    Hi there!

    i have a cleaner wrasse. he went missing for 3 days and looked dead when i found him.... has anyone experinced this? He seems to be fine now... swimming around and eating.

    Second my two yellowhead gobies, which i thought were male and female. they constantly swim together and sleep in the same hole. One of them has a buldge on its underside.... maybe a tumor? or is this typical of a egg carrying fish?

    TIA!:)

    Is it possible your tank underwent either a pH swing or low O2? Could have affected the wrasse before others - canary in a coal mine effect...
