when it rains it pours
Tank is taking a beating latley
First my very happy clown fish jumped out leaving just a YWG and a gren chromis I replaced the clown with another chromis and a fire fish. The fire fish seemed fine the other chromis is being mauled by the original chromis. He looks like he only has a few days left in him. Then my new fire fish goes awol. I thought not another jumper but Icovered the top better and couldn't find him. I thought maybe he is hiding. Well I just found a hermit crab chewing on a red peice of flesh. maybe 10% the size of the fire fish but that must be his remains. Not sure where the other 90% of him is I have looked everywhere. I am sure he in going to spike my tank. And on top of all that good news I have an awful cyano and hair algae outbreak.. whoooo good times....!! |

Fire fish are notorious for being jumpers.
