My two 230g tanks and 80g add on

[fishoholic]

Really missing my nikon DSLR camera, but here's an ok pic. of the 230g fowlr tank. Ignore the HA



Shrooms in the fowlr




and gsp


So in my fowlr tank I lost my cleaner wrasse due to carpet surfing and my cat I would of been able to save the cleaner wrasse off the carpet (was in the tank when I fed it five minute earlier) but unfortunately my cat saw it on the floor before I did and when I came downstairs (literally what must of been minutes after it jumped) I noticed my cat tossing something up in the air and catching it, when I went to check out what he was playing with, much to my dismay it was my cleaner wrasse That night Doug almost got his wish of me not having a cat anymore

On different days awhile ago I also found my 6-line wrasse and mandarin in the overflow. So I moved them to the reef tank were they both have settled in nicely. The red corris wrasse leaves the 6-line alone and my scooter blenny could care less about the mandarin, so moving them worked out well

Yesterday when Doug and I went to the lfs I saw this beautiful chocolate mimic tang at AI. The tang had been bought 3 yrs ago at AI as a juvi and was recently brought back to AI from it's owner. It got jumped in a bit by my other tangs but he's a bit bigger then them (he's about 5") and stood up for himself fairly quickly. About 4 yrs ago I had an opportunity to get a chocolate mimic (which I think is a beautiful fish) but the owner had two of them together and did not want to split them up and at the time I had a 120g and I did not want add two of the same tangs in it. Since then off and on I have been looking for a chocolate mimic that looked as nice as the one I remembered from all those yrs ago, happy to say I finally found one



more of a truer colour pic.

Wow Laurie I didn't realize you had this many tanks going looking good. I love the cow fish & the tangs too.

So I guess we can call Dougster the shroom dealer

Thanks Mike, I've always love powder blues, but they can be tricky. I was happy to get him from Bob knowing that he was healthy and doing well to begin with

He does deal some pretty sweet shrooms He also has been wonderful in helping my broke a$$ by hooking me up with salt, very grateful for this since I do a 60g water change per week.

GRRRRRRRRRR WTH!!!!!!!!

I just fed my tanks and I noticed that my orange spot blenny (same one in the pic. I took yesterday) wasn't out front and center gobbling up food like usual. I'm thinking to my self that that's strange and of course my first thought is "Oh sh*t he jumped" so I started to frantically search all around the tank and finally I see him in the tank (on the cheato and mangrove pod side) dead at the bottom His body looked perfectly fine and in tact and he was eating well yesterday. At a total loss as to why he died, I had him for 4 months and while he spent most of that time in the reef tank, he had been in the 80g for about 2 weeks and did seem fine in there. I seriously don't get it Also pretty sure that type of blenny gets a lot bigger (he was about 3" but i think they get to about 5") so I doubt it was from old age or anything like that
