Anyway, I won't have that problem again. |
Well I went to top off the tank. I dumped about 5 gallons of fresh water down the overflow (to mix in the sump before it goes back to the tank) and who do I see in the sump? The "dead" anthias. But he wasn't dead! In my sump I have 2 inlets for the circulatory pumps. Only one is being used so the other is capped on the outside. But there is about 5 inches of "tube" outside of the sump that a fish could swim in. I thought this might be possible but thought it wasn't likely. Well, it is likely and it is possible and this is where the anthias lives. Now I have to cap this and pull the fish out of the sump. I hope he will be okay with the others.
BTW, the queens are even more active now. I see them about 50% of the time.
