SO I put my rusty in the 240 last Thursday and Saturday I noticed that its throat was all puffed out. So Today I rigged up a 10 gallon under the 240 and caught the rusty and put her in t6he 10 gallon. She looks like she is stressed from the chase around the tank trying to catch her but appears to still be holding.

Oh and the rusty is about 3 inches

WEll I woke up this morning and the fish was dead. I put her in a ten gallon by her self a few days ago and seemed to be doing fine. No signs of sickness. The water tested 0 on nitrates nitrites chlorine. she let go of the eggs and they are floating around the tank. Anybody have any idea as to what may of caused this? The eggs are all a greyish brown color. If i had to guess prob around 15-20 of them. This is the first fish to ever die on me. BOO!
