So my Tiger Shovelnose Catfish died. =\

I took some of your advice and bought a new filter, currently cycling it in a seperate tank. I tried fasting my fish for a day, doing it twice a week now, and it seemed to have work because the fish were eating again, even the Catfish.

However, it got cold down here in miami. The temp in my tank was naturally always 75 degrees but because of the cold front it got close to dropped down below the 60s so I bought a heater and managed to get the temperature leveled again.

Catfish was swimming around, eating, doing fine.

I wake up this morning to find that one of its eyes has completely clouded up and didn't seem like it could see through it either. I quarantined it immediately it a small tank and put in some pimaflex and a bit of that healing freshwater salt but it didn't make it. =\

Anybody know what could've happened? What kind of sickness is that when the eyes cloud up?

Brb, need to do some water changes in my main tank.

You best have eaten that thing, or its just a waste of catfish

Clouded eyes are symptoms of "I am dying, blargh." ie it is a general symptom of stress.
Check your ammonia/nitrites/nitrates levels.
And make sure to plug in heater the next time.

Please, it was like 2.5" long. Not even enough for a fish stick.

I know, I work in a Seafood market ironically enough.

A good slab of tuna costs more than that. Thats a cheap fish. Also, sorry for your loss.

I believe OP was referring to the heater, not the fish.

13.99/lb fresh actually, and those are some big Sashimi grade tuna slabs too.

I know, I'm a bit crazy, but of course I knew that, I had a 150 gallon tank lined up for when it got older years and years from now and plus a few friends at a neighborhood fish farm that would've easily taken it when it got too big.
