Turtle's Deep Blue Sea

[Katrina71]

I'm so sorry!

 

[sfin52]

I’m so sorry. How is Maui. The can be sensitive as well

 

[Scurvy]

Dang, Sorry man... seems to be a rough stretch for us people and Wrasses. Hope youre feeling better. Ive been sick too.

My tricolor fairy has been MIA since Friday. My gal says she saw him laying on the bottom one afternoon but he was breathing. i havent seen him. Happened the same time i added a small bag of chemipure for a polish. Probably a coincidence. No other changes/additions.

In the biocube my yellow Coris is also MIA. Was missing fir a few days then appeared for dinner one evening. He Ate and went MIA again. Going on 5 days. No changes at all in this tank either.

@Scurvy thats rough. Are wrasses that temperamental.

Wrasses for me had always been a fairly easy fish to keep. They are known to hide in the sand for days at a time if they're going through changes or stressed. Im hopeful the Yellow Coris is just having some "growing pains" for lack of better terminology as i don't see any other signs of stress in that tank. Maybe something with change of seasons but that seems less likely... He had been otherwise healthy and in the tank just shy of a year.

The Tricolor has me stumped... He jumped about a month ago while i was doing some maintenace but recovered from that in just a couple of hours and had been fine since. I wonder if he freaked out over something, darted into the rocks or glass and has/had an injury of some sort. Something tells me I'll never know.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Yea most wrasse are fairly hardy fish. Not as tough as clowns, but I wouldn't call them a sensitive fish. Maui is fine, as are the clowns and tailspot.

 

[sfin52]

How are you feeling today robin?

 

[SashimiTurtle]

No more fever, but the sore throat, sinus drainage and achy muscles are still here. So on a scale of bryopsis outbreak to tank full of colorfull SPS, I'd say I feel like detritus.

Oh give me one minute, our surprise came in. Well, at least half of it.

 

[sfin52]

Sounds like the flu that’s awful

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Alright so the surprise that was supposed to show up today... is deceased. I had to call and find out why my package never slowed up. That's two, black cap basslets divers den has killed before they reached me. We'll be ordering one at the LFS next time. All is not lost, I still have a surprise for you. Thus guy came in the same box as the flame cardinals. I was waiting to show you with the black cap. It's a yellow tail reef basslet. Liopropoma mitratum

 

[sfin52]

That sucks hope they refund your money.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

That sucks hope they refund your money.

They did.

 

[Scurvy]

Frustrating for sure but at least LiveAquaria is good about refunds. Shipping this time of year is risky. Just too much volume.

 

[Second Shot]

Jeez a lot of trouble with them getting fish to you. Like said above, at least you get your money back but I really hope their success rate is normally better[emoji51]

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Idk if it's that particular basslet or what, but they've killed two before they shipped out. I'll get my LFS to order one and a few wrasse... that should complete my stock list.

l have heard black cap basslets have a bad reputation adjust to aquarium life. Sorry to hear about your problems. L am actually planning on taking a tour of The Dovers Den building come spring so we shall see. Should be fun.

He needs one for Christmas...

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Oh, in all the sick excitement that's been going on over here... I forgot to tell you that the media reactor came in today. I pulled it out of the box and cant really figure out how it's supposed to go together. The stand pipe that goes into the bottom doesn't exactly sit flush. I'll figure that out later.
