Today is the saddest day for me. More sad when i lost my marginalis butterfly for no apparent reason (it was the only one in my country).
I've lost my favourite fairy wrasse, my roseafascia fairy. This fish is so rare in my country that it has only ever appeared like, 5 times?
Mine was the last and one one in my whole country and it's gone now.
here's the story. I obtained 2 females that were mixed up with some other fairy wrasses. No one saw it but i took notice and was so excited! the condition in which i obtained them was not very good, and one of them did not make it. no worries, because i still had one.

the remaining one was also a tiny little female. i treasured it alot and it was my goal to grow it into a big male.

over the months it grew, quite quickly i must say, into a small sub-male. i was pleased and i was so happy! i loved my rare roseafascia alot. i know it might not be rare in the U.S, but it's almost impossible to obtain one here.

fast forward many months later, almost a year, it has grown into a big 4 inch male. the tail has yet to fully develop yet though.

and then it's gone. i just did not see it anymore.
devastated. fairy wrasse and flasher wrasses have this sickening behavior of sometimes just vanishing without reason. has anyone experienced that before? or is it just me.
i don't know why, but i miss my roseafascia already :sad1:
it was fun raising it into a male. but why did it have to go like that.
