scatman Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I had a Arc eye hawkfish in my tank for a while -he was quite a lively chap and always first to the food . I added a frag of Xenia and when i put it in the water a small piece must have come loose and drifted in the current. The hawk did his ussual pounce and swallowed the piece in one go. As soon as he did he made about 3 mid air flips and nearly jumped out of the tank. He was never the same after that and from then he never had food again. He hid and never perched on his fins. This morning i came out and saw all was not well -he was thin as and i knew it was over. Later i found him dead -36 days without food. I know long time without food is not rare and i wonder if this has happened to someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Some fish learn the hard way. I had a frog fish who ate a bird wrasse that was 3 centermetres longer than he was. It was a hell of a site. I regret not taking a picture of it. Aaron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
