From DD or LA?... Is it eating yet?
 
candy bassletts are actually pretty hardy little fish i had 2 in a 60gallon reef a few years back and can say that i put there hardiness to the test...

Long story short went to work when i got back i noticed my dad had fumigated the house including the room where these fish resided and by the time i realised what had happened both my candy bassletts were on the brink of death litteraly belly up on the tank bottom but still breathing, i quickly scooped them out and transfered them to the sump of my main display in the living room with in a couple of hours they were happly eating mysid shrimp and acting normal. So yeah id say there pretty darn hardy!
 
Saw a mated pair of brotulids a couple days ago.... That must be a rarity?

Not really just not as desirable. The juv False personifer they had a few days ago is not often seen. Only the 3rd one in the past year offered through DD
 
brotulids are usually shy fish, and not many people ever see them in their tank. at all. from what i have heard, they just hide in a hole and no one ever sees them. a shame, because they are a beautiful fish.
 
A little off topic... how are the fish from livequaria? Being affiliated with petco I was unsure of the quality. For the last 2 fish for my tank i was thinking to just get them at one shot from there as my lfs might not have them both at the same time...
 
Every fish in my 180DT came from LA DD. Every fish I ever purchased elsewhere had a relativly short life spans. I have no LFS within 120 miles of me that carries marine.
