Cade Chaos Grimoire

How have I never heard of this fish!! Are they known to eat aiptaisia? Or are they more hit or miss?
At 1st I was a little upset about you not liking the sticks, but the last sentence about liking your corals squishy was just too cute. never heard it said like that before

They're not super popular in the US trade yet, from what I've gathered. But they are consistent aiptasia eaters, I don't think I've seen a report of one not clearing a tank so far. Took mine about 2 weeks and then overnight half the tank was clear... few days later there wasn't a trace to be found.

What other fish do you have? Any aggression? Do you think a Desjardini sailfin will accept it?

No aggression so far, he's w/ a foxface, an assortment of large and small wrasse, a marine betta, and some assorted sized gobies.

My experience with tangs from the old tank were wildly varied. Some were great with everything, no matter what size - some were massive brats and would assault everyone. Part of the reason I'm on the fence about adding tangs after everyone gets moved back to the bigger tank.

What I have & have not accomplished today....:

I have not touched the rocks in the peninsula.
I have built a shopping cart of nearly $200 in unique gorgs and invertebrate for the cube.
I have not placed any orders.

 

[danieyella]

Got eggcrate trimmed down to functional sized pieces and sanded to protect wrasse. Baby steps....

 

[danieyella]

Been trying to think about a unique fish for the 5g.... Not 100% on adding something to it but maybe if I get a good enough suggestion...

Red manderen ?

I think a pistol and goby would be fun to watch

Pistols are absolutely out of the question. I had to rehome one from across the house in the old tank/house because I'm way too light a sleeper and it was waking me up never again

 

[fishguy242]

Black banded convict goby , had one ,really cool ,mostly hangs out upside down...

 

[danieyella]

Ohhhh I have an idea!

 

[fishguy242]

Do tell...

 

[LadyMac]

Yes do tell!

 

[danieyella]

Wednesday.... if it works out.

 

[danieyella]

Today I'll do a water change on the little guy to prep for an actual inhabitant

 

[fishguy242]

Panda goby ?...

 

[danieyella]

I'll say this: vision for the pico has been slowly changing. My old one was minimaxis and shrooms and zoas, I originally intended to just duplicate that here but I think this one is going to shift to macros and more natural looking chaos and I'll move the minimaxis to the peninsula once it's ready.

 

[danieyella]

Unfortunately my macro go-to got hit hard in the storm so I'm not sure when they'll be up and running again.

Got a little of the eggcrate into the peninsula and I'm waiting on it to clear back up so I can keep plugging along.

 

[danieyella]

Panda goby ?...

oh he's cool looking

 

[danieyella]

Well the tank is habitable. I was messing with rock and found another crab. Not sure what kind. Moved his little holey rock to the sump.
