fishoholic will become famous soon enough
Unhappy and the hits just keep on coming

So as if it's not bad enough that I'm losing my fish "one by one" which makes me think of the new murder mystery series Happer's Island (good tv show) is were their catch line is that all the people will die "one by one" (which is said by this little girl in a creepy spooky voice) the worst thing I have ever witness happened last night that will forever haunt me and give me nightmares (as if this whole thing wasn't my worst nightmare already).

So my regal tang shortly before she died (I honestly think she was trying to commit suicide) she starts thrashing around in the tank literally ramming her head into the tank walls as hard as she can, smashing her head on top of the piece of ply-wood and egg create covering that we're using as a lid (to keep the wrasses in) over and over again for about 3 minutes (which felt like a lifetime) and she did this about 3 times before she sunk to the bottom and died. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing, it was very horrible to watch It was like she was trying to tell me to put her out of her misery but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, I feel so awful and anytime I think about it I start to cry

My naso tang and my yellow tang are dead. My sailfin doesn't look good and (the big piggy) wouldn't eat last night. My king angel ate but since I have lost all my other angels, I don't have a lot of hope for her right now.

Finally caught the 6 line wrasse out of the reef tank last night (got to be to late yesterday to do it, and we ended up taking out almost all to rock to be able to get him) it took about 2 hours to do catch him and 2 min.'s in the QT for him to die

Someone recommended a fresh water dip on the ones that look bad, it's supposed to get rid of the larvae or eggs in their gills which is cutting off their air supply and might give them a chance to survive. Seems worth trying, unfortunately it will have to wait until tonight as I need to get ready for work.
