RIP SPARKY

[FREAKINRICAN69]

I’m sadden to say I just lost a marvelous spark of joy from my livestock due to my negligence of placing the cover back on my tank after doing some maintenance duties on my tank.
This fish had me so happy amongst all others that I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself. He was always photo bombing me when I tried taking pics of coral, cleaning the tank glass or looking around. He followed me everywhere.
I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that has gone through this but as you can see I take my losses very seriously. “Please keep your tank covered if you have jumpers”.
R.I.P. “Sparky” you will always be remembered.

Sorry I needed to vent! Thanks for reading and listening to my rants.
The last picture was where I found him smfh.

Having gone through this with Blennies, I feel your pain. My last blenny lasted less then 24 hours when he found the cutout for the return plumbing and jumped on top of my tank screen. The one before that jumped out (no screen, just a canopy with an open back) and I found him on the carpet. Sorry that Sparky is gone. Jeff

It's terrible. I lost a pair of diamond gobies before but this was the nail in the coffin for me. Although i hate losing anything period corals included. LOL
