white sleeper goby RIP

Guest

First topic message reminder :

to make my bad day (for fishes) even worse, i went in my fish room last night to turn off the lights. i didnt see my goby swimming around, so i started to look around and i found him laying between some rocks getting eaten by some bristle worms.
I SERIOUSLY HAVE NO FRICKIN IDEA WHATS GOING ON IN MY CURSED TANK! im going to get my water tested soon as petco opens up.

to make maters even worse, when i went in this morning to turn on my lights, my rustic angel looks like he just got done with a 12 round fight!!! im almost ready to take my tank down and go threw the sand. i think theres a MONSTER bristleworm in there

Is it always this hard to keep a salt tank? I am reluctant to start one now.

kinda like me LOL, the only fish i have ever qt'e was my regal tang. tangs and angels are prone to getting ich, hoever a tang can get it when stressed out, and so can a foxface at times. from time to tome my regal shows white ich spots but they dissapear by the end of the day.

i would say always qt tangs and angels, and as far as everythign else just make sure you climatize them properly.
