Well, the Achilles died tonight
Thank goodness we didn't pay full market price for him, but nonetheless, I'm super upset about it. I'm not quite sure what went wrong. It started acting a little odd and hiding and the Purple Tang and Blonde Naso started attacking it last night. They weren't beating on it today, but I think the damage was already done. They tore up the dorsal fin pretty good and we found him stuck to one of the MP40's tonight. Yanked it out and put it in the QT, but it just decided to lie on the bottom of the QT gasping for air. Tried a little Prime for a stress coat, etc and it just wasn't doing well. When I went out to the store, I asked that my husband deal with the issue while I wasn't home. I couldn't bare to watch it suffer anymore. I'm not sure where the aggression came from. Other than the first day when the Purple Tang was being a little bully, there was never an issue. My Naso has NEVER shown aggression towards anything and she really went after the Achilles last night. I was shocked.
The LFS has another one right now, about the same size, healthy, eating, etc. I'm thinking about it, but right now, I think my tank needs to just calm down.
I'm depressed
Wow, thats pretty aweful. I wouldn't try and add another one unless you change the rocks and such to break up the territory of the Naso and Purple tang....It sounds like they have been the big fish boss for too long.
