A while back I got a pair of shark catfish - I was very taken with them, and although they are currently only in a 60 gallon tank, they'll get moved to a bigger tank as they grow.
At least, that was the plan. Then one of them died. I put that down to bad luck - I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced at this, but the other one seemed fine, so I wasn't really concerned. Then a couple of weeks ago, I got two more, making three in total, and in the last week, I've lost two of them.
1 might be bad luck, but even I know that three means there's a serious problem! Even so, the remaining catfish is looking very healthy and acting normal .
Anyway, although the fish shop told me they were freshwater, I've read that they prefer to have some salt in the water as they get older, though these fish are still pretty young, judging by their size.
So, could that be the problem? If not, what could be casuing the deaths? None of the fish showed any sign of having ben attacked...
