Cool I see the Citron Goby behind the mag. How is she doing? For a second I thought you lost it. I'm sorry for the lost fishes. Hang in there Doni You sure have paid your dues. I haven't seen a tang like that or a Citron anywhere or the clowns with the unusual markings around here for sale. Do You shop around or is there a particular place where You find these cool fish? You did say the clowns were tank raised.

Hahaha~ Maybe later I will want to but not right now... I am really tired of testing :rolleyes: but I will take a few :woody::woody: :D


Dentoid - thank you for the encouragement :)

Cracker - "Amy" the citron goby is doing good. She does have a larg red area on her tummy and is breathing just a bit faster than normal. It looks like it might be an internal infection.
"Cupid" the copperband WAS showing a few red streaks on her dorsal fin but after I scrubbed the tank & all the PVC during a large water change it went away. I think for Amy's sake I will start a treatment of Myracyn two.
"Caesar" the small male picasso clown is breathing fast but it might be because he and the female "play" a lot. I am keeping a close eye on him.

Everyone is eating really well and I am adding Vita-Chem to their thawed food daily.

Too bad about your wrasse. I love the one I just got.

Actually, I think it will be the other way around -- you will want to QT EVERYTHING. You have put too much hard work into getting everyone shiny and clean. I still get paranoid about adding anything, even between my own tanks!

I did it! Yesterday, I removed 6 of the 9 fish from QT and placed them into the reef tank. The main display was fallow for a full 10 weeks.

The 3 fish remaining in the QT are the achilles, citron goby and the flame hawk. I am still deciding if I want to put them in the reef. IMO, they are the most likely to perch upon or run into the haddoni anemone.
