Default To my First Fish

My very fish saltwater fish died today of 1.5 years. An Candy hog fish, He was a beautiful fish.

Due to my wreck less, power head.

It was approximately 11:20 when i decided i should change my power head to night mode. but i screwed up, during this easy process. so i unplugged the MP10 and plugged it back in and little did i know he was inside the power head swimming round and round. Next thing i see is two deep cuts in his body.

You will be missed....

do you still have your first fish ? or past expriences with a really old fish?

Why no set your mp10 to night mode rather than unplugging it

I had a blenny that would do the same thing, climb into the MP10 and chill in there. There were a couple of times I forgot to check before restarting but thankfully he was swimming around the tank.

Sorry for your loss!!

My first fish was a fox face rabbit I had for about 4 years till he decided my expensive zoas were yummy. No he lives in Lyndsy's (flash) fowlr. I just visit once and a while.

Mine are 2 percula clownfish. The little buggers have been through a few severe tank crashes and should have died quite a while ago. They are nasty little buggers that bite like H**L when I do anything in their tank. Even through all this they are still cute little buggers that definitely add to the tank.
