What happend to this fish is a story we have all heard many times and at the risk of making myself look dumb here is the story.

The second fish ever bought along with a 1-1/2" Maxima. Tank 2 months old. Did not QT either of these EVEN THOUGH I HAD A QT SET UP!!! Hawk fish was belly up the next am and the clam (paid $100, yeah ripped of by the LFS) lasted I think it was 6 days before it shriveled up and died. I was like a lot of people out there bought on impulse and didnt QT. The cost was $150 in one shot for not researching the critters, not waiting for my tank to catch up to my desires and possibly not using a QT.

Sorry Becky if this post strays from the pics of sic critters but its along the same lines. I hope this doesnt ruin Beckys thread with a bunch of us just yacking about sick animals. That was not the purpose for the thread. Becky, go ahead and remove this post if it jeprodises your intentions for your thread.
