Like bad luck, apparently. Within the past day, I've suffered three fish losses:
1. A six inch long Platydoras costatus in QT for the zoo.
2. Male betta, who I had had for over 2 years, and previous owner for a year.
3. One of my Corydoras aeneus albino breeder females. The other albino is not looking so great either; frayed dorsal fin, sunken in eyes. The other 6 aeneus (not albino) in the tank look great.
The true odd thing is that I recently tried panda cories again from a not-so-great lfs, and all five of them are doing wonderful! May be going back for more...

The Things That Come In Threes
But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I will be unique in all the world..... You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

Sorry to here. Just this morning I had to send my 3yr old African Clawed Frog to his burial grounds. I knew he was going to die this week cause he had a disease I had been fighting for over a month and it just started over taking his entire body this week so.
Anyways I hope this "in Threes" doesn't happen to me cause all my other fish look healthy and happy.
Anyways R.I.P. to my frog and your fish.
