Ugh, sometimes I'm crazy...

[SDguy]

Going for the Chelmon trio, living my dream.

Let's hope it works. Unfortunately the new guy is noticeably smaller than my giant full grown marginalis, so an acclimation container or even eggcrate tank divide may be needed.

Awesome! Did those parachaetodons come in as a pair?

Thanks. They were together in the LFS, and seem to get along relatively well in the QT. Since so many of the pictures I've seen of them show them in groups, I am hoping they will coexist long term.

The Parachaetodon's look impressive indeed:eek2::eek2::eek2:

Thanks, as I've said, this is my first time seeing them in person. Such a neat shape and pattern!

Are the damsels going into the DT too?

Absolutely! I currently have 2 talbots, one azure, and one allens remaining in the DT after the catalufa took out a few. Since losing the catalufa I will be adding one yellowtail (though it's a nice version with almost a half back yellow and yellow pelvic fins), along with two more allens.

If the daily WCs get to be too much for you, I'll gladly take the butterflies for you.

Looks good, and good luck with those finicky eaters. Your skills and experience should prevail though.

 

[SDguy]

So far so good. Everyone is doing well. Cupramine is almost done. Prazi was done without issue. Just cleaned cleaned the Aquaclears tonight, and did another 10g water change. Still no luck getting the parachaetodons to eat anything except worms

 

[caribfan]

Maybe their appetite will develop more once they are off of medications. What is the common name for the parachaetodons?

 

[SDguy]

Good point. LADD called them kite butterflies.

 

[caribfan]

I was interested so I can keep a look out on the lists that I have available to me from time to time. I love that shape too and as I have a 240 build that i'm getting ready to embark on, i'm going to keep my eye out for them.

I was so excited when I got the go ahead for the upgrade, but i'm worried now it's going to be too small because I have so many fish that I want to add. I'll be starting my build thread shortly, where do most people post those?

 

[SDguy]

I'd guess the large tank forum if it's a reef... not sure if people do FOWLR builds there too...

 

[beachbreak]

Beautiful fish!

Whats your WC schedule on the DT these guys will be going into?

 

[caribfan]

Thanks, it'll be a FOWLR, not dedicated enough for the reef. I like fish that like the way the reef tastes too.

 

[SDguy]

Beautiful fish!

Whats your WC schedule on the DT these guys will be going into?

I change 80g about once a month.

 

[SDguy]

OK, everyone's looking great. I think this weekend will be the transfer!

 

[JohnniG]

Thats almost a display

 

[SDguy]

If you only knew what's in there at this point

 

[SDguy]

OK, everyone is in the DT! That's right, I QT'ed 10 fish in a 15g tank. Tell me how awful QT is, go ahead... tell me

 

[9thwonder]

Awesome. Great job Peter. That's a lot of fish to QT at once.

 

[tallball158]

Wow that's beautiful!

 

[Ambition]

Peter, display looks great as always! Let me know when you have room for a tank maintenance guy to move in. :lol:

 

[SDguy]

Just let me know when you do laundry and you're in!

 

[jjk_reef00]

Great video, the larger tank is filling in very nicely!

Amazing group of fish Peter
