    I brought a few fish home from NSA's open house Thurs - a green chromis, rainford's gobie, and a firefish. Also added some large pieces of LR and rearranged my aquascape. Saw the little firefish the first couple of days but haven't seen it since. Is it hiding?... or dead? I really don't want to get in there and move that rock around anymore- it was pretty stressful, but should I do that to see if I can find the firefish?

    Green Chromis bit the dust about an hour ago - started out with a purple blotchy spot that looked like it was rotting - got worse through the day and then.... RIP. dang it.

    Still haven't seen the firefish... I hope he's hiding.... really, really hope he's hiding.

    Firefish are known to hide like that. I rearranged my rock a couple of months ago and didn't see him for three days. Added a tang about a month ago....didn't see the firefish for three days. They are funny like that so hopefully he is in there.

    They are known to jump as well. You might check behind the tank. [​IMG]

    HOLY FISH CRAP, BEANHEAD! I never thought of that! [​IMG]

    My tank isn't too open at the top, has a standard hood with places punched out for the filter & skimmer - but I poked around the back with a flashlight and didn't see anything. I'll keep my "nose" on alert for that all too awful smell though!

    Have I said good grief lately???

    GOOD GRIEF!
