It's all good now
The new bangaii ate before I took him/her home and just now ate with everyone else
It's also roaming around quite a bit more than the other poor dude

I feel bad that I couldn't help the first one, but sometimes it's a matter of cost over preservation

Too funny
One of the PJs was chasing the other, but now, with the new Bangaii chasing him away from his fave spot, the PJs have become friends again
The clown isn't bothered by anyone, even though he's not even half their size

I have a QO1200 running the UV and the clown owns the whole thing ...
Pump, hose, pad, it's all his
Too funny, it's like he's hosting it
He's gonna be disappointed in the DT without a pump to own

The PJs are picking pods off the glass, even after eating, so all is lookin' good

Happy little QT right now

Can't wait to add them to the DT and get some more dudes in the QT

New Bangaii, looks the same as the original, except it has a full belly and a longer second dorsal ( clown looks huge in the pic, but he's only about 3/4" )



Algae is an issue in the DT as the new LR I added still had some NO3 and PO4 leaching. I expected this and will just have to wait it out
Currently the algae is coated in diatoms so it's not too terribly nice to look at
I've been siphoning out what I can and filtering the water through a seachem 'THE BAG' and pouring the water back into the sump socks. Can't be any worse than not removing it at all

Skimmer has been working overtime so I can't complain

Also, I dropped my tank temp to 79 from 80
I'll watch how well the chiller keeps up and make a decision

I'd say so too
And he's not staying in one spot
Lights on or off, hes roaming everywhere
Lookin' right now, he's going after stuff that's floating ...
I'm very happy with his appetite and the fact that he's hungry and interested
Tomorrow morning should be a good time

Like I said, I feel bad for the dude I returned, but I can't save the world

The PJs are still arguing, so I'll have to see how that goes

I hope you're right about the PJs as I thought they were a pair at the store ......... what's going on but I would swear they were a pair when I bought them
There were about 7 in the store and these 2 hang out lots
Maybe I judged their attitudes wrong and they were the bossy ones going after each other
I hope the dominance thing settles down soon ...

Good news is the Bangaii doesn't put up with their crap, so maybe it'll stop them from bickering
