Once again the tank is in peace.
The Flame and the Coral Beauty were swimming together today, no chasing each other around.
The Kole Tang isn't bothering any of the 2 Angels and everyone is eating

3/16/08 Update

Sad day today, my 2nd fish since i started this adventure has died. This time it was the Lawnmower Blenny, or Camouflage as we named him.
Camouflaged liked the new tank but wasn't able to find as much food as he found in the old tank, so i believe he died of starvation. He wouldn't eat the algae i put in the rocks, and he was getting skinnier and skinnier by the day, i tried everything but nothing worked. Hopefully he is in fish heaven, i even gave him a burial.

RIP Camouflage

It's sad to lose a fish, especially one with as much personality as lawnmowers have. He went to fish heaven for sure, where he has joined all the fish that I've managed to kill while getting better in this hobby. Sad to hear about your fish.

Re: I Got Civics In My Tank...BlueSi4's Tale of The 75RR

Yes it's been only my second loss but i hated this one. I didn't know that a fish like that could have such an impact in a tank. I mean they are not the prettiest of fish, but they do sure as hell cool. I would wake up in the morning and he would be in the side right next to my bed, laying on the bottom of the tank just looking out the tank, it was actually pretty cool, i will deff miss him

Re: I Got Civics In My Tank...BlueSi4's Tale of The 75RR

I know they are great fish, but i don't think right now there's enough algae in my tank to feed my snails, Kole Tang and Lawnmower Blenny.
I will deff pick another one up as soon as i get more algae
