Well I picked up a bicolour blenny a few weeks ago and she was been doing great. I have been waiting for a diamond goby to come in at my lfs as well as a nice sailfin tang.
All of the sailfins have been jumbos lately and last night when I went in they had a nice baby sailfin and some nice smaller diamond gobies.
I picked up a beautiful diamond goby and a baby sailfin tang. Both ate at the store and looked in great health.
I dripped them both for 3 hours and then put them into the tank.
The goby went right for the rocks and the tang swam around a bit and then darted into the rocks.
I didnt see them at all yesterday after the intial drop into the tank but didnt worry because I know that is what fish do. Well this morning out popped my goby and he was doing his thing and looking great. I was peaking around looking for the tang and couldnt find it. Went back an hour later and the tang is laying on its side breathing/still alive but in the back of my rocks where I cannot reach it! I am pissed and dont know why it would be so stressed and dying.:death:
I know I have one of those shrimps in my tank that are bad that make the clicking sounds but he has been there for 8 years and I have had no luck getting it out. I could see the tang perfectly and it looked great colourwise and its fins didnt have any damage on them so I know nothing was picking at it.
I had my water tested before I got the fish and everything was spot on.
I know that is how it goes sometimes with fish but honestly it ticks me off because it was basically like flushing $30 down the toilet...minus the fact that I cant reach it to even bring it back to the store and demand my money back or at least a partial credit.
Argh!
