So bummed! Was a female, have had 3 weeks. Was eating just fine, and getting more and more out and about in the tank. She was really beautiful. Just looked and saw my nassarius eating her. Her fins were really picked at, I'm thinking one of my other fish did a number on her.

Probably my yellow tang, my Klein's butterfly, or the coral beatuty. They're the three "mean" fish in there. Really bummed. I mean, $200 bums me out too, but I was really staring to dig on her. I pulled her out, and the colors on her are just amazing.

DAMN IT! :(
 
Man I have been through it. My poor lenny..... he was the man..........

I don't know who killed him but he was pretty beat up as well. I had him for 2 or so months by that time.

I am trying a labouti this time around. Then flames.....

Will you try again? I am going to try again, they really are beautiful.

BTW im pretty sure that wrasse is faster than most agressors. It is very probable she was nipped at as she was dieng or after she was dead.

Sorry for your loss
 
I don't know, I'll probably try another. I didn't think about that, and you're right, they are fast. She was just fine yesterday, I'm bewildered as to what happened. Very bummed!
 
dont try more if some thing is beating them up. Take the fish beating them up out then put them back in after the fairy has time to adjust.
 
Just curious, did you QT the fish first? I wonder if the fish was weakened when added to the display and just couldn't keep up with competitors?

Sorry for your loss.
