    Nah the levels were perfect and so was salinity.. I think he was just stressed being in a tank with fish 5x his size.. :/ poor guy, we miss him

    Ya cosmo.... He was our first lost fish :/ i would like to get another but i dont think the new one would do well in the tank :(
    I dont think this opens up much room in the stock list because he was a small fish with a small bioload....

    BUT NOW its time for the GREAT news!!!! After 3 days of trying to set up our chiller it is finally working!!!

    Dont get 2 anthias. Think ive already said it a pair is not the best. Go with 1 anthias. Or a school dont just buy a pair. But if you want them to be unhappy then go ahead. I would recomened again 1 anthias. And they are like cloen fish that the dominant fish will change to male. And vise versa. Just get a female and save urself further loss.
