Update:

So I still have 4 of the 5.

2 for sure are chowing on nutramar and Cyclops and the 3rd appears to be eating but not in front of me.

Now the 4th. This is the one I believe to be my only male and after a week of having him he developed a swim bladder issue . I gave him 4 rounds of furan hoping it was just an infection but it didn't clear. Today was the day I decided I was going to euthanize him and freeze him well I said f*** that and did about 5 min on online research and .......drum roll please.

Successfully needled him and released the air from his swim bladder and he looks very happy now. Swimming actively around his tank searching for food. So next is feeding him and I hope its not too late. Also running more antibiotics to be safe

thats great news, congrats fish DR.

I have heard some bad things about the minn clubs but I never went to one so I can't say 1st hand what they are like. sorry you had bad issues with them though. you could try posting on the sfaas.org site and just ask, it's in sioux falls but I think a few people go up your way every now and then. there is also a group at RedRiverValleyReefers.com you could try.

Thanks I'll keep that in mind. Tcmas is crap tbh and the folks on there are jerks. So much for MN nice?

Edit: I should have video taped the procedure but I was nervous as heck and forgot darnit
