HVani Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Oh that's awful! I was just admiring that fish yesterday and now he's gone So Sad. Link to comment
gena Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 So sorry, Brad It really is a blow to reefing confidence when something like that happens. And you know, that just means you are a stellar reefer (like we didn't know this already) because you actually care about your fish I know the new goby will be just as beautiful. And a helfrichi firefish is WAY awesome!!!!! Chin up Link to comment
gena Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think these fish go to escape artist school. Your guy probably graduated at the top of his class Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Sorry to hear about the fish, I know the feeling all too well. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Some people just don't have good luck with fish! You corals however look fabulous Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Mandy's are also a crap shoot. You're not a fish killer either, the suntail doesn't even count since you have a lid. You made a reasonable effort to safely enclose your tank without sacrificing light penetration (tighter mesh) or gas exchange (glass). You also have no control over the power so I wouldn't blame the clown on you either. But I know you're sulking now so it's cool if you still feel bad, I think my feelsbatman.jpg lasted 3 days.

JoelRHale Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I have a maxijet 1200 that leaks about 20 volts, do you want it? Link to comment
gena Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Probably...Ima name the next suntail houdini Uh..no! Name him Lazy! You don't want to encourage the little guy Link to comment
ScubaEthan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm replacing the top tonight, on a different note, my cat doesn't have a taste for fish lol.... Yea harvanii - stinks, the new one will probably have dull coloration like this one did when I first got it, gonna need to beef up its vitamin intake to get it as vibrant as the last. Uh... should I even ask about the cat? haha What do you use to give your fish more vitamins/color? Some people just don't have good luck with fish! You corals however look fabulous My first go round at saltwater tanks was like that. All my fish died... but my corals grew like crazy! Hopefully I can be good at both this time. Probably...Ima name the next suntail houdini Uh..no! Name him Lazy! You don't want to encourage the little guy Good idea! Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Awesome names ... I really haven't taken the time to name them. L my bf has named the trochus snail but that is it. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I didn't take the time to name them until just now..after gena said don't call it houdini haha...wouldn't be fair to not name them all Right, right ... I am sure all the others would of taken offense that you did not name them So far all I have is: Lg Trochus snail is Dozer Tiger pistol is Spot. Because it is like the YWG pet. Link to comment
Felicia Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Man Brad, so sorry to hear about the fish. I guess at least you didn't come home to a cat eating a dead fish. That would have just been lovely. That firefish is soooo pretty Link to comment
ScubaEthan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 oooo is that one your's? You soak the food every time? I have garlic but have only used it when enticing fish to eat. Link to comment
Felicia Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 That's like one of my nightmares. I'm going to come home to Lily chowing down on one of my fish. Luckily I think my glass lid is going to keep them from jumping unless they manage to aim right for the opening around the skimmer pipes or the AC70. I did find a snail on the floor yesterday that obviously crawled up onto the AC70 and then fell off. You would think they'd learn to stay in the water. Have you heard of the Darwin awards? Jumping fish deserve one of those. haha Link to comment
ScubaEthan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 sweeeeeet that is one killer fish Will be putting garlic and phyto in the food tonight! Link to comment
