I found this in the corner of my tank this morning. I have a cucumber, but this is smooth looking, not spiky. Looks weird ...

Looks like a cucumber.... Have you accounted for your other one?

buk · « **Reply #2 on:** November 18, 2011, 12:41:58 »

i noticed once when the one i had was less than happy it was pretty smooth instead of the normal spiky appearance.

You think it's getting ready to die? This is what he normally looks like.

from the pics it definitely looks like your cuc. doesn't necessarily mean it's going to die but i'd keep an eye on it.

Sunny · « **Reply #5 on:** November 18, 2011, 13:06:54 »

I will .... I just noticed the Goby has died .... The Blenny was picking on him for the past couple of weeks. This just sucks ......
Going to get my tests out and check the water ...

buk · « **Reply #6 on:** November 18, 2011, 13:08:23 »

yeah test the parameters for sure. don't foget salinity. post up the results maybe someone can find something you may overlook

Todd W. · « **Reply #7 on:** November 18, 2011, 13:08:55 »

Keep an eye on him. A dead cuke' in your tank is nasty business as their innards are poisonous.

ummmmmm Micki .... how about I treat you to a Tim Horton's Cafe Mocha ... Yea, that's it, you come over here and sniff, I'll treat you to lunch .... sounds like a plan ....

Boonjob · « **Reply #14 on:** November 18, 2011, 13:54:59 »

Just sniff it... better than my test which involves you eating it.

Sunny · « **Reply #15 on:** November 18, 2011, 13:56:30 »

Oh good grief .....

Boonjob · « **Reply #16 on:** November 18, 2011, 13:59:29 »

It works for my underwear every morning

the sniff test that is, not the taste test; cause that would just be down right disgusting. I hate the taste of cotton, yuck

Sunny · « **Reply #17 on:** November 18, 2011, 14:08:49 »

omg ... lmao .... Boon, you crack me up. I had to move rocks around to get the net down there, but, I sniffed him, he doesn't smell. Glad that's over with. So, is he just pissed off?

HUNGER · « **Reply #19 on:** November 18, 2011, 17:49:00 »

Sunny · « **Reply #20 on:** November 18, 2011, 18:05:28 »

I did take him out and gave him the sniff test. He didn't smell. He's moving, just still looks the same. Smooth looking.
