Lost my 3rd favorite fish last night

[EricTheRed]

My Pearlscale Butterfly was swiming and eating just fine yesterday. Then, when I went to bed I saw him breathing very fast and laying on the sandbed....right next to my dwarf lionfish !!! Coincidence, I think not...The lion is new and I think the Pearlscale was a bit to inquisitive

Let's hope my next Pearlscale will be a little brighter...he arrives tomorrow with a new b&w heniochus

BTW...this may seem a bit dimented, but everytime a fish dies and I scoop it out of the tank I always get a craving for sushi.....Sushi Station here I come !!!

They have one at liveaquaria right now.

And you made the right choice with the fuzzy dwarf

That's very odd becasue I checked LA and they didn't have any. I just checked again and still don't see one...?

It says in stock. I just typed in pearlscale butterfly into the search bar. Maybe it's not the right one?

That is not the correct fish. That fish is aka a Crowned Pearlyscale which is not the same as a Pearlscale...similar but not the same...

The Pearlscale is much nicer IMO....http://www.petco.com/product/108917/Pearlscale-Butterfly.aspx

Ah, gotcha. Sorry about that!

Huge difference!! I see why it was your favorite.

3rd favorite, behind my Australian Harlequin Tusk and my Regal Angel. I've never seen a Pearlscale in a LFS, not sure why. They are very hardy, peaceful and very good looking. Not reef safe, but still...

Awww sorry to hear about that Eric...always a bummer losing fish.
