Time for an update, I've got some good news and some very bad news as well unfortunately.
Bad news, found the blueline on the floor sunday morning. I had done a WC late saturday night and forgot to shut the lid. :headwally:
I'm pretty bummed about this, the fish was eating well and there is no reason it shouldn't have been in my DT in the next month. I'm definintely going to try for another in the near future, i'm really upset with myself that I left that lid open.
Now for the better news. The three remaining fish in my QT are doing well. the bigger borb appears to have less of the head down swimming issue that was going on and all the fish eat LRS foods readily.
I moved the Altivelis, multifasciatus and Mr. Puff back into the DT. The altivelis had only been eating PE Mysis and it was my hope that by adding it to the DT it would start eating a better variety of foods (this happened with my octofasciatus).
I'm happy to say that it has indeed started eating the LRS foods and I expect it to continue to put on the weight. This is a very intersting fish, it's swimming pattern is much different than all of my other butterflies. It has the ability to remain almost motionless while hunting for food and will orient itself almost totally vertical. It's really interesting to watch, I'll try to get a video up later today or tonight.
And for the big news, I have a mystery butterfly fish in my other Quarantine Tank:bounce3: (this is why the altivelis, multi and mr. puff went back to the DT).
Everyone except Derek is free to guess, I'll start giving clues if nobody figures it out.
