00W's AIO Smorgasbord

They sounds pretty good. Rather than a thin tortilla, you get it on that thicker pita bread.

My thinking exactly. May pick some stuff up and give it a try sometime.

Yep that's a ton!

Tom, I must have missed that one when I was trying to catch up this morning. I'm sorry to hear that. Makes me wonder why the wrasse was hiding though.
I wish CBBs weren't so difficult.

Makes me wonder why the wrasse was hiding though.

Me too. I figured it was the acclimation box at first. Then I began to wonder after four days. The fact that it never came out while the CBB was in the tank has me curious. I've never had wrasses and CBBs at the same time before but the Possum didn't seem fazed by it. Weird, that's what makes reef tanks so interesting. One of the things with CBBs, at least for me, is they don't seem to handle stress well until they've been in a tank a few months. Don't know, it was definitely eating, never flashed or dove, didn't surface, breath fast, nothing. It acted 100% normal. Then it was gone.

Was it a larger specimen or a smaller one? I wonder if the juveniles fare better

Someone ask me a question!

Do you like piña coladas, getting caught in the rain?

 

[kevgib67]

I thought it was going to be my 7500 post. But.... my math skills aren't quite mathing today!

Public schools?

I posted that thinking I was at 7,499.... little did I realize that I was at 7,449.

Public schools?

Apparently so my friend. Does this mean..... excommunicado?

 

[kevgib67]

I hear that stoves, refrigerators and ac use some electricity, just offering options.

Her husband and son use a lot of electricity.

I'd say late juvenile. It was larger than a lot of the juveniles I've seen but smaller than a lot of the adult ones that come in. I may try again with a smaller juvenile.

According to the LFS, the CBB had been in their tank about two weeks. Maybe true, maybe not. They put dates on the stickers for a lot of their stock but none of the four CBBs had dates so taking their word for their memory of when it was obtained.

I was trying to avoid juveniles because, at least in the old days, the way they collected juvenile butterflys and angels was a low dose cyanide dump near a schooling site. They'd live a week, maybe a month or even two and then just die, often with visible internal hemorrhaging. They would usually start to flash or gasp, etc. a few days before they passed though so I'm skeptical that was the issue here.

Well, don't know what happened but the CBB was dead this morning. It was eating fine, didn't show any signs of distress. wasn't being picked on in fact the Bristletooth and Foxface were hanging with it. I looked it over and see no signs of internal bleeding, parasites or bullying.

To make it weirder, the Yellow Wrasse went into hiding as soon as I added the CBB to the acclimation box (last Friday) and never came out. I even checked around to make sure it hadn't jumped yesterday. After I removed the body today I had to go over to the parish for a while. When I came home the Yellow Wrasse was out and looking for grub.

May try again, may not.

So, sorry Tom, that always sucks especially when it’s unexpected and you can’t find a reason to.

Ya, ours jumped up to about that and the Mrs isn’t happy. We need to bring back the coal plants.

I've been watching the ones at Dr. Reef's. They are actually having a black friday sale with 10% off.

I would like to get two small ones and take a chance at getting a pair. Odds may not be in my favor, but it's worth a shot and if they both survive, I can always sell one orrr..... see how it goes!
