    My neice named him, sounded so innocent and everything. I had Nemo and Nemo's dad according to her, and it stuck. Well lately Nemo hasn't been looking too good, after some research I narrowed it down to an intestinal disease of some sort. Tried a couple different tricks to get him to eat, but unfortunately I was too late. I found him around the MJ mod today. He had pulled through these "spells" before and I was hoping he would do the same this time, I tried what I could but it happens. "His dad" is doing great, like nothing happened, so that's a good thing! RIP NEMO!!!!

    sorry for the loss, my advice get a replacement asap so you dont have to explain the death thing. Think that is coming from what I read in Otty's thread

    Very true, I think I will get a new one, just a little guy next trip up to Premium Aquatics. Was hoping to pick up another fish, but maybe I'll just get some inverts till he settles in. I think a mated false perc pair is what a SW aquarium is all about, at least it is what I envisioned when I got one for whatever reason:) Never thought I'd be sad about losing a fish but with as much time as I spend looking at and working on the tank I guess it makes sense.

    That's not what I wanted to hear just before going to bed. Sorry for your loss.

    Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Good news is Nemo's Dad seems totally unaffected by anything, looks happy as ever! And I must have caught it soon, parameters are still checking out good.
