    He's out, and eating like a champ. On a positive note, he seems to have made his home on the side of the tank that nobody is living;) smart fishy;)

    Sorry, only blues on!
    So evidently my tank houses what appears to be a juvenile one spot fox face! Apparently my son convinced his nana/my mother that I really wanted this fish and he wanted to get it or my bday! Of course she fell for it! Dang! Not an ideal fish for a LPS dominated tank!

    Not sure what to do, not real keen on trying to catch him and take the rockwork down, but don't want to risk it!

    Anyone know the likelihood he starts munching on stuff he's not supposed too?

    Guess my boy needs another talk about the tank!

    Must be nice to come home to a new fish in the tank. ;) Maybe I should print out some new clown fish and place them under my fiancés pillow.


    But in all seriousness NOT COOL, I hope you can catch the little guy. :(

    lol, yeah, the fish is kinda cool, just not on the wishlist, especially for this tank;(

    Thought the rules about the tank were clear, guess not:(

    Heck, maybe someday at the LFS, he said it was cool and wanted it and I agreed and he remembered. He talks alot and likes everything at the LFS, so i kinda have a bad habit of agreeing with him rather than starting a debate on EVERY SINGLE critter in the store and why we cant take them all home! lol

    OK, I'll prob watch and wait, solely because the thought of catching him makes me mad, lol. I've always liked them, just had them crossed off possibilities due to the fact that they may start munching. Let's hope.

    Just use a fish trap and leave it in the tank for a few days. You'll get him eventually.

    He's got his whole arm,definately a goner,lol,thats pretty cheesy Alex,haha.

    Congrats on the new add,well both actually,lol.I vote for having an informational talk and then buying gift cards for future gifts for your tank,they did it not knowing better but thier hearts were in the right place.I also vote for seeing how it does before any rash decisions.

    And if all else fails and he don't play nice,then this ^^^
