Aysha Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Antenna,mr. Firefish Passed away in my 29 gallon biocube on Monday, February 27, 2012 in his 3rd day of inhabiting it. It is believed mr.antennas short life was caused by him deciding to inhabit a rock that was too small. Beloved friend of Chromis "Stuntman Mike" and 4 blue legged hermit crabs. Predeceased by tankmates "Gojira" a strawberry top snail and Cromis"Super Dave" who went missing Febuary 22 and is presumed dead. A funeral service was held at the downstairs washroom on the eve of Febuary 27th 2011 Seriously tho, I've checked all my parameters lots the tanks been running for 2 months my algea cycle has come and gone and my crabs,corals and Hermits are doing awesome I'm really confused.

Quetzalcoatl Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Death sometimes is capricious and inexplicable. An autopsy was needed, but now without a body there is not way to investigate this sad incident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aysha Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 you can autopsy fish? I know how to check for basic fish diseases and the like (some are pretty freaking gross) I found him jammed up under the LR so I'm going to guess he got stuck, No signs of injury or anything unnatural otherwise.

Quetzalcoatl Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 What I hate the most is parasites, they are creepy, and they don't kill your fish, they just slowly feed on them :cry: and I assume that yes, you can autopsy a fish, look for damaged organs, chemicals, etc... Maybe you should bring a water sample to your LFS so they can check it for any dangerous chemicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aysha Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I did, the water's about perfect. I also run the same tests daily...nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
