    Bit dumb founded... but My CopperBanded Butteflyfish Passed today.

    Lights are off as its getting late here. Im sitting in my room typing and reading 3reef... When all of a sudden my Hydor Evo makes a horrible noise... I quick turn my lights on for my room, And nothing is around the evo. Instead in the back of the tank lays my CBB, all shredded on one side. He passed within 5 minutes of the event :(.

    I dont really get it. He hasnt ate yet, but he was only in my tank one day. He was very healthy in the store. All the other fish in my tank are doing wonderful. He even got real excited when I tried formula 1 Frozen, Was swimming through the gunk! He was playing around all the powerheads today. I noticed Last night that his sleeping spot was right under the Hydor Evo 750...

    I wonder if he was really sick from the start or just well... just being drowsy accidently got stuck :(.

    This really sucks! :(

    Sorry to hear, that sucks when you don't even have a chance to really enjoy the fish. Your questions are all valid in my eyes. You would need a necropsy done to figure them out.

    Thanks :(

    He was so cute!! :( Well this is strike one, of 3... Im giving it no more then 3 shots.

    Pretty sure Im not sure what happened. And pretty sure if I was missing a fin like he was, Id die too from that, or pass out at least.
