My 240g FOWLR

When they eat well but wither away and die in the first month or two, I generally suspect poisoning at capture (cyanide) or trauma during capture and transport (left in hot sun, ammonia in transport water, etc. ). Sometimes there is nothing you can do.

I hadn't thought about that. It's just a weird thing to lose a fish that eats so readily. From my limited experience, getting a fish to eat is 90% of the battle.

Thanks for your thoughts. Sorry about the Hijacking Peter.

Thanks for enabling.... err, thinking of.... me :). I actually have a lot of travel coming up so I likely won't even look at anything new until the new year.
 
I haven't had any issues with them. Truth be told I've been very busy lately, so I haven't watched the tank much, but other than one getting significantly larger than the other, I have never seen any interaction with the two (ie spawning). Zero aggression between the two.
 
Big news for the tank! I added the pair of flame angels, two spot hogfish, and the powder blue tang from the reef to the FO. I can't tell you what a breath of fresh air that PBT brings to the colors of the fish in the tank.

I can imagine! BF's are yellow, black, white. Not a lot of blue ones out there. Do you expect any agression to any future new additions from the power blue tang?
 
I don't think so. Truth be told, he is so small still. Even after all this time, he didn't really grow at all. He's 5" at best... smaller than most of the butterflies. I wonder if being in with much larger fish will now change this?
 
Could you please tell me what fish is the one that is yellos with black on the top? He is in your second tank shot on the bottom right.
Thank you
 
sorry i didnt specify at all i didnt see that you had a lot of other pictures. I am talking about a fish that is Yellow at the belly and black in the top. He is in your second picture one your post number 7 on post 1. It is so nice looking. Thanks
