Bi-color blenny
« on: December 09, 2010, 21:14:54 »
My favorite fish got in my over flow and I found him dead tonight in my filter sock.  I am pretty bummed out.  Just yesterday he was swimming around as happy as can be.  I have had him the longest of all other fish.

Had he lived, I'd be totally happy.  This is the kind of stuff that makes me think about quitting this hobby.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I have lost 6 green chromis in 2 weeks time to my overflow. They got stuck in the filter sock.  :-Cry Found the last one today.

Yep.  It's a bummer.  I might replace with the same fish or I may try something new.  Hell I may not replace him at all.  Too soon to really tell.   :o

So sorry to hear about the loss of your fish :(

Sounds to me like time to ditch the filter socks  :hmmmm:

Unfortunately we have all been there.  I had a blue spot jaw fish jump out my tank, I left my hood open by accident.   Try to learn from this and be sure the next fish can't get there.    Your next fish will appreciate you more.
