bad news. the purple firefish we've had for about 2 years finally died. it was a sad day in our house especially for my daughter who was really attached to him. she would come down every morning and "check up" on the lil guy when we first bought him and continued to do so until he perished. he survived 2 tank crashes that also had an ich outbreak at the same time. Poni is survived by his buddies (scissortail goby and blue gudgeon goby) who shared the same cave. :cry_002::cry_002:

i'm assuming old age? he just stopped eating, had no fin damage, no ich, nothing.

Sorry.. :(
