well due to my negligence i lost my rusty angel last week. (toped up with SW insted of FW) grabbed the wrong bucket and my salanity rose to 1.027. water change first thing in the am was not enough to save it. i have spent the last week trying to find a acceptable replacement for him and well today was the the day.

i found a Eibli pygmy angel (Eibesfeldts Pygmy Angel). i have never seen one before and it is not mentioned in any of my books. it is an amazing specimin. pics to follow when he has acclimatized a little better.

I'm sorry about your Angel.

I hate it when I lose fish & hate it even more when it's because of something I did

I love Eibli Angels. Should make a nice replacement.

btw - what do you normally keep your salinity at? How much of a rise was there?

On particular hot days, mine can empty it's ATO (just 2 x 450ml bottles) and still need topping up another 0.5 liter when I get home from work. Especially if I run a fan.

Jump is roughly 1.026 to 1.027 & nothing seems the worse for it.

i dont have a refractometer so measurments are only close. but it was a rise of > . 003. i also lost a cleaner shrimp. gotta love something as simple as not paying attention to what bucket you grab and poof the fish pay for it. it was really dumb on my part as my water change was for the next morning so i dont know why i felt the need to top off. it was only for a period of about 10 hours.
