Hint: It was on DD tonight for about 30 seconds :)

I've put a TON of work into the tank since I got ich. Went through hypo-salintiy and I'm finally back in it. Tank has been running at 1.023 for about a week now and hasn't looked better.

I requested it to be shipped Wednesday for Thursday delivery. He'll go in the QT for a while to ensure a peaceful environment. Since he's from DD, he likely won't stay in there for about a week or two.
 
Very nice and congrats on the new addition and that things are getting back on track for your tank. Will have to post pictures of your new guy when you get him in.
 
Nice. Achilles juvenile ????

Ding Ding Ding....we have a winner :) What do we have for him Johnny? hehe

Thanks, I'm very excited. I knew a butterfly was a must get after I lost my Spotfin Butterfly from the ich breakout. He was very personable and followed me around the tank. I hope this guy has the same great personality.
 
Beautiful looking fish :bigsmile:

Thanks. I almost bought one this weekend, but held out to see what would be on DD. As soon as I saw that this guy was included I knew I was going to be hitting refresh on DD at 6pm, haha.

I really wish I got that Labouti they had on their too, he was stunning.
 
Thanks Marvin. Doing multiple water changes on the QT tank to make sure its nice and clean, haha
 
Beautiful addition! Glad to see you back on track Bryan!
 
Thanks Scott. You can probably tell I'm excited considering my activity on the forums again, haha. I'm back to normal :)
 
Ugh...well...LiveAquaria shipped today for delivery tomorrow even though I requested to ship Wednesday. Now I gotta hurry and get these three wrasses out of the tank, haha.

On the plus side, we'll have pics tomorrow, haha

I knew it was the Mitratus after the first post. You snagged that sucker up fast too. One of my all time favorites, congrats.
 
Congrats Brian! :bigsmile:

Thanks man, they've been on list for a while now.

Haha, yeah, I bought him very fast. I was refreshing the DD fish page and was signed in and everything.
