well...yesterday was a tragic day.... my baby puffr died unexpectedly...the night before, i fed him...he accepted about 2 small pieces of chopped calamari, and then later that night he took another 2 bay scallops. he was fine, still swimming around, still begging for food, acting completley normal. then at around 5 AM, i woke up, still saw him swimming normally under the moonlight of my tank, and then when i got up at 630, i noticed him just laying on the floor, still breathing and then all of a sudden he stopped breathing. =[
latley i have been noticing my tank has been getting foggy and i could never figurre out why..... like a.t.m. its really bad, i have a 16g bowfront, and im sure u all kow that really isnt that wide of a tank....well...looking thru the frot of it, i cant even see to the back wall, i cant see the heater that is suction cupped to the back, or the filter.....the water is greeeeeeeeeen. bleh. so im guessing its contaminated..
i took the other puffer, the eel and the blenny and xfered them to my bigger tank, as much as i didnt want to, and i know you are all going to hate me for it....but i dont really have any monet to fix this tank, and i was going to take it down anyway...so i dont see the point in spending the money for nothing. the only thing i have to do is clean off the liverock (and i mean scrub the hey outta it) and the sand so i can put that in there....right now i was only able to put like 2 cups of sand in....just enough for my blenny to forage for some algae until u get my rock in there...and i have a ton and a half of faith in my guys to make it thru the cycle cause they all have survived high
nitrates and high
nitrites in the smaller tank...and the eel has survived everything so far with no problem....including jumping out of my
acclimation bucket last night and slithering around my room. that was creepy.....lol
but anyway... yesterday was a horrible day. =\
and the puffer looks so tiny in this tank....i swear he shrunk....lol
