I usually go straight to the kitchen when I get home from work. Eat watch the news and just before the tank light goes out I stand in front of the tank. I did just that, tonight I found my Scotts fairy wrasse on top of the net all dried up. So bummed out and very upset to find him dead. I also found a large branch of the green acro broken! There's an evil fish in my tank and I know exactly which one it is.

thanks fellas. He was pretty big and fat, he must have been going pretty quick in order for him to get through the netting.

Sorry to hear that bad news Arnel and Eric. Always sucks to lose any fish but especially one that's been with you a good while.

thanks again fellas. the evil fish is the powder blue this guys is more evil than the six line wrasse i used to have. I took him out once before for the very same reason the wrasse jump out. I should have gotten rid of him then, but I wanted to give him another chance. So I move him in another tank, he was there for two months until I move him back in the display last weekend. Caugh him last night and placed him back in the other tank with the sohol so he can get his arsh kicking.

My only guess would be he got spook and went straight up through the net. I have another wrasse that's slightly smaller than this, I witness him went through the net and to the back of the tank. I wasn't home when this happen, wife and kids didn't notice it either.
