    Well I got home from work and my flame angel was dead!!!?!?

    I have no idea why....

    He was fine yesterday.. And this morning...


    I don't understand.... My paramters are good, he has been with me like for 3 months... He was eating like a pig yesterday ans he was even munching at my nori.... Only thing new was my vampire tang.. But I added him on Friday.
    How does a perfectly healthy fish in the morning die in the afternoon???

    I found him nipped but that's probably because he was dead..
    His mouth was open and his gills too.. No sign of anything else...
    Ugh...

    Just yesterday I was impressed on how cool he was...
    This is just sad... :(

    Sorry for your loss.... It always hurts.

    Did you feed him an angel specific food? or just what everyone else ate?

    I'm very sorry for your loss. This might sound horrible but I'm glad it was your fish. The title of your thread made me think that member PhoenixHeights had died.
