R.I.P Bill Cosby

Jess · 03-23-2009, 08:24 PM

Well, sadly, I just got home from work to find a feeding frenzy going on and upon close examination found out it's my diamond goby, Bill Cosby.

I knew he was losing weight, and did everything my LFS told me to do, but now he's gone. I feel like a bad mother!

I know some of you saw my thread called "Sweet Mutualism" regarding my fire shrimp constantly cleaning Bill. Well, my gut feeling was that Bill was dying, and they both knew it, so the shrimp fed off the dying cells I'm guessing. I could be wrong, and in about 5 minutes that will be confirmed, but that was just my thought.

Do I need to pull out his remains? (which would mean prying it off the crabs, urchin and hitchhiker serpant star)

I would suggest removing it. If it has something that is commutable, you don't want it released into the tank.

Sorry for your loss!

Thanks Dent, I just got him out. Clean skeleton

Yikes! You startled me for a moment. I thought the actor Bill Cosby died.
Sorry for your loss

Ha! Frankie, sorry about that, it did cross my mind when I posted it but I risked it anyways

I have a pretty funny story about a fish I had named George Costanza and when he died... word spread way too fast and it caused quite the controversy!

It is a bad day for diamond gobies. My beloved Fishie has gone MIA today. I took most of the live rock out and can not find any sign of him in or around the tank.
