Thanks Chrissie, he's my baby. They have the greatest personality of any wrasse Ive had, so curious and friendly. He seems to be growing really fast too.

Thanks Marvin, She is huge and is why I was afraid to add the little phantom. Im kinda thinking they will never bond like a younger pair, maybe she's past that point in her life. Either way she's been with me so long I wouldn't dream of getting rid of her and as long as she lets him hang out with her thats good enough for me. She was a great egg layer for a while, I wish I could've tried to raise a clutch. I would like to add a pair of WW to the other side of the tank but Im not sure she would allow it. I should be getting something you'll like this week sometime, hopefully.

Beautiful update!

Thanks Rev, a few fish are coming out of QT today, maybe Ill have another little update tonight or tomorrow.

I love it, looking great!

Thanks Chris, things are doing pretty well. I just wish I could beat this dang bubble algae.

No pics yet but the kuiters leopard is in the DT and doing well along with the 2 surviving cardinals. The two little circus gobies went in but wont come out of the acclimation box on there own, Ill have to make them get out sometime today.

Here is what I have in the QT right now. The Kuiteri, Threadfin Cardinals and Circus gobies are all doing really well in the DT.

Nice, what type of butterfly is that? Is it reef safe?

 

[ReefPops]

Loving the butterfly and wrasse. Both nice additions.

It a Mitratus butterfly, it's kinda reef safe. Hopefully he'll behave :), he's already wiped all the aptasia out of my QT.

Thanks Chrissie, they all came in really healthy. The butterfly is one of he most voracious eaters I've ever head.

Nice additions! How long before they go in the tank? What are the specs of the QT tank?

Thanks Marvin
I usually QT 5 or 6 weeks assuming the fish eat well and act perfectly normal but if I see any head shaking, flashing or scratching it can go double that or even longer until I feel completely confident. My current QT is a 20L but I hope to jump up to a 40b eventually if I ever get my little room built in the garage for QT and water station.

Thank you Zibba, all is well, busy but well. You ready for Summer again?

Awesome fish!

Thanks Rev, how are you buddy.

Had a scare last night. The fish in QT have been really well so I decided it was time to do a prazi treatment. I go in to check the tank about an hour later and the Mitratus is breathing really hard and looking stressed. The wrasses seemed to be fine. This is the first time I have ever had a fish react prazi this way. I added an air pump and some fresh carbon and he seemed better this morning, I'll report back after work, hopefully he'll be fine.
