I don't know why, what or how. I did have 3 total at the same time in there. In fact 1 is recovering from a injury involving the powerhead & LR (got caught in the stream) & it has been hanging in there & slowly making improvements. The 1 that passed :( yesterday was the smallest of the 3. True there was the mildest, I repeat, the mildest aggression from the the strong Firefish. Kinda like, get out of my swimming space. I know that there was othere sides of the LR &/or aquarium for her to go to, but she hung out close to the larger stronger's area in the front. She actually ate that day. I did & have notice some changes in behavior. Such as it wouldn't come out right away when lights came on & if they were turned on before the usual time, she sleep till about the time they did & then come out. She was lying low to the bottom yesterday (so is the injured) & was sorta falling on her side. I did take note, but thought maybe she was resting or just letting the water take her where it wants. Which usually they hang mid point in the tank free-floating in place.
My clean-up crew got to her & I am asumming all of her by now over the night. I probably should do a large water change??? It has been a week since the arrival of some in the tank (Clarkii, Shrimps & Wrasse). Please would anyone know what could this have been??? Just nature??? 'Big fish, little fish' stress??? Not my water I know (perfect) & no infections that I know or see & no damages to the body. I kinda thought the injured would go first & was shock to see this.
