Also could you briefly tell me your QT setup.

Thanks,
My QT lasted about 8 weeks. BB tank with ABS pipe fittings for shelter. Each fish had Formalin baths, Prazipro treatments, Hypo and then 2 weeks of copper. The copper was used because I had a strain of Ich that came back after 6wks of hypo. I did very heavy water changes every 3 days till the QT process was finished. I also fed the fish anti-parasitic deworming fish food to kill internal intestinal parasites.

great qt processes--interesting that ich came back after six weeks--that's usually cited as the safe point.

Awe man! that is some cool rock work neptune777! Did you make it yourself? I see the tangs like it also.

 

[chwcdw]

colouring is fantastic--are you adding anything for colouration

Nothing special really.

I alternate between a garlic additive and Reef Plus from Seachem. Furtunatelly all of my fish have been healthy and their coloring is fantastic.

You should see my Pinstripe Wrasse!

ah pinstripe--In the great white north it is called a elegant wrassse--but what do we know:lol:
I had one as beautiful as that and bigger--for one year--one day it was absent at the dinner table and I never saw it again.
It didn't jump--I am sure it buried itself under the substrated like it prefered to do and got caught
funny I rescued a cardinal like that a month ago and just introduced it back from qt--it is a male also

 

[Ziggy953]

I guess if you want to call it a trick was when it was very small I put it where it is and let it lean back slightly against the rocks behind it. As a result it is attached to 4 different rocks and has grown pretty much straight up.
