My first loss :(

[Spikewire]

Well my favorite fish finally passed last night after three or four days of going down hill. Ziggy was a Royal Gramma and absolutely my favorite fish.:tears:

At this point I'm not exactly sure what it was. He was eating less for the last week or so and his activity slowed down dramatically in the final few days. Really sad to see.

Very bummed but such is the circle of life I guess.

Chris - Sorry about losing the royal gramma If your water is OK, things like this just happen. It could have been for a number of reasons, none of which you could have prevented.

Sorry for this.. it always sucks big time.

As Terry is saying check your water and if that checks out and nothing else seems sickly it's just "one of those things".

I hope your day improves

 

[Spikewire]

Thanks folks. Yeah I've been testing daily for the last week or so since he was eating less and slowing down. All was spot on and my other fish are happy as ever. I'm hoping it was just his time as opposed to a water or tank issue, but I'm keeping a very close eye on things.

Thanks again.

Chris I'm sorry. Those are beautiful fish and it's hard to loose them for sure.

I hear ya Nowellsy. It's definitely a different impact than my fresh water fish. I was upset all day yesterday. My family and I had a little "moment" last night.

"To Ziggy. A fine fish"
