RIP my Royal Gramma
I left for work today at 12:45pm est time and didnt get home until 9pm est time. During this time my Royal Gramma (Gigi) died 
May she RIP, she was a unique royal gramma she never was aggressive to others would eat anything i added to the tank. She would always stick around the left side of my tank until it was feeding time. When feeding she would let others eat first and then come out to eat she was very shy which is unusual for a gramma. She was one of a kind.
I tested my water i got-
Am-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-10 (Little high maybe from the dead fish all day)
Ca-425
dKH-9.6
pH-8.36
Her body was not much left after the hermits found it laying on the bottom

As you can see from the pics nothing like spots on her body just missing fins now. That was from the hermits eating them when i found her tonight. She was eating healthy and nice and fat.

Thanks,
I am thinking it was just old age for her. She was 2 years old when i got her and i am not sure how old before that.
