The mystery of the Memorial Day Tomini Tang...

[Bkatz1]

We came home from our lake house this afternoon to find our Tomini Tang finless, dead, and stuck to our mp40. This fish was in perfect health leaving Friday. 3 years established in the tank, fat, happy, and as far as I've always seen, un-bullied. The missinging top and bottom fins (that should be orange, were stripped to spines. Do you think this fish was bullied (in 48 hours) to death?

All other fish acting normal, no signs of disease or infection. Everyone eating and water parameters in check. Only change in the last 2 weeks was I had started to dose NOPOX. Let's hear everyone's theories...

Tomini got high on NOPox and drifted onto the MP40 and became stuck there. The other fishes tried pulling it off by the orange fins but the Tomini wouldn't budge.

Sometimes things die without warning or an explanation.

How big was the tomini when you got him? It could’ve been old age and the CUC started to munch on the body.

That’s my thoughts it has died then other fish have a nibble and also clean up crew . I had a fish die and before I seen it the others had eaten some of it

The Tomini was 4" and I figured the fin loss must have been from the other fish. No CUC in thos tank. FOWLR- by the time I got him his fins were so gone he looked like a Naso tang. I'm still kicking myself for not taking a picture.
