Great score!

Thanks! Frank DEFINITELY took care of me. He and @sfin52 are sneaky fellas lol

@fishguy242, should the torch always be in kind of a shady spot, or is that just to get it used to the lighting?

 

[fishguy242]

just to get used to lights :) couple days

clown update??

 

[Erin O]

clown update??

Nothing new. I offered food, but she wasn't interested. At this point, I figure it's pretty much out of my hands, aside from doing water changes and hoping for the best

I hope so. She's already pretty important to us. I'm having a hard time picturing the 75 without her

Can you put the new clown in Dark? Sorry you lost one its highly unusual ive never lost a clown.
I've found most sketchy stressed out fish will chill out and acclimate after a day or 2 in the dark.

She's not completely dark (ambient light), but I haven't turned the light on. I can throw a blanket or towel over the tank. I'm willing to try anything

Still no change, she's still laying on the bottom. She's not on her side all the time, at least. She hasn't moved much from where she was when I went to bed last night

 

[fishguy242]

turn the lights on!!wait ten,try flake,let me know :)

She is alone for the first time in a long time, disoriented, and had a rough shipping.... im sure she just needs some TLC. @Erin O SHE IS IN GOOD HANDS. Just remember sometimes its ok to be a little hands off and let her do it in her own time. :)

 

[Crabby48]

Giving her space may help. I try to not let new comers see me much.

 

[Erin O]

She's swimming! Hoping I'm not jinxing her progress by posting her name, but everyone, meet Hope ;Joyful

 

[fishguy242]

she looks great!!! 'hope" your stuck with HOPE,for a long....time :)

75 is scrubbed and ready for the next step! Now, if only my husband can get the stand done (apparently, my design is a pain in the ****; according to him, at least :rolleyes:). I haven't heard back from TBS as to wait time, but another thread started this past week said that it was 4-6 weeks. I can deal with that. That'll give Rod the time he needs to get the stand figured out lol

She looking good. I bet she will be eating by the end of the day. If you you can get fresh clams a couple of small pieces.

Fresh clam is like crack to fish. Even the goby/pistol shrimp comes to the front glass looking to be fed from a long coral feeder.

 

[fishguy242]

did she eat yet??how about open coral pic's ;)
