spectra Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Poor Dot Don't beat yourself up too much though, who would have thought she was even capable of jumping? I told her Bob was probably tired of Dot nagging him so he just tossed her out Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Poor Dot Don't beat yourself up too much though, who would have thought she was even capable of jumping? I know! Well, JBB/Bryan did tell me they can jump. They can actually crawl up the side of the glass and over if they get spooked. I didn't listen Their pectoral fins are really strong. I told her Bob was probably tired of Dot nagging him so he just tossed her out ha! The humor was appreciated Link to comment
vlangel Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 O no, that is terrible! Poor Bob...O yeah, really poor Dot! I am sorry Stella, that is very sad :-( Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 O no, that is terrible! Poor Bob...O yeah, really poor Dot! I am sorry Stella, that is very sad :-( It always seems worse when they're a pair. Well, it's bad no matter what. But now I just feel bad for Bob being all by himself. I wonder if you can add another croucher but I have no idea really how you do that and know the sex. Link to comment

I honestly figured since they don't swim much I'd be good. But time for a top. I should've done it to begin with!!! Link to comment

Well we all make mistakes like getting into this hobby Seriously though it happens to us all and well we live and learn........no need to dwell there is another dot around the corner and like Jack said maybe Bob is gay Link to comment
vlangel Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I know how feel about the broken pair and Bob being left alone. Thats how I felt when Sarah died leaving Abraham, my pipefish by himself. At least he still has Adam and Eve though and they are kind of related since they are all sygnathids. I know if I get another pipe and its the same sex that they will fight, and like you, I don't even know for sure that Abraham is a male. Link to comment
