Well I think I jinxed myself. Just the other day I commented on how great my Copperband was doing. Penny has been in the tank for nearly four months - not a long time I realize; but she was eating well, showing no signs of disease or stress, controlling aiptasia, etc.

Came home today to find Penny had expired. She was a beautiful fish, by all indications perfectly healthy, and today, not so much. This is only the 2nd fish I've lost in nearly two years and I have to say it stinks! The really sad part is the only decent picture I have of her is when she was in the QT tank.

Goodbye Penny...RIP.

 
Amen. It's one thing if there is something "wrong", at least there is an explanation. Not so much in this case, at least as far as I could tell. Thanks.
