Got akindynos?

[David M]

I do, now what ? Picked up two fish yesterday at a wholesaler, one huge (6"?) and one half that size, The little guy is stuck to the big one like glue and she doesn't seem to mind. They were not a "pair", just two fish I chose at random. I read these are difficult to acclimate, any suggestions?

Both ate well this morning, at least there's that. Should I just assume brooklynella ?

Yes, and Ich and velvet and clownfish disease. Unless they're from a well established hobbiests' tank assume the worst and QT.

Quarantine is standard around here, 60 days minimum, usually 90 or more in the case of fish not taken from local reef tanks. ( like these) I'm wondering about prophylactic meds? In order to make room for these guys I had to release a pair of clarkii's into the system, makes me nervous as I have only had them since October.

Wait isnt since october at least 90 days?

Yea, that was sort of my point Even after 4 months I still don't really trust new fish
