Time for an update Evan.

Update:
My new fish from Austin was a new baby Blue Line Rabbitfish to replace my Foxface which ate all the calurpa and then died 3 weeks after I got it. New Blue Line was dead in my tank in less than 24 hours.... CBB and Clown are unaffected.

There you go

Sorry to hear that Evan.

Sorry to hear that. Now I feel bad for asking . Good to hear the CBB and clown are ok though. Is the CBB still eating?

thanks for the geography lessons guys

quiksilver sorry for two losses in a row
As a suggestion you want to consider setting up a quarantine tank for observation
Every new fish I purchase goes in my qt for 4-6 weeks for observation, less stressful acclimitization, and or possible disease treatment should it arise.

Sorry to hear, Evan. What happened to your QT? You've mentioned it before on the unmentionable podcast.

 

[kar93]

Any new pics of the tank?

Well, I agree but the first one was in quarantine and ate fine for almost two weeks in there. He made the transfer to the main tank like a champ and was eating fine and just died randomly like 2 weeks later.

The second was very very tiny and had to survive the car ride all the way from Austin. I wanted to get him out of the bag ASAP after drip acclimation and that meant putting him in the main tank quickly. He was so skiny when I got him in the tank and he just wouldn't eat. 24 hours later, DEAD.

I've been in the middle of moving... again... UGH. But yeah, I have some pictures I will have to post tonight when I get home. You can see how bad the calurpa comeback has gotten. All the new frags are awesome though.

two weeks is not enough--4-6 weeks with no sign of disease build up its health aka immunity system.

Moving again, will this accomodate a huge tank for you to setup?
