Hi all,

It's always sad when there's a death in the tank. So the above died and
this morning when I fished him out, I noticed he had a very green belly.
It was not green like something growing on him, it was from the inside
out.

I'm curious if this is indecitive of some other problem or does this
happen to them when they die?

My pl*cos get "very green bellies" when I feed them big chunks of
zucchini. Very green swolen bellies, actually. Again, I'm not pretending
to be sure, but I'd lean toward the intestinal blockage line of
reasoning. Either that, or he just *happened* to have a big meal and
then give up the ghost.

You didn't notice he'd done serious damage to any of your plants, did
you? Maybe....the plastic kind? I've seen a pl*co do funny things in
search of grub.
