About to add fish

[Runner]

Well, my travels, vacations, and work journeys are done for a time and my 25G cube is still stable. Time to add the fish. Any decent ones locally available? Or anybody wanting to sell off some of theirs? About to make a large mail-order, but thought I would check here first.

Aquatic Marine in Knoxville and Reef Chasers in Cleveland TN have some good fish. Reef Chasers has all their stock online so you can look before you buy.

They also have a QT section and I've had great luck with the one fish I got there.

Got a Pearly jawfish from Aquatic Marine, but he managed to cave in and bury himself 2 days later. :(

Just ordered a pack of zoanthid frags from Reef Chasers -- we shall see how that goes. Wanted to drive down yo Cleveland and look at their place, but have work to do. At least boxing/shipping only $30 for being only 80 miles away.

How did it turn out. The reef chasers?

Fairly well. Liked the way they packaged things. Everything looked healthy enough. And 7 of the 8 zoa frags have opened up and are flourishing. One small 5-polyp one that looks fresh cut and glued to frag plug not opened yet. But I still have hope.

Nice. All of mine are doing good.

Hope they open up.

Lost one zoa and another struggling, but rest ae flourishing. Ordered a large fish and coral order from Barrier Reef and tank is looking complete now. Stayed basic with 3 firefish and a royal gramma, but also added 2 hi-fin gobies and 2 randalli shrimp. I see from digging activity and a shrimp or goby every now and then, but they are tiny. At least one nest dug. Will post better pics when I get them.
