I came home yesterday to find my magnificent foxface had died and I'm not sure why. This fish was my pride and joy and I am so depressed right now. My only big fish since I set up this 125 gal in February. He was the last fish added, a few months ago. All other fish are acting normal. I didn't see any thing wrong with the body when I took it out other than that his eyes were gone. No signs of disease on him ever, and no spots or anything on other fish. The only thing I noticed "wrong" with him was that he would swim with his nose up and down the glass a lot, like he was trying to escape, from the corners and front of the tank. But he ate pretty well with the exception of the last few days when I noticed he was eating but not with as much enthusiasm as usual. Also I'm feeling bad because this past weekend I changed the rockscape, the only time I'd done that since I set up the tank, and maybe it stressed him too much. I was really careful to move slowly and wait for him to swim to the other side before I moved rocks. This is the most depressing thing to happen to my tank right now. I QT'd him so carefully, felt so lucky to find a mag foxface because they don't get them in often. Every night I'd think how much I loved this fish. Guess I loved him too much :(
