Lost Mel the Melanarus :(

So some of you have probably seen my thread in ASAP http://www.3reef.com/forums/asap/wrasse-not-acting-right-something-wrong-68627.html ...all the background and tank params are here. I lost my melanarus wrasse today, he was such a cool little guy!

I guess I just wanted to share my frustration. It just seemed like it came out of nowhere, and I felt like I couldn't do anything about it. I can't really find an explanation other than my other fish picked on him, although, from what I could see they didn't really fight or anything. A nip now and then, but the wrasse definitely held his own. I just feel like I shouldn't get another fish unless I figure out what happened

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

WOW....so I think he just rose from the dead! He's actually swimming around Boy do I feel silly. Maybe he's gonna make it

 

hope he makes it do you have any pics of yours, i'm planning on getting one once my tank is ready, how do/did you like yours

 

oh he's awesome! I don't have any pics but you can google image search and a pic of one should come up. Kind of reminds me of a parrotfish as far as coloring goes. Lots of personality, very active. He usually follows me and will swim on whatever side of the tank I'm currently by. Def a great fish

 

zombie fish

 

sweet, im ready for an active fish, my puffer, who would be the tank mate for the wrasse, isint very active and usually sleeps all day, but hopefully that will change once he's in the bigger tank
