RIP... Randall Goby

[mpoletti]

It was on this day, that Mr. Randall Goby had enough of his glass world and he took his own life. He could not stand all the bickering in the tank. After I added the copperband butterfly on the 4th, the purple tang started being a purple tang and Mr. goby said enough was enough. He jumped ship this morning. My wife came out to find him on the hardwood; lifeless.

I saw the pistol tonight and he looked all lonely in the hole by himself

What kind of top did you have? I'm using eggcrate but I feel like a few fish could still make it through that too.

very sad Mark, Ive been there before, I have a similar story, Where my youngest daughter came up to me with the goby in hand, saying fish dad fish, My first response was to grab it and throw it back into the tank, as it sank sadly, the mama clown swooped over and drug him over to the sea bay, Bitter sweet day. Sorry to hear of your loss, Get a new one yet??

ahullsb-- I have a canopy over my tank. But when it is so hot, I leave it open. I am not a fan of eggcrate.

AJPacino- I have not got a new one yet and probably not going to but any more fish until after reefapalooza. I hope to have the back room completed so I can start my hole in the wall
