This question popped into my head this morning. My daughter is leaving for college in August, and we were discussing breaking down and selling her 65 gallon cichlid tank and its inhabitants. The tank is gorgeous with huge fish, but mom has already has two reef tanks to clean. The caveat is that she use the funds to purchase a smaller tank to take to her new apartment to house Big Sexy. BS is a Blood Parrot fish that she bought 3 years ago no bigger than a half dollar. Now he is about 5 inches, and has the personality of a Labrador puppy. We are very attached.
Don't get me wrong, I love all my reef livestock, and am completely bummed with any loss, but Big Sexy is on a different level. I felt the same way with a ginormous boxfish I had years ago. I grieved when he died of old age.
My question is are you particularly attached to any one fish are coral in your tank?
