Lets talk about my dead fishes :(

Yeah when my wife called to say we lost 2 fish I thought the tank was crashing or something. I have seen the goby thats paired with my pistol shrimp chase the diamond around when he gets to close to his territory. That may have been it but there are so many rocks and caves to go in I thought it was a bit weird that he would go strait up and out if he was being harassed.

Here is a pic of the other goby (you can see a bit of the pistol shrimp on the left)



I would love to get another diamond goby cause they are neat to watch and do a great job on the sandbed. But I'm not to sure if I can.

I think I cursed myself by posting in your thread today :O I was downstairs after coming home tonight and after dinner just staring into my tank any my purple tang came up quick on my sleeper goby and he made a dash from the sandbed to get away and went straight up and out over the side of the tank and onto the carpet. :O If I had not been downstairs beside the tank at that time he would have been a goner!

I hope this thread hasn't started a trend! Good thing you were right there. I'm thinking this is more justification to set up a webcam so I can monitor my tank from work

Sorry for your losses. I had a cinnamon clown fish chase a zebra goby out of the tank, along with herself

Thanks for the comments everyone. It sucks to loose a fish. At least these weren't due to sickness so the water quality is good and the other fish are fine, but it still sucks.

Ahhhh!!! I lost my Perc last night to a jump I went down this am to check on everything and I saw my two new false clowns but my Perc was not in his regular sleeping spot (beside the return line from the sump) I look around the rocks, in the sump, beside and behind the tank and did not see him, I step backwards and feel a "squish" He had jump a good three feet infront of the tank

I'm really upset, I have had this guy for over two years, he was actually the first marine fish I ever bought, he was in my very first SW tank, a little 10 gallon setup.

I need to figure out an eggrcrate topper today, it's going to be a PITA as my tank is rimless and does not have any thing to support the eggcrate, Ill have to figure out some kind of a clip system, I just don't want my heart broken anymore
