It's more likely that they died for some other reason, and then got stuck to the intake.

I have 5 right now in a 20 tall. Would have more but i have plans for other fish so i'm holding off on adding to my initial group until i decide on the final number of other fish. Most people recommend a 20 long though, saying that since theyre bottom dwellers that they'd appreciate more...

What is currently in your 10 gallon besides the corys?

What percentage of water are you changing during your current water changes?

Anyway just thought I'd update you guys who were following along, Driveway passed away last week. He/she must have been turning about 2 years old. I guess that's a pretty typical lifespan for fathead minnows, in the wild at least. I'll miss the goofy little guy. Always checking the puddles on...

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was hoping and assuming, it just seemed so strange, like 3 or 4 on the same day is very unusual for these guys, wondered if maybe there was a secondary possible cause that would trigger a shed that I should know about. Thanks though. :) Sent from my...

Not that anybody seems to be paying attention, but my second loach that I did remove, he also died. On a possibly unrelated note, my bamboo shrimp - 7 of the 9 have all shed their skin this week. They all seem fine and happy, but it's unusual for them to all shed at the same time. What does that...

Well, isn't that funny. I've paused on images of fathead minnows dozens of times (mainly just because of the name) buy none of them looked quite right, but this link with the picture showing the darker head and tuburcles has to be one of the closest images I've seen so far. I wish all the...

Really hard to say what he "normally" looks like because he's spent the majority of the last couple years hiding under the driftwood log with his bestie, my kuhli loach. He usually only came out when the lights were off, and moves in lightning fast bursts. Lol. Sent from my SM-N900W8 using...

Hey, local. :) yep, check your driveway, if we ever get a spring. Lol. Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I've done some googling but so far haven't come across any pictures that come close enough. I haven't found anything like a local field guide though. I honestly have no idea what I'm looking for to narrow it down so it's hard. If he's deformed, well. I guess we'll probably never know then. :/...

Haha. No, I didn't end up doing that. I was hoping maybe he'd grow into some distinguishing features. Guess not then?

And then here's one of his face from the front. If you can zoom in, you'll notice perfectly evenly spaced rows of white dots, these are only on the front of his face, nowhere else. I'm not sure if that's an identifying mark of his species, or possibly a symptom of something wrong with him. :/...

Here is the clearest shot I got today. Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
