A Very Sad Day

It is a very sad day here at Grizzly Acres as our Lion Fish, Leo, has pasted on & is now swimming in the big water in fishy heaven. I have no idea how old it was as we got him when we bought our first 65 gal SW tank this summer. He was one of the most magnificent creature's I have ever had. Don't know what happened to him but it was very fast, in a matter of 2 day's all his side fin's & dorsal fin disintegrated away, it had a big open wound like something was eating him. So very had he was our favorite fish with a personality like no other.

Here is Leo in all his glory.

I had a lionfish die in the same way a few years ago after I did a Flatworm Exit treatment. It was pretty heartbreaking to see one go that way... but at least the cause of its death wasnt a mystery to me.

I have no idea what happened he was doing so well and tank parameter's were spot on.

Atleast it was fast and he didn't suffer. But he was my focus point in my 75 gal corner & I don't know what to do with it now he is gone.I still have my Snow Flake eel, Valintini Puffer, Picasso Trigger and a Green Sea Star in the tank but don't know what else to add that would bring the tank back to life.

Thanks Lisa, not sure where I want to go with the tank now. I know I want to keep it as a FOWLR tank. What would you suggest with what is in there now?
