Thanks M&T. Hopefully he will behave. There was two flames in the store and I was so tempted to bring them both home but one looked like it had been beat up a little which led me to believe they didn't get along as well as the LFS said. I would really like to try and pair him up with one of those hybrids LADD has had lately. What do you think? The Labouti has gotta be about the most energetic fish Ive ever had. Both settled into the QT and are eating really well.

It would be really cool to pair up your Flame Angel with one of the hybrids from LA DD. We had a Flame for 8 years and loved that fish. Maybe one day we'll add another one. Glad to hear both fish are doing well in QT.

Thanks Justin, If your in the market check out the amazing Labouti at GQ fish, I was wishing I would have waited. Check out the Local club forum on R2R here and please tell your friends Tucson Reef Club (TRC)

Thanks skinz, he's my baby. I feed him by hand everyday, he's such a cool fish personality wise too.

I have some sad news. I came home from work last night and found the little flame Angel dead. The labouti is doing great still, I have no idea what could of happened with him. He was fine the day before and ate everything in sight with no signs of disease. I talk to the LFS and they said the other two that they sold died as well. Maybe it was a collection issue, never know I guess.

Sorry to hear your loss Brett...it's always tough to lose a fish. I agree it's most likely a collection issue...flames can be hit or miss.

Aquaph8 · Dec 17, 2011

Thanks Jim, yeah I hate losing fish, especially when they seem to be doing so well.

Mike&Terry · Dec 17, 2011

Brett, so sorry to hear about the Flame Angel... He really did look healthy.

Aquaph8 · Dec 17, 2011

Thanks M&T, I just went and looked at a Lenardi wrasse but couldn't do it. I want to though.

Mike&Terry · Dec 17, 2011

They are gorgeous wrasses... would love to have one.

I know, me too but its so expensive. It tough cause you dont see fish like this locally very often.

Merry Christmas to you too!

Little Update: Whats in the QT

Potters Leopard:

This guy eats when I can catch him out of the sand but has his days and nights so messed up that Im having a hard time catching him awake. I really dont think he's coming out more than a few hours a day at this point either. Im hoping for the best with this guy, hopefully he'll get used to me a little more and want to eat and stay out. One of his eyes are a bit cloudy, so that something Ill have to keep an eye on. Im not really sure about treating leopard with meds and how they'll react at this point. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Red Sea Eight Line Flasher wrasse:

This guy just came in yesterday cause the first one was DOA. So far he's really shy but is coming around better and better. He ate a little for me today too. I think in the next couple days he'll be feeling much better after some long stressful trips. Ill get some pics once they settle in a bit more.
