ADDING FISH BACK AFTER 120 DAYS FALLOW

[LAReefer4Life]

I finally did it! I added 2 of 6 fish back into my aquarium after running 120 days fallow. I decided to add my little conspicuous and true personifier angelfish first and I am adding my gem tang, regal, and male scribbled angelfish next week. These two were in QT together and now demonstrate the closest bond. I added the personifier first and he landed on one side of my display and the conspicuous landed on the opposite side of the aquarium. They remained on their perspective sides for several hours before starting to explore the land. I wish I would have recorded the very moment they found one another, it was so amazing! They started swimming frantically around and circling around each other with excitement. Now they are attached at the hip.

Holy cow! 120 days must have seemed like forever. I ran mine fallow for 80 and it was awful. My blue and purple tangs were the only fish that survived and they are always together now. Pretty cool.

Thank you!

Congrats!!!

Just curious, why such a long fallow? I was under the assumption of 76 being pretty good for parasitic lifecycle interruption/eradication.

I added a new coral 4 weeks into fallow period because I just couldn’t pass it up. Fallow period had to start over.
