    Well yesterday I went home and seen one of my favorite Peacocks was dead. I lost my 1x Blue Neon Peacock (undu Reef) Wild Caught. I don't know what it was if it was because it was wild caught and couldn't handle the different water conditions of if it was harassed or if it was because I didn't QT the other fish long enough I just added. I don't think is was harassment the tank is pretty calm for the most part. I have had this guy almost 6mo now and was one of my favorites and one of the most expensive I had. :rip1:

    Stinky.

    I know with turtles that are wild caught 9 times out of 10 they have some sort of health issue. Worms and modal protozoa are very common. Shipping stress oftentimes exacerbates the problem and by the time you get it from the pet store, they're already half way to being completely screwed.

    Even if you do everything right, sometimes they're just not able to bounce back. So totally don't beat yourself up over it. I'm sure you did the best you could do with him.
