A very sad day-

scouncil · Sep 4, 2008

My powder blue tang which had hung on valiantly with ich died today. I had hopes that it would live, but it was not to be. I will be forever plagued with the inability to own a powder blue in my tank (with my other tangs) and I just can't get rid of my big Naso. He's like family now. The purple is doing fine.

The only consolation that I have is that a bird (ok, it was Brandon) told me that Bryan's orange shouldered tang has died as well (and I had nothing to do with it- I'm SURE that it didn't think that it was coming home with me at any time in the future). That doesn't really make me feel better. And Patrick's clam. Poor Patrick. I'm sorry. Now pardon me. I'm going to go eat worms...... They taste good actually....

i guess it just wasnt ment to be but it always sucks losing your favorite fish i have a buddy he wants nothing but to keep a flame angle and no matter what or where it came from he always loses them all other fish are fine no bullying and sometimes it would live for a week or 2 he even had one last a month and a half and just one day he came home to it dead. needless to say after number 4 he didnt try again.

I was big enough and healthy enough to hold off the Naso tang (the purple was new, so it wasn't too aggressive), but then it got ich really badly. Very sad. I just can't keep them alive.....

I gave up on flame angels too (though I never tried as many as the powder blues, it only took 2 of the flames to die to make me give up....)

Well susan I would show pitty but then you opened your mouth about my tang. there is a problem with your story though. my orange shoulder is doing great and eating great, as is the new yellow tang, oh and I cant forget my beuatiful POWDER BLUE tang that is just amazing. But i will say my white cheek tang did die. I dont know why, no ICK no bite marks. just one day perfectly fine and the next day stuck in a rock. looks like he got spooked and darted into a rock and got stuck. anyway. I dont call that the same as your suicide missions! hehe

Oh, just rub it in. Salt in the wound. Very painful..... And it was Brandon that reported the suicide mission that has had mixed stories.....
