Do Not Listen To Me!!!
Yesterday I walked over to my tank and like usually the fish all came to the glass except my Powder Blue.
I knew it right away he was dead.
I have a Yellow Tang who the Power had always seemed to stay away from. During seaweed feeding I used to have to make 2 different ones so it could eat in peace.
I never saw them fight but I always saw it just keep its distance. Lately it seemed worse but again never any violence.
As everyone knows the Powder Blues get Ich when you say the word stress. He had shown signs but with time and garlic it would go away.
This last time it looked 10x worse than ever before but in the morning he would always seem cleared. As the days went on he was only half better in the morning and was starting to only stay in one little spot.
Not alone but he never strayed from this are. Never scratched and still would eat like normal. I had just told my brother the day before he would be fine. He didn't really swim too much and his breathing looked normal.
Well I found him thankfully behind the rocks but getting him out was a job. I had to take out a rock and eventually I had to stab him. There was my large sea cucumber already on him. He had no signs of Ich on his body when he was dead.
He had no marks at all on him. I am just shocked that he would die so quickly. While his body was covered it seemed he was just fine and like I said fine in the morning.
I was waiting on food soaking stuff with vitamins as I recently ran out.
I can't lie I was very pissed off/upset he died and the tank doesn't look the same without him. I decided that I will not be buying another Powder Blue.
I am also convinced if not for the Yellow Tang he would still be alive. The Yellow Tang while not openly a douce was not nice to him. I was actually surprised he wasn't tougher in response to the Yellow Tang or actually not the aggressor.
If I ever get another it will be after the Yellow Tang is gone. That won't be anytime soon though I hope unless I see him even think about bothering my Lieutenant Tang. That is my boy and I will not allow anything from the Yellow Tang now that I am on to him.
The Lieutenant Tang is the nicest fish I have after my Clowns. He always comes by my hand now when I am doing something and is always courteous to other fish even though he is large in size.
