Lost my first fish in over two years

[ilovemytank]

Well its a sad day. I woke up to my blue streaked flasher wrasse was dead. He was fat and eaten well and had been showing no signs of being sick. I found him under the lip of my carpet anenome. the anenome wasn't snacking on him. Not sure what happened but I gave him a little funeral. all my other fish are looking and acting normal and my parameters are right. Anyone know about how long these wrasses live ? he was about 4.5 inches. Hes been full grown for a long time.

Sorry to hear that, but 2 years is a great accomplishment.
I lost a copperband a couple weeks ago. Fish just die sometimes...

copperbands die all the time lol.... when they live past 6months, you receive a gold medal though.

That's the thing with wild caught stuff especially adults, you can never be too sure how old they are. Now you can go get another fish to replace it.
