Close call....
Well I have been fighting with a Saddleback Clown trying to get him out of my display tank because he is really mean. Well I was able to get the female, but I have been chasing this one for about a month now, he chases everyone, including the percs that I got from another member of our club.
Well anyway, I came home from work tonight and found one of the clowns laying on the floor, he was already almost dried out but I noticed his tail move, so I held him in the sump for a little while with no results. I thought ok I will check on him in a little while and see if he improves and if he didn't I would have to have a funeral.
Well came back about 5 minutes later and there he was swimming around. Well I am going to leave him in the sump at least over night just to make sure he is ok, but so far so good.

Yes, one of the percs. This morning he is fine just like nothing ever happened. Well almost like nothing ever happened, he looks a little stiff swimming but he is swimming and eating so he should be ok.

Unfortunately I came home tonight and he is dead, and he was doing so good this morning. Probably all the stress and maybe the Saddleback was picking on him some more...  |

Sorry to hear about your loss. I wish you the best in catching that Saddleback and getting it out of the tank. Do you have a fish trap you could try?

No, I don't the LFS was suppose to be getting one in that he was going to loan out to club members but haven't heard if he got it yet. I keep trying every few days, but as soon as it sees the net he gone, and when the lights go out he is deep in bed in the Anemone....
