How Many have you lost??

whats gill flukes?

 

A royal gramma, thats it. I had put it in my temperate system just before I switched to reef and it was eaten by my mud crab. I bought it cheap at a so-so store. Should not have bought it from that store, but I figured I would give it a try. Ended up getting a Chalk Bass to replace it, still have it today.

 

I lost count a long time ago :-[

 

That sucks

 

Yea tell me about it - most were when I was a noob and didn't know what I was doing. Gotta say thanks to 3reef and all the knowledgeable people here for helping me get the RIGHT information on things instead of relying on my LFS who would tell me anything I wanted to hear

 

UPDATE people.....

today is a really sad day for me... why you may ask?

well today one more fish was added to the death toll.. My powder blue tang :'(

im really sad. he was one of the coolest fish in my tank..

he had a small outbrake of ich, i was told that if he was eating that he should be fine.. Yesterday he ate like a hog... i dont understand why he died, since he seemed good yesterday... im so bummed out. :'(

 

Wow, where to start....
1 Queen Angel (sick when I got him)
2 Yellow tangs (Ich)
2 O. Clowns (Ich)
Regal Tang (Ich)
Mandarin Goby}
<5 Chromis
Spotted Goby
Blue Cheek Goby
Maroon Clown
2 Royal Gramma (ich)
2 Caribbean Blue Surgeons (experimented with taking them from the reef)
Niger Trigger (jumper)
Undulate Trigger (looked like some kind of necrosis)
I'm still sticking in there. Even though every time I make a silly mistake, I feel like throwing the towel in.

 

Sorry to hear that. I feels really horrible when something like that happens. Sorry for your loss.

 

thanks.. tank feels so empty without him..

even though i have 9 chromis 3 gobies and a foxface..

 

I lost a green chromis today. No apparent reason. No ich or other parasites that I could see. Fins all looked good. It had a little red on the bottom of it mouth but this could have been from getting blown around all over the tank. My first warning was it was plastered against the side of my Koralia 3. I released it and it decided to do a headstand in the sand. I stuck it in my fuge but it was dead in 15 minutes. Just tested everything and there are no chemistry issues that I test for.
