Well, I jinxed it. I knew not to post that pic.
.
I woke up this morning and the spotband, Punctato, butterfly fish was dead. He wasn’t eating much, but I figured that was just the new climate. Otherwise he was acting normal, so I’m a little surprised, but not too much. He was shipped from CA and who knows what before that. So, it’s a dice role. He only lasted about 36 hours.
Auriga is eating well and acting normal.
I’m not sure if I’ll replace the Spotband. Really, it was a last second decision because it was either spend that $30 on shipping or spend it on him and get free shipping. But, once I saw him I really liked him. Very pretty fish.
I’ve never seen them in my LFS though. Maybe there is a reason for that. Maybe they die easy like my LFS told me the pearlscale does. I think I’ll ask my LFS what they think.
Anyway, disappointing, but it’s the way these things go sometimes.
