Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Blowing kisses! Tank is looking nice. How are the new ones after a day? Settling in?

They are coming out more and more. The clown seems to enjoy swimming with them.

That little guy is mean. I'll have to try a video one day.

 

[Crabby48]

Looks like he was giving you a kiss.

Only because I won't fit in his mouth.

I found a rogue shroom. It made it's way to the barren waste lands back aside of the tank. It's attached to a rock.

im back from work. Guess who got sent to the sump!! Yep, the yellow tang! plus ruined half my aquascape so i redid it and i dont like it. -_-

 

[sfin52]

That's no good. Throw some bacteria in the tank moving all that rock may cause a small ammonia spoke

shreck says hi

 

[sfin52]

my new zoa. They look more rust color than red ?

 

[sfin52]

Scurvy is the Wrasse Master.

Master may not be the word. Junkie might work though

I love Wrasses !! my tank is full of them !!
@Scurvy can you share your current wrasse list ?

Btw, I netted my bad crab and dropped him in the filter compartment.

We execute bad crab here, we try to make it as humanely as possible.

Vicious. I catch them, bag them in saltwater and put them in the freezer. Theoretically it should slow their metabolism and be painless. Perhaps a quick, accurate spike is more humane. Never asked their opinion on the subject. I have had dying livestock I euthanized in the same freezer manner.

 

[fabutahoun]

That crab in particular gave me a hard time, I have seen him sneaking and killing few wrasses at night when they were sleep, the last straw was when it was standing on top of my loripes acro and cutting all the tips.
I had to ask my friend to come over, we removed the entire left side aquascape so we can finally catch him !! took us all day !!

Thank you. I have read conflicting views that the 2 have to be "mated" there were 4 swimming together at the lfs. These 2 were definitely swimming together. I'm hoping.

They swim together at the LFS and on reefs. IN a tank you will be lucky to get a pair, and usually still there will be a random day they start fighting to the death. The only time I've seen it really work is the guy from reefbuilders, who had a small shoal of 5 who lived together for years. Similar to the BRS clownfish harem, I wonder if the answer is more rather than less.

Either way, name the one who wins the death match after @WallyB's hamster.

I'm prepared to re-home one. I'm wondering if I will see aggression first?
