Unhappy Good bye Fat Tony-you will be missed.

Don't know what else to say. My 4 year old porc died today. He turned a funny color this morning and then stopped swimming. Sometimes I hate this hobby.

Thanks for understanding. Need some time off before I think about new fish but you never know.

I'm so sorry, losing a favourite is really hard. Non-reefers seldom understand, but to me it can be just like losing a cat, bird, dog or other traditional pet. Do you have any pictures of Tony?

Thanks for getting it..you are right, very few others understand. I have few pictures posted in my gallery, but I have tons on my computer. Still not ready to think about new fish but I am able to look at the tank again.

So I did it. I just picked up a baby porc from a fellow reefer. He's super cute and swimming around my QT. Bad news is he has a few ick spots. I'll be dropping the salinity over the next few days. Also I want to deworm him...just in case.. anyone know of the link from the pufferqueen about how to do it? I'll post pics soon.

Thanks ayrton! That was just what I needed. Little guy still looks great. Eating well too. I forgot exactly how hungry these guys are when they are small.
