That's unfortunate but don't give up on them, they should be able to work out their differences and get a long with each other.

Maybe try removing the current one for a couple days and then reintroducing them together

Well i got inpatient when i saw the peps calm with each other in box. So i removed box. ,,,, and. Now new pep is in same lower left front corner cause i guess thats where she was safe in the box. Old pep only gets ****ed if she heads to rock work. So as of now. One is right in front so everyone can see lol. Must be females. They fight like *****es. ,, sorry rc

 

[hedgedrew]

Omg. Rc bleeped my bit ch attack. Lol

Narcosis comes in a week. 3 rd one is a charm. ,,,!!!!!!,

 

[RayL]

Good luck with the narcosis

For such an expensive and rare fish the peps are, you seem to be pretty easy going. I hope it works out to your benefit. Best of luck for these two getting along

 

[hedgedrew]

Thx ray. I already let him out and built a new reef house in corner he felt safe in. All good.

 

[auem]

is he feeding now..?

 

[hedgedrew]

New fish us so stressed from attacks of older one. Was submissive on side in corner of tank by surface. Minute i put her back in a box along now withvtank divider. Egg crate she is settling dn again. Man the older one is out 5x as more now looking for new one and patrolling the tank. As soon as i. Settle her down ill release from box and then shell have half the tank each. I just dont know why these little guys get so nasty in nature ie teritorry or do i have same sex battle.

 

[auem]

keep them divided for now...you can try again in a month time once the new one settles down and feeding again...

Forget it This guy is not going to make it. To me it looked swollen and didnt swim right like decompression issues. Tendedvto float to top. Or thecday i had them in tank together , other pep did so much dammage either physically or mentally ibdont expect the fish to make the night. To me it never looked right relative to the other one i had. Maybe it didnt travel or ship well Maybe letting her loose in tank with other for a day was mistake. Or maybe there was bladder issue. So add me to list of loosing one. I dont know but mortality rates of 50 per at least .... Doesnt give much help. Not sure what to do from here. Another one from koji ? Ot take loss and leave and enjoy one. I may change rock anyway. Too many aptasias I tried pep shrimp and aptasia x. And the wand. Still suckers grow fast. Just wonder if it could have gotten stung.

I am sorry to hear this, a pair of Peps would have been an amazing tank

Wish you better luck next time as I am sure you will have another one soon

it was well and eating at Karen..must have gone something wrong in transport or in the tank...i guess beating he took was the nail..

if Koji has one feeding, get it...if you wait for next batch it would mean to start from scratch....better get one which has settled after a month...

 

[humaguy]

sorry bud and hope she pulls thru...I would wait for the next batch...

 

[hedgedrew]

Thx guys. Ya probablyvwaiting for next batch is right.

 

[Noamurmac]

this is an incredible reef. the calcium it must use is probably crazy! haha

 

[hedgedrew]

Double calcium reactors and full strength kalkwasser on liter meter

 

[hedgedrew]

Well. All i will say is i tried again. From koji, just flew in another narcosis( baby) and yes another peppermint. This time the tank is divided so the peps do not harass each other. Letting them settle down nd take some pics tomorrow

 

[auem]

good luck this time....:thumbsup:

 

[hedgedrew]

Thx man. Appreciate it

Where is the narcosis going?
The two peps are going to share the tank, but is the narcosis going in with them?
