Mobile Bay Reef Keepers

Hey guys, its been a while since I last visited. I just wanted to let you guys know that my favorite and most long lived fish ever died tonight.

I found my VERY old maroon clownfish dead this evening. I have had her since Aug '05. When I bought her, the former owner told me that he had her about 3 years and bought her as a 1" juvenile. She has been living at my dads house for the past 3 years or so, and we were actually going to be moving the tank to our new house sometime this month. She has outlived dozens of tankmates and has lived a long good life. I will miss her.

It always sucks loosing fish and even coral when you have had them for a long time. It's like they have THEIR place in the tank and once their gone the tank just looks different. Hate to hear your loss, about 6 mnths back I lost a clam I had for 5 yrs and the previous owner had for about the same. It sucks.

Sorry for the loss, I know it sounds strange and some people would not understand but they become part of the family in a way. I was very upset when I lost my blue tang years ago.

That was a really nice fish. Sorry it died. Photograph is great. The preopercular spine is huge.

Im very very sorry for your lose ill be geting on soon
