"How was your day Simon?"

Go away!

"Oh!"

The blond naso has the entire fish population on edge, it has to go! Check.
The black has been chased so much over the past few days it is stressing everyone.
... standard solution, isolate the aggressive fish in the cube for a time out.
Problem, the black naso owns the cube so the blond spends very little time in there!

I moved a piece of rock and placed a net in earlier blocking it's bolt hole and flashed a net at it twice, it calmed down for about an hour and was off again.

Plan B!
The black is now isolated in the cube and will just chill.
... the only other fish isolated with it is the flame angel, you have no idea how happy this makes me! :)
I watched the flame angel properly square off to the blond naso about 2 hours ago, she goes stir crazy if she doesn't have access to both ends but does prefer the cube!
The blond will seriously get some when the flame gets allowed back in to the display! ;)
The black will just chill! :)

The blond is isolated in the display with the two scopas, fox face and cherub, it should get a really hard time as it has upset them all.

It is stressing me out, that doesn't work for me!
I hate stress perhaps re-homing the blonde naso?

Basslet has been removed from the puddle, it was in amongst the caulerpa against the glass and not moving this morning, it's tail is badly damaged!
It is not breathing hard and it's gills are still red but can't right itself properly, it is moving a bit but I think it is too stressed to recover.

Basslet died, black naso isolated again in the cube, I need to catch it, my lfs is going to look after it, so the blond will go in the cube and I can isolate it and trap it out before returning the black.
I suck!

I have calmed down, time to gather my thoughts.

So the fish trap is in in the cube end, black naso is in there.
Swim through hole in the picture, the fish trap is tight to the hole the other side, no fish can leave the display!
The only way for a fish in the cube to see into the display is to go in the trap, hopefully the black will look tomorrow.
This is where the setosa is going to go but 2 inches to the right. ;)

As far as I remember this was my gift to me when I got some redundancy money.
I managed to bleach that top edge and the lemon peel had most of the mouths.
There was some die back along that top edge as well, it was stung just before I got it.
It is like a pastel rainbow and one or two of the mouths are colouring up as well. :)

Thanks. :)

I could have caught the cherub about 20 times this morning and the tang once.
I didn't lift the trigger!
It had it's stressed colours on and if I had let the door go it would have been bouncing off the walls, it's only coming out so I can catch the blond, it will be coming back!

As I was typing the above I had a thought and trapped the cherub, I turned the trap around to face the swim through and opened the door, cherub swam out.
Why catch the black?!
The flame angel and blond have spent a lot of time at the swim through looking into the cube through the trap, I could have caught the flame twice already! ;)
