    i posted a few days earlier wondering the maiting ritual of dominos. turns out they were dieing. a day earlier i noticed my blenny wasnt looking to well. my dumb a#@ should have sepreated him right a way. but no i left him in there and he nuked my tank and killed almost everything. i have one yellow tail left, and he will probally be finished when i get home.

    everything was going well then bamm.
    man am i ashamed of myself for not seeing the signs early enough.
    just goes to show im still new at it , and so for dont have a good track record.

    he just got lazy for about two or three days. nothing i would have suspected. just normal blenny stuff i guess. their an odd species all together.

    Bummer Dano! Good luck over the weekend and what a great excuse for a bigger tank, eh? Dilution is the solution for pollution!
