Who killed them?

[fkdenton]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a real life murder mystery on our hands here. Yesterday I noticed my yellow clown goby was missing. Today I discovered the body of my small green clown goby. Now the question, WHO DID IT.

The suspects.

1. Me- Poor water quality.
I dont think this is the case because all is doing great with the other fish and coral. I have lps easy sps and some softies and all are doing great. Sp 1.025, temp 79 havent done other test but they should be fine.

2. Large green clown goby
Twice the size of the other two, he is fine today. I have never seen him mess with the others though.

3. Somehow the RBTAs
The body of yellow clown has not been seen. But the greens body was not even close to them

4. Female Clown
Has been more aggresive lately but has never messed with the gobies. Recently beat the crap out of suspect five for getting close to her anemone.

5. Cherub Angel
Seems peacefull, recovering from butt-whuppin

6. 2 bangii cardinals
Have never bothered anything

7. 2 cleaner shrimp 1 pepermint shrimp
Peacefull

8. Hermit crabs and snails
Dont know how the crabs would catch 2 of them

9. Assrt Aggresive coral
Frogspawn and hammer

I am going to attempt to post a poll let me know who you think

Thanks
Floyd

Not supposed to mix these little guys, unless it is a maited pair or a very large group in a very large tank.

They always ignored each other, They have been together a few months

Then why did you list it as a possibility ?

That was my advice take it or leave it.

I listed everything in the aquarium, The big goby is my pick also but I am just suprised that they all got along and then he went nuts. I realy cant see anthing else that would do it though.

From what I understand.
The gobies take the opposite sex of their first encounter with one another. In the wild supposedly they can be few and far between. Some have to travel a great distance to find another one. So maybe one day one of yours decided on a sex and showed the others that hell hath no fury like a woman.....
