    Good News,

    The Achilles came, and seems to be settling in nicely, Eating Nori, and Mysis and Angelfish Formula? LOL. (No garlic used)

    Bad News,

    Got in a scuffle with the Desjardini Sailfin Tang. It was getting bad irritating and tons of scrapes and fins torn. Regardless Got the Desjardini out. and Had Him chilling in a 5g bucket with a small pump.. Was waiting to see if one of my friends friends wanted him, Checked in on him and he was dead. :(. After examining the fish, ending size about 6.75" He had one huge gouge from his pectoral fin down towards his stomach...

    Im assuming death was from the stress, of being chased and caught. As well as the battle wound from the Achilles.


    Will keep you guys updated and hopefully some pics tomorrow of the little bugger.

    Sorry about your loss. Wondered why that happened. Is the Achilles more aggressive than the Desjardini?

    Yeah, The achilles didn't back down. I figured with the achilles being under 3" I shouldnt have had a Huge issue. But needless tosay size didnt matter in the end.

    Update on the little achilles,

    Hes eating ok... Not a huge fan of the seaweed strips yet. However, loves his brine, mysis and angelfish formula :confused:?

    Fins healed up pretty quick from the battle. However today begins the ich fest :angry:! Was bound to happen at some point! But everyone in the tank plays nice and is very peaceful ... So Hopefully that will give him the upper hand. He has a bad habit of slapping up my Passer Angelfish... and the little fish has become King of the tank, Even though he is the smallest fish in the tank. :lol:
