    Bad news: Poon the Tang is not looking good! As most of you will recall he got ick during the trip home from the lfs and got sucked to the mj mod. I turned it off for a couple days then fired it back up with the smaller propeller and he seemed to be doing pretty good with daily flake+garlic feedings. Well tonight I just noticed he has marks on both sides of him with flesh hanging off. He was breathing real hard and finding low flow spots to chill, then I looked away for 5 min. and he has been nowhere to be seen since. My best guess is one of the 2 emeralds got ahold of him or he might have somehow been sucked into the mod and thrown through the impeller? All I know is that I probably won't get a fish as small as him anytime soon, he was smaller than a quarter. I'll hope for the best and will let everyone know what comes about...

    Thanks... hopefully he will miraculously make it but I highly doubt it... anyone else have a fish that had flesh hanging from it?!?!

    awww that's sad...did you see the remains being eaten? maybe it's just hiding out within some rock?
