So... to war then? I've brought my arsenal to bear against him.

Go figure. I put two Ruby Dragonets in the 60 and a small Pearly Jawfish into the 22. And how many do I see? Just one little Dragonet hanging out under a Goni. Hopefully the other two show der buttinskys tomorrow . Spend 145 on fish and all they want do is hide…..
Hopefully they dont end up fighting.

My spotted Mandy is ignoring them and they weren’t bothering each other in a small pretty bare PetCo tank. I have hopes. And as I mentioned the second one just showed up. There’s lots of places to explore so there’s plenty of places to retreat if necessary .

I have no tank for Gonis, so if I win, it's getting shipped to you.
Ok, wow. I’ll pay you back somehow. Do you take installment plans? Major Credit Cards? Or do I throw a few torches in a bag and slip them under the table to you….

I’ve got 2 Nero 3’s in the 60 on the right side. And one in the Nano. Solid little pumps. Now if I could figure a way to keep the dwarf Cerith snails out of them….

I literally cannot have anything with zooxanthellae in the tank until I wipe out this pathogen. I also have to go ultra low nitrate to do it... so anything I did have would just outright die.

Sadly this means my mushroom corals are goners.

And since it transfers with water you can't even put them in a different tank. Stupid pathogens.

No chance. It's an intracellular parasite that takes amino acids produced by the zooxanthellae instead of allowing the coral to metabolize them. So in effect, it starves the coral at a cellular level.

OMG. Losing 4 of my Discus to HIH is nothing to this. Ugh. Sorry again .
