Have you checked your water levels?
Any signs of illness?
Recent changes?
Size tank and age?
Sorry for your losses.

i tested the water, everything is normal
they looked healthy just yesterday
5 gallon change 5 days ago
46 gallon running for appx 2 years (i know its small for those fish, but i didnt know that when i got them)

By you saying everything normal, what does that mean?

Could you give us specific test results so we can help you?

nitrate? how big were the fish? and how long did you have them...

 

[loopy738]

nitrate is about 30
ive had them a year and a half. the naso was about 6"-7" the hippo was about an inch smaller.

nitrate is 30? ... Ur definatly going to need to bring that down! Was it testing this way before the fish went belly up?
Also, sorry to hear

 

[loopy738]
