Went to Sacramento for grandaughter's 3rd b'day party. Had no intention of hitting a fish store--none near me so Sac is one place I go--but dau asks if I want to follow her and her SO to one of the stores as we are leaving. What could I say but heck yeah. Still didn't plan to buy. So what did I do?
I bought....
Hubby really like a coco worm with a red head. Bought.
I saw some anthias, better prices than the other store I often hit (and don't have a lot of success with fish, and got MV from). So I got 2 dispar and 2 purple queens. Love anthias. Think I will plan on a bunch of them in the 125 build. So colorful.
Dispars are out. And eating. At least one of them was. I'll feed again before I go to bed when I do the sun corals. I wanted anthias thinking they'd use more of the tank water column. Other fish all hang in front left leaving reast of tank fishless So where are the two dispars? Front left....
Queens aren't out yet.
I did not qt them. Last batch I did, I lost 3 of 4 and I think it was my qt tank, though I did bring the fish from that other place. Happened right after a water change so might have been that. Don't know. I test the QT tank yesterday in case we went fish shopping and it had low ammonia. Yet it has not had any fish in it for weeks. So because I don't have a lot of money in fish, the 2 darwins are the most expensive, and some of the other fish had survived MV, I put them in the display. In a couple weeks or less, I'll be taking that qt tank down and switching to my display refugium which is a 39 gal tall tank for my qt tank for both tanks, although this one is probably pretty much done for fish unless I add another bangaii or blenny.
coco worm is out. I moved it to a lower flow--was being blown like a tree in the wind. Will add some phyto to tank tonight
Oh, see one queen out! In back, not front. Purple queens being shy and the coco worm just went back in. Will add more pics
