    Sorry for your loss. Sucks to lose a fish, especially when they seem to be getting better.

    sorry to hear about the loss.....I don't think the size should be that big of a factor. Unfortunately, I've tried keeping kole tangs for a total of 3 over the past few years and have lost all of them after a short time.....I never was able to figure out why.

    Mike Im sorry....sometimes there is no explanation...I have come to the terms that some make it, and some don't. I know how bad it sucks, but in this hobby, unfortunately there is that risk. I used to get emotionally attached, and feel responsible, but, it is what it is. If you did not feel bad, it would mean you don't care. Move on and keep trying. Sometimes they just don't adapt. IE...I had a Diamond Goby that lasted 3 yrs...I loved him. I have tried to replace him 4 times, and none have lasted more than 48 hrs. Hope this helps. :-[
