I have bad news. My blood shrimp, Lawnmower blenny, and frogspawn are all dead. The frogspawn split a few weeks back and was doing pretty well. The thing split in half, and it had a head flying around and going in and out of the crevices, as the other half stayed implanted. My dad read up on it, and apparently this means that it would die. The light was then out for a week die to a vacation, and now it's gone.
The Lawnmower blenny and shrimp died from similar causes ( I think.) The Lawnmower blenny was found dead on the territory of my Dottyback. The shrimp was found, in one peice, but bitten open. Later on I discovered that he was decapitated, and in half. He just finished molting a day ago, too. But he was flipped upside down while he did this. When he was done, he looked off, his antennae were in odd positions, and he looked a bit... Deformed would be the best way to put it. So, I pretty much conclude that he was weak and didn't have defense to defend himself against the dottyback. The dottyback then, as I assume, killed him, as they are known to eat shrimp and were bickering. It also looks like the dottyback killed the blenny. His find were tattered, and they were quarreling beforehand. Your thoughts?
One day soon I plan to make a thread for my tank. Once I get a new fish. Or any livestock for that matter.
