    In the last 12 months? I've lost dozens (sigh)...
    The highlights:
    3 anemones -- eaten by sneaky chocolate ship starfish
    Tang, Scooter Blenny, Domino Damsel and Clownfish -- killed by overfeeding by neighbor kid who was babysitting the tank.
    Lemonpeal Angelfish -- wouldn't eat
    Saddleback Clown, Tang -- Ich
    banded coral shrimp -- wardrobe malfunction while shedding

    And now the latest: My $80 Flame Angelfish got ich 4 days ago. He, and the rest of the fish, are in a quarantine tank for treatment. But this evening, the Flame seems to be fading and I have little hope.

    Postscript: The Flame Angel was dead the following morning (29 April 07).

    5 rainbow trout I caught in lake Taneycomo. They were all dead within seconds of cleaning, breading, and putting in hot oil.
    R.I.P. trout.

    :eek:
    One hippo tang...outgrew tank (10"+), moved on to fish heaven in large LFS display tank (he gave me a 3" replacement) - she was on way to Seattle Aquarium if he had not taken her. --- Sad to see her go as she was one of my originals.

    But at least I can visit her.

    Replacement has settled well in tank. My 2 blue damsels chased her about for a while, but interesting enough my Coral Beauty would protect her from the others. Eventually everyone mellowed out and all is now well in Omar's tank.
