Well i guess it's about time for an update. Some good news and some bad.
I lost my Naso Tang in QT that was quickly becoming my favorite fish due to her awesome outgoing personality. This fish almost never hid, and on the last transfer was trying to eat some stirred up food pieces as i was catching her. Unfortunately, the heater failed and stuck on. I should have noticed because she seemed very subdued the next morning after the transfer. I found her dead that afternoon. I was scratching my head as to what could have happened to such a healthy fish so fast. When i went to move the sailfin, which thankfully was still doing ok, i checked temps between the two tanks and found the first to be at 87 degrees, the heater stuck on. It likely got warmer than that during the day. The QT system is in my garage where temps fluctuate a decent amount with outdoor temps. Its insulated so stays temperate enough, but a few degrees could have made the difference here.
Anyways, that behind me, the sailfin made it to the display and is looking comfy. The only fish that didnt appreciate her presence is my one-
eyed genicanthus angel. She stares her down with her good eye from time to time. It's pretty comical actually.
