Ahh, that really does suck.
Those fish are very beautiful, and one of my favorite jawfish by far! Did you find out anything about what might have happened?

I'm sorry to hear that Were these the ones you showed me that were in you're frag tank? What a shame. Everything looked so healthy.

Renee, Sorry to hear this. What happened?
Thanks for all the kind words.
I am not sure exactly what caused it, but when I came home Monday evening I decided to put a digital thermometer on the tank. I have had the fish I think for about 6 months and I never bothered to check the temps. I have had that tank for over 10 years and never had a problem with it. I only decided to put the thermometer on it since Mike had ordered some and there was an extra one. The temp was 86 degrees. I put a fan on it and a few ice cubes in a zip lock (did not leak).
I also did a fluke tab treatment on some corals Sunday and I put them in with the jaw fish. Unfortunately during the treatment I received a phone call and then went up to the computer so I got a little side tracked. They were in the treatment for a long time. They looked fine when I put them in there.
When I noticed the temp spike I also noticed the corals looking not to good. Since then there has been some rtning.
So, either the tank got to hot for the fish or for the corals and they might have had something to do with the fish dying. Not really sure. I have been a little down every time I think about it.:sad1:
