Bikini Bottom Mk. 1

I lost my Royal Gramma. Looked similar to another thread on the board and i'd reckon it was some kind of bacterial infection. Only had him almost a month. After a day of him being in active I moved him to the QT tank and tried medication. Didn't make it 8 hours. Really disappointed. He was a good boy but the Red Honey Damsel didn't care for him. That leaves me with six fish in the tank. I still suspect the Damsel of bullying them and goosing the Red Ruby out of the tank and bullying the Gramma to the point his immune system lowered and got sick. I don't know that, but i'm just going through the frustration right now.

Definitely a low point for me. My Ruby Red jumped through one of my open doors a couple weeks ago after lights out. Now this. Definitely feeling like a bit of a failure. I'm not adding anything else into the tank until June. I've been looking at an upgrade.

Might pull the trigger on it at the end of the year. I guess it depends on if I can keep what's left alive. We'll see.
