It was new. Hadn’t had long enough to starve. I think stress of other fish
Or came in sick. One or the other.

I wonder now that the meds ran out how many people he yelled at to get off his lawn.
Is this get off the lawn thing a reference to David Copperfield or is it something else?

No references, just that Chris is a grumpy man and his favorite past time is yelling at people to get off his lawn. Business as usual, he's quite proud of it too.

Most fish are susceptible to a Foxface sting but they are fairly rare. The Foxface has to be very scared and feel cornered. Most fish loses to a Foxface are probably accidental.

I did lose a Black-Ray Goby to a Foxface sting but that was because the idiot was swimming right above the Foxface when it spooked. A Foxface will raise it spikes when it gets spooked but then it tends to run. They are lovers not fighters by nature.
I lost a Neon Cleaner Goby to my old Foxface for the same reason.

Sorry to hear tom. I haven’t had banggai . Was I two of them fighting like clowns do?
Yes, one was about 50% larger than the other and put in a week later. They were too small for me to sex them but I assume it was not a lover's quarrel. We never saw the aggression but this morning the smaller one looked bad. I had to use an OptiVisor to see it well enough to see the fins were shredded. We pulled the bigger one and tossed it in the display tank (it is still hiding) but the smaller one was just too far gone. Sad.

Paul your new affinity for upside-down text reminds me of when my youngest son found his belly button. You just couldn't get him to leave it alone.

But, but, but you don't understand. All sense of meaning returns immediately after life loses all sense of meaning. You just got to hang in the meaningless camp for a while.
As odd as this may sound, there is definitely some truth to it. Well said actually.
