It is acceptable and usually works well. I've done it before. The red heads can be a bit more on the aggressive side for fairy wrasses though, so...
Correct, see the attachment in post #53; there's a diagram of how to do it.
Based of another of the OPs threads, I'd say it's the ammonia/nitrite burning them...
It could be based on that description, but based on the pictures I don't see it as one.
*EDIT* Guess not; nevermind.

Thank you! I do believe the growth of that birdsnest is due to an overabundance of light. It started up there under my old metal halide fixture in...
Ha! Yeah, he does seem a bit that way. He found his way there a couple days ago and has been parked there ever since. It's actually just a ORA...
Bingo! What's my prize Bob? :) But seriously, this is your answer. Serpent are know to do exactly this. There have been other threads with the...
