What happened? I was in the shop last week and there were only two in the tank, and one of them was severely beat up.

While it is normal for the male to get aggressive with the female when trying to spawn, this type of fish should be watched carefully. Sounds to me like they are not receiving proper care, and that's a shame because these should be treated as a prized possession in the fish world (no matter how many tanks you have to care for).

If I remember correctly I was there in December and he had sold this group. Chances are someone brought in some to him that they could not properly care for.

That could very well be the case. I made the connection (erroneously?) that Ken was stating these were the same fish since it was posted in this particular thread.

No big deal I just wanted to verify it was different ones.
When I worked out in a store in Saginaw I had someone bring in a bunch and a arowana along with the tank. Every fish had HIH and it was so bad they didn't make it over the weekend. Education is key when getting into keeping bigger fish any fish really.
