00W's AIO Smorgasbord

I haven’t seen her in about an hour, normal?

Totally normal. Probably went right into the sand and will hang out there until she is comfortable coming out to have a look around and eat. If it is a new wrasse from overseas, it might also have "jet lag" and take a while to get onto your LED light schedule. Once they are on schedule, they will go to sleep and wake up at nearly the exact same time every day.

Thanks @JoJosReef , I was told by the owner she had been there for 3-4 weeks. She is probably enjoying my deep sand bed unlike what she had been in.

@WalkerLovesTheOcean how did the pups do while you were gone. I bet they did a little dance when you walked through that door.

They're doing good from what I heard. A family brought then down to Jersey. He's down there because my grandfather has gone very downhill.

So sorry about your grandfather Walker. How is your friend recovering? This has been a tough year for you!

Good morning Remi ( for now on you’ll be known as shrimp, read the thread.)

I'll be honest, I thought you were talking about your tailspot blenny at first, but I figured it out.

I usually check a day or two before and make any necessary adjustments to the new batch of water I’m mixing up. I do weekly water changes.

 

[smitten with ocean life]

interesting. what do you adjust? i thought you can only adjust the salinity on the new water

Sorry to hear that about your grandfather

Salinity but also add magnesium or calcium if either are below my target.

I went back by my lfs to pick up some yellow neocardina shrimp they had ordered for my freshwater tank and they have a twinspot goby but I resisted the temptation...

She's under the sand. May stay there for days or weeks until she's comfortable.
