      RIP my dear fish

      I just want to share my story
      😭
      Yesterday afternoon i fed my fish semi-frozen reef frenzy nano, end of story he choked with a small piece of crab of shrimp that she couldn’t swallow it, when I noticed it was too late, pulled out of his mouth but he die during last night. I noticed that that piece of meet had some king of hard shell and the was the piece got stuck in her mouth.
      Moral always try to dissolve frozen food because accidents like this one.

      Why does this always happen to the 'favorite' specimen(s)?

      Condolences on your lost friend.

      I would be cautious adding a "mate." He will likely defend his territory against outsiders no matter how pretty she looks. Also, any new larger fish you add might also be a male! The unmatched pair will likely have a struggle, and perhaps even a tense fin nipping battle before they work out their new arrangement.

      He may be perfectly happy without a new mate and any new competition for the grub you are feeding.

      I've never said it, but have heard it said that; "Pu$$y is overrated," and may not be necessary for the survivors happiness.

      Give it a week or so before you have another disaster to deal with.

      Poor little fish, that is terrible. I didn't know they could choke on food.

      That one getting its mouth glued shut is sad... poor fish, I know it is just a little fish, but I still feel bad. I don't want our little fish to suffer.
