Ugh, sometimes I'm crazy...

Thanks everyone. I'll get a video up of them in the QT. They look amazing!
 
Awesome new fish! The pair seem to be very active towards food, and are actually side by side.. so cool. The Annularis looks sweet as well. Will any of these be going into your reef? I am looking for a butterfly to go in my reef when I upgrade.. most likely will go with a pyramid or copperband. Of course none are 100% safe, but I enjoy forming my reef around fish :D
 
Thanks. I'm a little nervous... if you look closely, the larger one has a slightly red anus... never a good thing with fish. If it's not cleared up by tomorrow morning, I'm throwing NGP in the tank.
 
Honestly, it could just be because they are pooping red Formula1 pellets, but one can never worry too much about an expensive butterfly fish's anus :lol:
 
I'm amazed that you can just toss pellets into your tanks and the majority of your BFs just devour them like the've been eating them their entire life, great work!
 
I was pleasantly surprised about these two. My only experience with tinker's previously was when a friend got a collected pair directly from a diver in HI. They had all sorts of issues, and were extremely finicky eaters. Not surprising, I thought, for adult butterflies. Neither fish made it out of QT.

When Kevin at PIA said these two were eating pellets, I was a bit skeptical. But he was kind enough to email me a quick video of them eating. SOLD! :)
 
I saw a single spot on one of the tink's this morning. Could be a bubble? But I started cupramine just in case. 1 drop per gallon today.
