Lawnmower Blenny is dead...
I have had my first tank casualty. That lawnmower blenny I bought on friday died last night. I noticed right after I bought him that his eyes were cloudy. Last night, he was running into things and I knew he was going to die. Im not really worried about that though, because this fish store that I buy things from, their fish are always dying and look like crap. I think I might buy from someone else from now on.
I cant send pictures because I still dont have my computer yet, so I drew what happened in paint.

OUCH, reefworried! I'm sorry that your LMBlennie died  But it's a crime that the store doesn't care any more for the lives of the critters in their store!

yeah, that was the only fish in there. I think I will wait a while and then go and pick up a bicolor blenny from this other store that is far away. i also might just wait and buy alot from saltwater fish.com . If you spend over 80 bucks, its free shipping

If that was your first fish let the clean up crew hang out for a month or so until you are sure that everything has cycled. For the fish to die so quickly means something is wrong. The lawnmower is a pretty hardy species. I lost a couple of fish although the test kit was okay starting out and as it all matures life gets easier.

Yeah, I think that is what I am going to do phishnoob. Besides, I don't have any more money because of my computer. SO I have to wait a while. Thanks for the feedback.

I agree with Sally. Funny picture. You should think about doing comics for us every once in a while! I love stuff like that.
Sorry to hear about Lenny. I hope his family likes Detroit. At least they'll be close to Cedar Point.

thank you all for your condolences. Although I didn't know lenny the blenny very well, for the short time I knew him, I knew that he was special. I know that there will never be a fish as good as lenny the blenny was, unless the fish is alot cheaper and actually survives in my tank, but I must move on. Trial and error.
