suphew Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Added a six line to my tank on Monday (along with a few other fish all of which are doing fine). On the first day he was swimming around having a good look for food etc (there are/were plenty of pods shrimp etc). Didn't see him at all yesterday until late in the evening when I spotted him at the bottom of my rock pile hard up against a rock, I checked again this morning and his is still in the same place. He is breathing (maybe a little slowly but hard for me to tell cause hes new) and his eye moved round to look back at me but otherwise no movement. I was wondering if he is in trouble or if this is normal? I know that they do commonly 'disappear' in tanks for days at a time, plus there was tons of live food about, I'm hoping that he has stuffed himself full and is sleeping it off.

chimera Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 RIP off I think he means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Haha, no was a good deal on the fish. Was dead when I got home last night. Problem now is its under all my live rock, no way of getting the body out unless I tear down the tank, so I guess its worm food. Hope it doesn't hurt the rest of the tank too much.

Brianemone Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 luckily mine found its way to the front to die :-? where did yours come from??? seems strange that they both did the same thing when all the other fish are fine in both our tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
