I finally covered mine, I've had clowns, wrasses, hogfish and my trigger jump. Others have simply just vanished..., missing 2 anthias and a blenny.

+1 to covering fish tanks specially if wrasses are present.

I finally covered my tank a few weeks ago and could not be happier since the boogers jump on regular basis and I only have 3 wrasses (fairy solar, carpenters and cleaner)


Good looking fish you got there Greg.

Unfortunately, we're still at 3 - the teeny little Yellow Coris didn't make it
I'm on the hunt for another

Thanks for all the wishes everyone

After some deep thinking, I am going to try another tiny little guy, but this time we'll be matching the QT water to him, instead of him being in a bag all day, and then raising his Sg to match my QT

The plan is to drop the QT water on Friday to match his 'Store' Sg, then he will just fit right in

The Coris is coming from Oceanic, and Paul likes to keep his water @ 1.016
This was a surprise for me, and was a problem the first time I received a fish from them
Now that I know what I am dealing with, all is good

Pics to come this weekend

1.016? isn't that a bit too low? From what I've read all around it should always be b/w 1.022 and 1.024.

Anyway, I'm excited for you! I'm sure this time will be a breeze!

Will you be setting up a new QT tank for this lil fella, considering you got the other three in there for another 5-6 weeks?
