Sadness :-(

Well I woke up today to a unpleasant surprise. I went to feed my tank and noticed that my blue throat trigger wasn't front and center as usual. I immediately knew something was very wrong. After looking around I found him dead in between the tank and stand on one side. Guess he jumped in the middle of the night. Normally I have screen tops on the tank but the plastic screen had begun to dry rot so I had removed them until I could replace the screens. Totally bummed because he was by far my favorite.

 

Man that sucks.

 

Sorry man,

I know how it feels to loose a favorite like that.

 

Crappie pic but yeah dead as can be. Only plus is that now I can add some high end wrasses I have been wanting. He was a wrasse killer for some reason.

 

Yeah it sucks but it was my fault. I should have had those screens replace weeks ago.

I had something similar. I was questioning the screens I used and I waited too long before replacing them

 

did you have shrimp in the tank to?

 

Yep he never touched them.

OK that's just weird. Killed wrasse but not shrimp. Hmmm

 

Right he was a bit of a odd ball lol

 

Was the shrimp in the tank before him?

Was looking at getting a trigger but I am tossing the idea

 

sorry about your loss,no different than any other pet or loved one.sucks.

 

Yep shrimp where there first. Had to feed him well before adding any small fish to the tank as well. He would dart after them when first introduced if he was hungry. But after that would never bother them. Well other than the wrasse he bit it's face off and the other one he gutted.

 

Sorry to hear about your loss. I had a Blue jaw pair for a while. Did not harm anything. I have a few wrasses.
