well guys its been a long 20+ hours for me...:(
ive been babysitting this guy through the course of the day yesturday and all nite... :(

i came home from work yesturday to find this guy very lacadasial and swimming eraticly... he was the best out of my occelly boys and also known as the runt of the pack!!! the past couple of days he was confronted by my OrinO that was delivering quite a couple of blows.. which i didnt think it was something to worry about... (it happens all the time with just a dedicated pea tank...) i think the orino got the best of him:cry:

i took him out of the big bot tank and quarantined him for a while in my sump... and it looked worse and worse every hour:( ( dont wanna describe what he was going through, but ill make my point very simple... HE HAD NO BALANCE:cry:) after about six hours he snapped out of it and was lookin good... but obviously not as great as i thought...:(
i took a gamble to throw him back in the tank because he had not that much room of swimming space in my sump, so i fiured he need some freedom:).. which he was swimming very good and i actually thought he was going to make it....:)
until the territorial wars began.... end the story short... my kelberi delivered a crucial blow.. that he could not recover from:cry::cry::cry:
back in the sump he went and hourly checks thru the nite... and 5am this morning the breathing stopped:cry::cry::cry:......

his name was (PIMPIN) because of his distinct markings and patterns i have never seen in a ocellaris:cry::cry::cry:

good bye PIMPIN i will forever MISS YOU:cry::cry::(:(:cry::cry:

here are some memmories of when he was with me... from april. 07, till today 2/4/09 5am....
