well as we have only been in our house a few months we left our pleqs with my oh family untill we was all sorted to bring them.
well yesterday we was only told that he had diead 2 days ago so we went and got a container to put the other 2 in when we had a look at the tank the thick bitch dident even realise that the heater had smahed in half in the water so god knows how long or poor fish had been swimming round with glass in there tank and that explaines how our other pleq died ...im so sad we had him 5 years now his friend look sad aswell

now they are safe and sound with us he .never let her look after our animals again as she carnt even look after fish

Rotten eh.. thats a good age for a pleq.. some people just say it a fish but when you had them a long time is sad to see them die I had a Lepord Danio called Humphry we had him since he was tiny and we lost him last week he was 9 years old.. he died of old age but still had a lump in my throut..

My babies, run free at rainbow bridge - Tommy, Molly and Tinkerbell. I miss you all so much!

his brother whos left looks realy sad i dont know weather to get him a friend or not ? i know even though its a fish it still upset me

So sorry to hear about your Pleco..I know how attached you get to them.

Goodness if the heater had smashed in half its a wonder no one was seriously hurt with being electrocuted.
Hope she turned off the power!!

Obviously the heater was not working so there would have been no heat in there for them too.

Lucky the other one survived.

aww,sorry to hear your news,weve just lost a fish and kids were heartbroken they really are part of the family

^^^ they are, i thought id lost one of my weather loaches the other night and i was starting to cry, but he's ok *sighs*

poor plecs my old boy is 12! i havnt had him tht long, his previous owner has though, he might even be 14 :O

the other one died though

they grow massive - ours is probably around the length of a sky tv remote and thicker

5 years isnt really a good age for a plec, as they should live 15-20 years. however, that is an astonishing age for a danio, which usually top at 5 years!

on topic however, yeah, im sure the smashed heater wouldnt have done them any good at all. my guess is that when they did a water change they forgot to switch it off, and then it smashed when they put cold water back in the tank. ive smashed many heaters this way >.<
poor thing may have been cut on the glass, as a fish like that + sharp glass edges do not mix well. it probably cut itself, which may have led to infection. obviously i cant say for sure though. im also surprised they didnt electrocute themselves in the tank. i remember the time i put my hand into a big barrel with a smashed heater at the bottom... that wasnt too nice an experience. i was knocked back by the force and my arm went numb for hours XD

Oh! I am sorry fishyfins we are so sad to know that your beloved and pretty pleq was died.I am so sorry but you don't worry.
Once again sorry.
