I woke up this morning to find one of my T.Duboisis dead trapped between 2 rocks. Is it possible that he got trapped there and that's how he died?

It's possible but unlikely. If you have any water movement in your tank, it is probable that the water movement moved him to that spot.

If the fish is not too decomposed, you may want to examine his gills, fins and body for possible symptoms of what weakened and killed him.

He wasnt decomposed at all. But unfortunately I disposed of him already.

There is a current but he was a really strong fish and could drive of any others if he desired.

I think Bob is saying that he was moved there post mortem when he couldn't swim against the current.

how long have you had them? Is it possible thatit was still stressed ou?

Ok, I've had them a couple of months. There is only the back of the tank that has the current, the rest is fine and smooth.

yeah i think if the fish was good and healthy and somehow got swept between the two rocks, he would for sure flail about a little to get unstuck... if the rocks worry you that much, maybe you should move em apart a little?


sounds to me that the fish died before the rock incident.
