Time for an update. I think second tank is like second child--you aren't as excited over certain milestones like: tank is over a month old. My other tank I was right here posting my month birthdays! Lots going on. First fish:
I must have a wrasse Jinx as I ordered 4 from Live Aquaria
The Lubbocks had/has a spinal injury. Still alive at 3 weeks. Only laying on sand but must be eating as hey, it's still alive. Not much hope here.
The McCoskers wrasse died. No reason but it never seemed as robust or healthy. Wasn't surprised. Got refunds on both even though the lubbocks is still alive as I don't expect it to live
Decided to move the Ruby and Blue head, along with 2 clowns to the display as the qt is getting icky with dinos. Doing 4 gal water changes every 2-3 days. I just don't have good luck with water quality in a qt.
Casualty #3: While netting the fish the Ruby head jumped and hit the rim (I think). I catch him and the rest, put in bucket and Ruby is all curled up. Da**. Back into the QT with the Lubbocks to see if he recovers.
So out of 3 wrasse, only the blue head made it to the display. Really bummed. Will get more but next fish need to be cheap chromis and maybe a damsel or 2 to go with the 1 I have.
My son in law has a powder blue tang for me. he needs qt as he doesn't qt fish. Has him in his frag tank until I can take him. He got that one and a brown powder and the 2 fight. So i have to decide how and when to get him. I don't have a lot or hardly any algae yet. Plus I want 2 other tangs so have to figure out how to do this. Get 2 others in and through qt, then do him or get him in and add some chromis and damsels to the qt with him--they will all have to go through copper as all tangs must do copper. I could add him to my 66 gal tank until I get 2 more tangs for other tank. Don't think I have ich in my tank but who knows. Would like a couple more batches of fish before tangs. Not sure how hard it will be to catch him in my 66. Or I just have 1 tang. Or take my changes on adding others after him. Fish drama and dilemas
