Well, now we can rule out voltage and params. I doubt acclimation would have stressed it, as it wouldnt have been eating. I guess one of your fish didnt like him  Can you list your fish for us? | |

The main part of this, other than me being out 18 bucks and a fish!
Thats the first fish in 3 tanks, my whole life, that I've lost 
My first tank was a 55, great tank, had to sell it though because I didn't have money enough to pay the power bill. My 2nd tank, which he jumped from, is a 75g. And I have a new 29 in my bedroom here, still working on it, but it's looking good. | |

Maybe those Damsels? Im also working on a tank for my bedroom  its a 20, but the whole thing is DIY except for the tank itself, even the filter is DIY! So far it looks pretty cool  Once again, sorry for your loss, and i hope your next is rather a success story | |

They are only say an inch in length tops. No aggression that I saw from them at the time but, that story could have easily changed over night, I do agree with that.
Thanks for the input everyone! I'm gonna buy me some plastic covers for those gaps around my equipment, I am also gonna set up a fuge tank as well! | |
