Sad Sad Day

[Sherri]

Wow...what a shocker - I have had my pair of Blk/Wht Clowns for 4 years now...they were babies when I got them...they spawned all the time....beautiful pair. Two days ago when the lights came on, I noticed the larger female's fins were tattered and she was breathing heavy. I got her out & into isolation...last night she died. Never bothered anything in the tank & no one ever bothered her. Wondering if maybe "HE" did it. Noticed him going across the tank to my other 2 true percs alot lately.

My heart hurts as they were my favorites...I could almost scoop her up in my hands... now I need to find another one...she was at least 3-4"....sniffle* Anyone seen any for sale anywhere? sniffle*

Sorry to hear that Sherri, I am about to make the rounds, so if I do see one, I will let you know!

what a bummer, sorry to hear, Sherri. Hopefully you can find a replacement. Might not be a bad idea to try to find a really small one if it's a while before you replace the female just in case the male starts to change...

Sorry to hear that Sherri. Losing fish stinks, whatever the cause. Hope you find a replacement soon.

MissT...personally, I think he was changing...he had gotten a bit bigger lately...I think because of the other true percs...she was awesome...they were my 2nd & 3rd fish I got 4 years ago. The first being my Mandarin which I still have...in fact...I still have most of my original fish...

and I was thinking of a smaller one to replace her...

ScorpiNO...thanks for the lookout...

[Sherri]

Thanks Ed...she's the first one I've lost from my original group....it is the pits...she was really trusting with me...
