kingtrident Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 So I have a 12g nano with LR/sand. I have two clowns, a red anemone and white bubble tip anemone, purple dottyback, emerald crab and various snails/hermit crabs. Oh yeah, a nice sized bristle worm. Which one killed my yellow head sleeper goby?! I saw him lastnight around 2am, he was hiding under a rock in sand. When I got up in the morning around 7:30am something told me to turn on the lights and check out my tank. There Charlie was, tore up from the floor up. I think my dottyback did it, knew it was an aggressive fish to types (genus I think) that are similiar. Thanks for feedback, tank has been up since halloween and this is my first dead fish.

kingtrident Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks for the replay and the welcome.

chewie Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Agreed with Miles and Mike! How long have you had the dotty? .....and WELCOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtrident Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Had the dotty about a month and half, the goby less than a month.. As my wife says, circle of life, but I'm still not happy about it. I was telling my brother in Texas about it (he has a 240g reef tank) and he said circle of life too.

rubberduck9 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 +1 dottyback it was eaither the dottyback or he swam into one of your nems, got stung to death and then got ripped up by the crab. Thats my guesse. Sorry eaither way, thats lame! (sad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batchelor Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Dottyback! Mine is a PITA! And will not make the transition to my new 150g. Neither will the Flame Hawk for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
