Sad story and funny story.
I got a royal gamma and a red spotted blenny at BWA last week.
first night my dottyback was picking on the gamma so i put them lights out and they left each other alone.
lights come on an hour or two before i get home from work, when i get home the gamma is in an open area of the tank .. with a couple little nipps but looks ok... i watch them lots and the dotty seems to be leaving it alone all the time.
come home from work the next day and it has a few more chunks out so i put him in the 15gallon.
come home the next day and its dead and half eaten by the sandmonsters allready.
so then yesterday i cant see the red spotted blenny at feeding time.. thought nothing of it he might be hidden, go down to feed them today and he is not seen again
check the overflow,
check the sump.
watch the tank for like 15 mins
look at the frags in the 15.. and low and behold there he is
there is no way he could have jumped across because the canopy blocks it.
my only guess is he went up the shared return line and got spat out into the small tank.
I think he looks skinny i think he might stay there for a few days till he gets plumped up
