Oops ;) , latz inbound

I've been keeping my eye out for a pair of Latz clowns for a while. I found a pair locally, but they jumped from their acclimation box and were mugged by the seller's larger fish. I was disappointed, but at least it was before any funds were exchanged. More recently, Divers Den had a pair listed, then marked them down, then a little more. @ca1ore mentioned a discount code that put them just a hair over my budget... Aww, heck, I'm not going to quibble over $20, but it's still going to cost me an additional decent bottle of wine for my wife. She's going to be a little mad because I ordered the fish at the same time as I restocked on food. Some fresh @ReefFrenzy and Fertility Frenzy every other day, plus NLS pellets dropped 8 times daily should keep these in top shape. Larry will probably see me updating on the FB SEPA forum a bit.

Now, what to do with the tomato clowns I got a few weeks back since I wasn't having any luck finding Latz... I suppose the Latz can stay in my ~40 gallon fuge until they get some size on them. Then I will probably look to move the tomatoes or set up a dedicated tank for the Latz.

Good luck with the new pair!

These tiny little buggers are in the 10 gallon QT. Here’s to raising these to maturity!

I hope they do well and that you would update this thread for a long time to come. I’m curious to see how they develop in size and color.

Unfortunately, the smaller one passed the afternoon it came in. They were both breathing heavily, but the larger one has begun eating LRS.

The surviving Latz is looking better and better every day and attacks food the moment it hits the water. It is really curious and goes straight to the glass whenever I approach.
