    And the carpet wins. First fish I've lost due to a lack of a top. Still won't use one. Sucks though, one of my favorite fish.:furious3::furious3::furious3::furious3::furious3:

    Pretty much my guess just don't know who it would be. It did have a strange behavioral deal. Sometimes darting(not the kind of darting you would see a fish with external parasites do) as if it were going to leap. I'd guess my yellow tang would be the first culprit. The size ratio between the two has me thinking otherwise though. They've never squabbled before. I've even got a known jumper in my tank with no issues(firefish). I've had them both about 18 months.

    Well, now its time to pick out a new fish, to recover from your loss. Look into a Midas Blenny, great fish and looks awesome. Luna

    I can't find anywhere on the net if they are compatible with other blennies. I should know the answer to that. I've got a sailfin or combtooth blenny. I've been searching midas all day. I've been reading they are also jumpers.(?). You don't have a lid right?

    That su(ks Missionsix. Sorry to hear about the 6 line.
    I don't know a whole lot about midas blennies, but I'd replace your 6 line with another wrasse to perform the same tank duties as the jumper did - pod population control, eating small bristleworms, etc... and there's lots of nice wrasses to choose from too.
