, I haven't been on in a while, but I am sorry to here about your fish. I had a similar problem with an African tank. After doing my water change from the tap I lost over 30 fish. I found out it was a water problem with the city here. Hang in there.

I'm so sorry to hear of this news Marvin. I to think it was definately something going on with the water that was out of your control.
It happened to me here a while back as well, but not with Discus. Lost a bunch of fish after a water change only to find out the city was cleaning the main water pipe on our street, tons of chlorine, no way I could have known.

When you are ready for Discus again please give me a shout, I'll always have a couple around here to get you started again.
All the best

Marvin,

I am very sorry to hear of your losses. Know that you did everything you could to raise beautiful, healthy fish. It definitely sounds like something happened to your water. This is not your fault. I know how frustrating that can be. I had to give up my previous discus because of water issues at my old house.

Sometimes after experiencing a loss like this, it's best to take a break and figure things out. I hope that you will stay in the hobby, though! Things like this happen but there is always the chance to start again.

Marvin, always sad to see these things happen & I'm sorry to hear, & yep these things happen even to the most experienced of us. I don't wan't to bring things up too much although losing a whole few tanks worth lately I really know how hard it is especially when all tests & precautions have been taken. I just keep fighting On. You have & will continue doing a fantastic job & just find that inner you!

Marvin:

I know how you feel, I lost a whole tank of Wild caught Blue Frontosa`s that I brought from a friend. I was doing everything right had several females holding eggs and 2 females actually holding fry, everything was going great. Fed them in the morning and came home from work to feed again and the whole tank (all 12 fish ) were dead. Figured out that the heater got broke and the water got hot enough in just 8 hours to kill them all.

keep your chin up things will always get better....
remember you have friends here.....

Hi Marvin
Really good to hear from you again.
I'm sure everyone would be very interested in finding out what went wrong with your discus as we all felt your pain when that happened.
Wish you the best with everything, take care buddy,
Bill

Glad your absence was only temporary and you're back on the forum Marvin! Setbacks like the one you had would affect even the most veteran of fish keepers.

Take your time especially in light of your employment situation. The opportunity to get new stock will always be there but continue to comment on or create new discussion threads!

[Chad Hughes]

I'm glad to hear your back! I knew you would be!

Best wishes!

[Eddie]

Hey there Marvin! Glad to see you back and if you have time, shoot me a PM. Be good to here what was going on and how you are doing.

Take care my friend!
