My bioload just got smaller

[lokii_37]

My bioload just got one fish smaller. I can out this morning to find my algae Blenny dried out on top of my egg crate. I think the tang was probably chasing him and in a effort to get away he jumped made if thru the cover and couldn't get back in.
RIP Lenny the Blenny

Sorry about that. Probably one of the few times the cover will work against you.

Aw man sorry to hear that.

Xit that sux, I had that heppened too but my fish was still flopping on top of the crate so I put him back in and he was ok.

That just happened to me a few days ago too with my pink stripe goby. I'm glad i decided to check on my algae turf scrubber in my biocube he was swimming around in the tray.

That sucks! I had a Blennie who died too, and I was really bummed. They're cool little fish.

I also have a Blennie named Lenny...

I couple days after my Blenny jumped I found my last tiny clown dried out. . Then just yesterday I found my yellow headed sleeper goby found his way to the ground.

The only upside is I was wondering how I would be able to get him out because he spreads sand all over my corals. And now I have some more room for some larger fish

Well that's a bummer!

You still have the egg crate on top? Is there an aggressive fish chasing the little ones?

 

[lokii_37]

Double post

 

[lokii_37]

Yep I still have the eggcrate on top. I have a kole tang but I only ever saw him chase the Blenny. He was peaceful to everyone else.
I guess I'm only going to buy fish that won't fit thru the eggcrate from now on

Or fish with poorer aim!

Or something like Bulk Reef Supply's 1/4 in. netting. Seems like that would take a really determined carpet surfer to make it thru that.
