    i havent seen my blue gudgeon for about a week. :-/ he started having problems where i think he couldnt see because he was bumping into everything but if i turned the power heads off he was still able to find food. but now he hasnt shown himself at all.im beginning to wonder if he died under the rock somewhere. i had him about a year and a half now but was full grown when i got him so im wondering if he just hit old age. i keep looking for him but no signs :'(

    no he went from fine to not eating his color got a little faded. but then he started eating again had good appetite, gained color back, but bumped into everything. had to turn pwr heads off so he could find food had a healthy appetite. his eyes looked normal and everything. seemed like he had to feel around in the sand to find food
