Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[JoshH]

True enough... I forgot Josh is at 110g now.

I’d expect nothing less!! My place was a disaster when upgrading too. Tanks and storage bins full of water in every nook an cranny to be found! It’s all worth it in the end!

Tank Upgrade
Powder Bathroom Reno
Laundry Reno
Utility room upgrades
Sump room construction
Nursery Reno....

Yeah the house looks like a bomb went off right now ;Bored ;Shifty

Lots to accomplish in 7 or 8 months.... However many you have left. I know you’ll knock it out of the park though!

Hey guys and gals. I'm back with a toadstool question. When I first got mine it was tiny and white. The bigger it gets, the browner it gets. What gives? Too much light? Too little? Not feeding enough? Missing something obviously. I'm just looking for the best place to start.

I did a bad thing. I impulse bought a neon dottyback for my 30 gallon with my ocellaris pair. LiveAquaria has them listed as semi aggressive and my clowns, although very passive, are really big. My female is about 4 inches, so I thought it wouldn't be an issue. But now I'm finding articles saying they're more than semi aggressive. Some say outright murderous. How bad have I messed up?

I have never had a dottyback in all my years reefing due to their aggression issues.
... I have done loads of reading, neons seem to be more reef friendly.
..... my lfs has one I have been watching! ;)

Thanks. I'll keep a close eye on the tank for the next few weeks and take it back if I have to. Right now it's freaked out and hiding. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

[fishguy242]

hope all works out .or come back we will help you get him out :)

I hate to bring bad news, but my neon dottyback was a terror and began killing stuff within 3 days. If you can, catch it now. Try a trap if you need to. Mine killed a firefish and almost killed my urchin before I got it out. I would argue that anyone who says they’re reef safe or friendly has never had one. Again, sorry for the bad news:(

I'll take him back tomorrow. I'm really surprised but my female ocellaris isn't happy. She won't let him come out of the rockwork. I've had this pair over 3 years, with multiple fish, and never had any aggressive behavior but now she's being a turd.

 

[fishguy242]

good for her!!! yes take him back they are mean and nasty wrasses ;)
