I've had mine for just over 2 yrs, they are really entertaining. Boy they sure have climbed in price, though not cheap back then either.

No and mine looked awesome as well for the first 10 days.
The place I got them from is reputable and I don't think it is something that they did or are aware of if it was cyanide.
The only other thing that i could see that would be a problem would be low oxygen, but that would be for the 2nd one as the first one that was defiantly not the case.
Looks like I will never know what really happened.
But then that is part of the risk we pay for having a hobby like this.
I really wanted one of these, but don't think I will try a third.

Did all the tests the day before when he did not eat,and ran all the test when I found him dead. Looked like he had just died so I don't think it had time to foul the tank yet.
If you look at the pictures he still looks good for a dead fish, and he defiantly did not starve to death.
I wonder how many of us loose fish that we have no idea what happened.
The first one I thought nothing of as in this hobby it happens, but two times exactly the same way I find strange.
