R.I.P. Pandora (1 Viewer)

Well, it was a very sad morning at the Arnold household . As I went about feeding my tanks this morning I noticed that my male Kuda (Epimetheus) was acting "off" and didn't swim up to the dish- even though he was hitched right below it. Then I noticed that his mate Pandora was nowhere to be found. She is usually waiting at the dish in the morning, so I immediately knew this wasn't good. As I scoured the tank for her I saw her little head in the very back. It appears as if she was crushed/ pinned between a rock and the back of the tank sometime overnight or early this morning. As I removed her from the tank, poor Epimetheus swam up to check on her. He has spent the rest of the day in seclusion.

Sorry to hear Candace, I hate when things like this happen. I lost my beautiful flag fin a weeks back, that darn fish jumped on top of the mesh!

Thanks guys. It's just such a surprise when everything is fine and then suddenly it isn't. She was my first seahorse (got her at the MARSH holiday party a few years ago). Now, I guess I will focus on getting her mate to eat again.

I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't know seahorses mourned their mates - very interesting and sad.

So sorry Candace. Seahorse deaths were much sadder than any other fish deaths I've had. Such wonderful animals.
