It would almost be funny if not for the fact the story includes a dead fish. A lyretail damsel that I originally thought was just a chromis (very similar). I remember clearly buying 5 in 2013. One died right away and the other 4 lived for years, survived long distance move ect. One disappeared a year or 2 ago and the remaining 3 have had a weird dynamic. They go through stages of looking really beat up, then recover. They spend much of their time hiding / guarding eggs on the back glass. Now that there is only 2 left I'm curious to see how they act.
My tank is covered but with a hood. I don't really know what happened but I heard a loud splash and thought a fish jumped. I found him in the water with an obvious spinal injury. I put him in a container with an air pump floating in the sump but he never recovered. RIP. Old picture below when they didn't look as rough as now.
