So sorry Wes, that is the worst! Have everyone stay hydrated and hopefully it’s a 24hr thing.
Looks that way, some of the kids are over it already. We've been taking turns looking out for each other.
 
Oh, bad news guys. My red lipped blenny, whom I strongly disliked, swam straight into my mp40. He's gone and my mp40 wasnt strapped to the tank so it fell off the tank and now its kinda noisy... not terrible. Hoping it settles in and stops 🤞
 
Happy 4th of July. Hope y'all are all doing well! LFS has a white tail bristletooth coming in for me!
Good to see you Cam. Happy 4th bud
 
so sorry wes. thats really rough when its that big of a family. feels like youre never going to get done! we just got done with a weird stomach bug too. hope you all are full steam ahead soon!
 
@00W I promise I'm not sharing this to rub it in, i was about to post this in general then saw your post!
I got one of those copperbands that eats aptasia, my 15 or so I had are gone!
Hi Mike good to see you!
Wish I could have one, little timid for my tank and it'd probably be as big as a basketball in a day or so 😉

I was surprised, I have a few fish that are kinda jerks, and they just ignore him. Including my spawning clowns! That said, with your aptasia problem, he probably would outgrow your tank 😂
