Carey's LAST Build- 125g Reef

[Dary421]

Thanks guys. Sad to see a good fish go. I have no idea how long their life span is supposed to be but a year seems much too soon. All my water parameters are good, just in case anyone wondered. I have some high phosphates but thats about it. I've been testing for an ammonia spike since he went missing, but so far not even a blip. I don't expect one, I think the bio filter in my tank is like 200%, I never get a blip when anything dies. Even when Bob the sea hare passed and he was like a foot long. lol

" bob" the sea hare ? Lol

Bob was one of my first purchases. he was only an inch or two long...he was a great little creature. managed to make it about 8 months and he never got into the powerheads or anything. Such a good Bob......

Awwww man how can you be sure bob is dead????? I still have hope..

At least you still have mandy!

Sorry about bob..

That name kills me "such a good bob.." lol!

As soon as I saw him I was like well, "bob" it is. He just looked like a bob. Haven't seen him in a few months so I'm sure he has gone to the great reef in the sky. lol

LOL, My lawnmower blenny has been missing for about 6 days. he usually comes out at least to eat but so far nothing. :-( Bob passed a few months ago.

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Ohh poor bob the lawnmower better come out soon!!

 

[Fishkeeper92]

Oh i thought you said 6 days!!

Sorry Carey

Thanks. Been discussing what to do with that fish slot with the boyfriend. I do have another lawnmower blenny in the 20g for now, waiting on the 60g to go up, but anyways, we could put him in the 125g. It was considered my b/f's fish so I'm kinda leaving it up to him. Although now he gets to stock 2 fish since his clown went pergo surfing a month or two ago. He has the worst luck with picking out fish. And his first clownfish pick disappeared one day in the 125g so the b/f is now on clown number 3 while my little misbar male just swims along. lol

What do you guys do when you lose a fish? Do you directly replace him or get another fish completely? I have only tried twice with my squareback anthias, and the second time is the charm it seems, but any other fish that has died I havent gotten again. Am I just weird? hehe....

Replace" bob the sea hare"

I thought about it for a second. When I tell people I had a sea hare that lasted over 8 months usually they are shocked he made it that long. So I feel I gave Bob a good life and better than some other schmoe would have. LOL

I do miss him, he was the only fish i ever really held or picked up. I sometimes found him floating in the tank on the top of the water so I would put him back to the rocks. LOL My little marshmallow hehe...so ugly he was cute!

I officially cast my vote for replacing " bob the sea hare ".

 

[carey]

lol Dary. I'm scared if I get a second one he will suffer the fate of so many sea hares and meet an early demise. I hate having fish die under my watch. Makes me depressed. :-(
