RIP little buddy

[HB AL]

Woke up the other day to my little buddy swimming in circles on its last breathe and appearing to have gone blind erratically swimming into things, she/he passed less than an hour later and gave it a proper burial with his favorite coral as a tombstone (my daughters think I'm wierd) my wife understands the loss of my prized possession, my Clown trigger I had raised from a 1 inch juvenile. Had noticed a few weeks earlier it appeared to be going blind as I was having to put food right in its face. No idea why as all other animals are fine, just one of those things I guess, and on the rare occasion it always seems to happen overnight. RIP bud.

Sad to hear about your loss, it may have been old age.
That grave for him is beautiful and it hold something special for both you and the fish.

Sorry for your loss. It just has to be the worst part of the hobby. Nice for you to make a nice grave. RIP

Ya miss his antics already. A friend tore down his tank and gave me like 6 acro frags, he would always swim over to any smallish frags and pick them up and swim across the tank and drop them, this would go on for a few hours, as I would put them back and the process would repeat itself, kinda weird there still in the same place a week later

I’m curious if you would ever get a second Clown Trigger? Or would you get a different species instead?

No I would definitely get another but no way I could add a juvenile with the current posse in the tank, might start up a fish only tank for the living room in the future a 400G (no more room in my bedroom) with all juvenile fish, and a Clown trigger would be 1st in. The good news is I've secured a 6 inch male Crosshatch to add to my current tank from a local source but it has severe pop eye, which hasn't cured, it's definitely, certainly blind in that eye now so it's gonna be amputated and I've named it one eyed Willy after one of my dogs.
