30 hours have passed since I introduced the 2nd flame angel. At this point all 3 of the angels have full range of the tank. During feeding they swim and feed side by side and could care less about the presence of the others. There is very little chasing and virtually no pecking or standoffs. So far...I have a peaceful 120 reef tank with a coral beauty and 2 flame angels!!
Got rid of the second coral beauty. He found a new 90 gallon home of his own.
Well, I just stopped by a loca LFS today and he happen to have the tinyest flame I had ever seen. Definetly female but it had a good sprinkle of ick going on and he wouldn't come off the price of $69.99 an inch. I couldn't justify paying full price for a sick fish when the other LFS down the road let me have the flame in my QT for "FREE" and I just come and pay if he lives. This store hosts a reef club meeting 2x a year and they know I will be good for it otherwise the fish definetly wouldn't have made it through the night at the store with no intervention. He had ICK, a mystery disease I treated with broad spectrum antibiotics, and was touch and go for a few days but seems healthy as can be 4 weeks later . I get great satisfaction from taking a poor sick fish and nursing it back to health. I have bought 3 fish purposly with just ICK with full confidence I can cure them but always got a good discount off retail for a obviousely sick fish. I am a little aggravated he wouldn't budge because it was a sweet looking fish and exactly what I needed but the principle of it keeps me from buying her.
