My Harlequin Tuskfish and Lunare Wrasse have been together for nine months. From day 1 the Tuskfish has chased the Lunare Wrasse with murder in his eye. I always suspected it was more play than serious. (Surely he would have caught up to him by now.)
Well, this morning he did!
I threw a fresh clam in the tank and after it was eaten the Trigger was playing with the empty shell, swimming back and forth with it in his mouth. When he dropped the shell it landed in a corner, between the glass and some rock. The Lunare Wrasse went in to have a look and the Tuskfish cornered him between a rock-and-a-hard-place. The Wrasse had no escape. The Tusk moved in on him, and the Wrasse froze. Then they touched noses, the Tusk backed up, and let the Wrasse go! Then the chase was on again. It was just like they were playing tag!
I know...........this sounds like I've been dropping acid. I just wish I had had the video camera on them. But here's a couple of pics of the two children.

Aren't they amazingly fast? Quickest fish I've ever seen! Steals food right from another fish's mouth before it even know what happens.

I purchased a Jalli JT 1000 Heater Controller & 500W titanium heater. Anybody familiar with these? (I hope they are better than the Aqua Medic controller I threw in the garbage last year).

Good to hear. Thanks Doug.

Take three deep breaths and count to ten!............. Calm down!............... Otherwise you might do something you'll later regret: Like catch the bloodthirsty little bitch of a Fire Clown and feed her to the Seagulls!
I was mounting a few frags near her nem and she bit me so hard I pulled my arm back and slammed my elbow into the edge of the euro-bracing. SOB that hurt! Her bite wasn't so bad but the elbow throbs.

Here's the little vampire: she's at the bottom of the nem laughing at me. See her evil, crooked grin.
