Very expensive mistake

It is unfortunate because lockrookie is one of the nicest guys out there. He would and does bend over backwards to help people.

I always had a feeling you were a bit soft inside

[jorjef]

Yep I'm busted. No sense continuing the portrayal of something I'm not. Its all nice guy from now on.

Wholee crap Jeff
Sorry to hear about it dude. That was a pretty fish according to other Jeff's pic

I made a booboo in front of the wife last week that I'll never hear the end of ...
We've always had peppermint shrimp in our tank, so our wrasses were cool with them.

When our big pepp disappeared last month I decided to get another, not thinking anything about it (size wise) as we have both a cleaner and a fire shrimp.
Brought home the pepp and an emerald crab.
After acclimation introduced both to the DT after dinner.
Placed the emerald crab on the LR near some algae, and the shrimp inside my 8" x 8" birdsnest colony.
Duh dun .... duh dun ... (jaws theme song)
Wrasses are curious, wrasses are stalking, shrimp is receding, wrasses are stalking and pecking, crab is enjoying having his back picked at, pepp is nervous, BAM pepp is in my Melanurus mouth, smashed against the rocks and the whole crew had a $10 snack.
The whole thing took less than 20-30 seconds

Hope to see a batfish in one of your tanks soon

It's always the pretty things or the most expensive and if you want a list of do not's I can give you one lol

From Angels eating dendros to never clean a power head while it's still running Murphy will get you and mow the tenticals off that pretty plate coral. It sucks but you move on.

I am a little worried for the foxface too was breathing heavy and went into hiding only time will tell but every other addition is doing good so far.

Thank you Jeff for the kind words. I only do for others as others have done for me. We have a great community of refers in sask

Don't worry about the foxface, they are notorious for being scaredy cat's and getting stressed when first introduced. He will be fine in a couple days.

True about the foxface
My one spot was eating like a pig the same night he came home, but he was never breathing heavy ....

[lockrookie]

Yeah I guess I'm just on edge now lol to be expected. I've always wanted a foxface and this one was to cool to pass up

In light of the events thanks colby for every thing. Sorry that batfish got eaten
