Stripe is no more...

[Reptoreef]

When Annie and I were going over our fishie's names, I realized that Stripe, our 6 line wrasse is no where to be seen... I'm sure he jumped tank(kitty food) or got caught in a tight place(critter food). Either way, he was a character and going to be hard to replace... so th the LFS I go :-D

Feel bad for your critter, but glad to see we aren't the only ones who name all of our critters, heartbreaking when you do a daily inventory and can't locate one sometimes.

[Reptoreef]

Yep... he was a fave... guess they all are, though...

When our Scooter Blenney died, it was like loosing a little friend. He was so cute and had such a good personality! We'll get another but I don't know if we'll ever get one marked so pretty and wearing lipstick!! lol

[Reptoreef]

Some say 'it's just a fish'... guess they really need to spend a few really watching each one's diff personality and behavior to get the appreciation.

I'm glad someone else admits it to. We talk for our fish and everything....and we're adults! hah!!

My wife has taken to naming the fish in my tank...Nemo (obviously), a Green Chromis named Scott, Priscilla (Golden Angel), James (Flame Angel, after our son), Captain Jack (Bicolor Blennie), Craig (Purple Firefish, named after my LFS boss). A couple others she hasn't gotten around to naming: the Royal Gramma, a Red Spotted Blennie, my Six Line Wrasse and my latest addition (just got it yesterday); a Clown Tang.

Sorry to hear about your six line...

Dakar,
You mentioned your yellow tang formerly Ms.Tangy Sea Cow...

You'll be happy to know that her new fabulous name is .*drum roll..."
" LOLA "......*music* Lola, she was a show girl...lol
She dances around for my son everyday after lunch.

She is bright, Fat, and Happy.....glad we could give her a new home.

Now that is the kind of story we enjoy hearing back! Glad she is doing so well, and entertaining your boy too! How she could have gotten any fatter is beyond me, she was so well deserving of her previous title, she must be ready to pop. :)

Just don't bother trying to take any pictures of your reef unless you want her in them.
