My Sixline

I drip aclimate everythign I bring home anywhere from 1 hours to 3 hours in the case of my 2 new rock urchins. If done properly Aclimating them slowley isnt anymore stessfull that rushing it.

 

Well, now we can rule out voltage and params. I doubt acclimation would have stressed it, as it wouldnt have been eating. I guess one of your fish didnt like him :-/Can you list your fish for us?

 

there has to be a gap somewhere and he got lucky, well I guess in this case unlucky.

 

The main part of this, other than me being out 18 bucks and a fish!

Thats the first fish in 3 tanks, my whole life, that I've lost

My first tank was a 55, great tank, had to sell it though because I didn't have money enough to pay the power bill. My 2nd tank, which he jumped from, is a 75g. And I have a new 29 in my bedroom here, still working on it, but it's looking good.

 

I've got 4 green/blue chromis. 2 firefish. 2 yt damsels. 1 slf. about 8 turbos. 12 hermits or so. in a 75. I didn't plan on putting many fish in it, as you can tell.

 

I feel your pain, i just had a clown die, although I think he was sick from the beginning. I just bought a 6 line and he is now in the quarantine tank, this kinda makes me worry about mine.

 

Yellow tails the second spawn of Satan, lovely little fish but can be mean especially in pairs, how big are they?

 

Maybe those Damsels? Im also working on a tank for my bedroom its a 20, but the whole thing is DIY except for the tank itself, even the filter is DIY! So far it looks pretty cool Once again, sorry for your loss, and i hope your next is rather a success story

 

Well buddy, to tell you the truth they aren't all that big at all. They are only say an inch in length tops. No aggression that I saw from them at the time but, that story could have easily changed over night, I do agree with that.

Thanks for the input everyone! I'm gonna buy me some plastic covers for those gaps around my equipment, I am also gonna set up a fuge tank as well!;D

 

The bottom line is that they are jumpers, stressed or not...I have seen them jump for no reason...One has only jumped once, right into the overflow...
