Just a quick little update, the achilles seems to be doing better today. When I got home from work, I went straight down stairs to the tank. When I got around the corner I noticed him right away, because he was black again. YAY. Now he does still have a little bit of ick, but he is still eating a ton and has a big gut on him. Here's a couple pics I just took.

Here he is picking algea off the bottom of the tank.


Here he is with his new little buddy, our new Sargassum Trigger.


About the trigger, I just picked him up from Aquatics Addictions on Wednesday. I am thinking that maybe he is somehow making the achilles feel more comfortable now that he is the new guy in the tank. I don't really know, I am just happy that they are both eating and the achilles seems to be on the right track again.

Try feeding your achilles some gracillaria if you want to try to fatten him up

when you go look at him and he is grey could he just have woken up? I had mine for almost 3 years before I sold him when I took down the tank, when he slept he went molted, and soon after waking up he was full color. he didn't know I could see his hiding spot Could be a defense/cammo to help him hide when he sleeps.
