My Taiwan Reef Died:

malawi4me2 · 03-04-2005, 07:28 AM

My dominant Protomelas fenestratus "Taiwan Reef" died this morning.

He was about 5.5" long, and I'd had him for about 2 years. He was my favorite fish. For a few days, he had been more reclusive than usual, and yesterday he was showing dark coloration and verticle bars, and not eating. He was alive when I got up this morning, but about thirty minutes later he was dead.

I'm preparing to have a necropsy performed, so I'll post the results when I get them.

Here's a pic of him:

Whats a necropsy?

It's an autopsy. We only use the word autopsy when referring to necropsies on humans.
