Oblio is fat, missing Damsel

Post by FishFan »

After 2 months of peaceful co-habitation our 1-1/4 inch Domino Damsel, Spot, began spending more and more of his time swimming within a few inches of and often even brushing against his good friend Oblio, our 5-1/2 inch Orbicular Burrfish. It was hard to get a photo without both fish in the picture. Today, Oblio is fat, and Spot is missing.

RIP Spot, we are sure your selfless acts of affection were appreciated.

A&R

P.S. We rather expected this to happen, but even though they are inexpensive we've don't advocate Dominos as feeders.

You got that right!

Ironically we put 3 hard cerith snails and a fighting conch in the tank today. We think they are too big to eat, but we'll soon find out. It's a win- win, if he eats them it will be good for his teeth and they'll be gut loaded with algae, If he doesn't they'll clean the tank.
