[i cant think]

If only I had the cash right now. One of my LFS just got this guy in. Maybe he'll still be there in a few weeks when my tuition refund comes through.

any chance of reserving it till then?

Thought about it, but it'll probably still be there. Most people around here don't drop the big $$$$ on fish.

Nice! Is your rockwork well secured? They call this wrasse "rockmover" for a reason ;)

Yup for the most part, most of my rockwork are large pieces, so he cant move much. I have a heck of a time with some of my large turbos, so Im used to a random coral being moved.

Oh… You just wait and you’ll be saying MANY words at that wrasse.

I still have plans for a future tank to have a Jade, Rockmover, and a Sea grass wrasses. That’s just the sand sleepers! I am determined to keep my Jade until he either outgrows the tank or becomes overly aggressive.

Im waiting on it to turn on me at some point! Then the swearing and partial tank breakdown for capture will happen, lol.

I had a sea grass in a previous tank. Its honestly a fish only a mother could love, lol

See grass is just green but when you mix it to a wrasse it looks beautiful (Sea what I did there ;))

Yes. My pintail used to do that. She looks healthy just hanging out in there. I have a nice ClearView lid but there is still a small gap.

Crazy. I wouldn’t enjoy that one bit.

Likewise, had my previous Pintail go into the overflow 3 different times. Added a replacement with the dragon wrasse today, da*n Pintail is already mia.

 

[Tcook]

It's a total pita to retrieve. I need to glue a 3/8" piece of acrylic along the top of the weirs.

Edit: Double post!

 

[Lbrdsoxfan]

Found the replacement pintail this morning, he was our for feeding time with the rest which was a relief after this near disaster!
