    I just found my Pygmy wrasse laying on the sand bed. :(
    Im guessing the reason is his bad eating habits.
    He would never eat when I fed he must have been eating off something in the tank and whatever it was maybe there was nothing left of it.


    It'll be hard to find but I will try to get a replacement.

    :bigcry:

    Liars?
    How are they liars. He has been in my tank for over a month and a half he wouldn't go that long with no food.

    Maybe the supply of whatever he was eating ended

    Fish can go lengthy periods without food. I'd go with an easier wrasse for your replacement.

    I loved that fish

    I am going to wait til I get my new tank and then try to get one again
    they are very hard to get + maybe my LFS will give me a discount since this one died (They are cool like that)

    I've had mine for about a year now, first few weeks he hid quite a bit, but now will get in the mix at feeding time (eats frozen and dry). The rest of the time he just picks of the rocks and is oblivious to everyone else in the tank. They are a little tougher, but I too would try it again. Too bad your across the coast I have 2 down at the shop.
