Run of bad luck.

Slickwill613 · Mar 13, 2013

Hey guys, have a bc 14 that WAS stocked with a small occ. clown a tail spot and a yellow rose goby. Goby jumped into chamber two and landed on filter floss, DOA during a WC. yesterday I found my blenny in the mp10 during feeding, seemed active and healthy but looked like he was carrying a raisin in it's gut, not sure what that means but he was eating like a champ. The clown is fine, in fact it was bullied so bad upon putting it in the tank I was sure it'd be a goner but its still kicking.

Any way after this run I'd like to add something to the tank, can't decide what. I would like a nice splash of color, any suggestions?

How about a small yellow coris wrasse instead

We have a 6line Wrasse.. really colorful and active fish. We also have a Longnose Hawkfish, they're really cool looking and neat to watch. Also a really awesome pattern on them too

Six line wrasses are mean fish.

Stay away.

If you've already had trouble with 1 goby jumping I would stay away from them. A lot of them are known to be jumpers, I've lost 2 myself on covered tanks. The wrasses mentioned are really pretty and would be a good addition.

I know what spooked the goby, it was fine when I fed and not long after my two year old comes running up and slaps the tank. Found in filter floss later same night. I'm pretty sure it was content.

No way I'm getting a six line, had a beast that I gave away and replaced with the blenny. Besides, they get WAY to big full grown for a bc14.
