    When I QT'd all of my fish in response to an ich outbreak, there was one fish I couldn't find. I assumed the outbreak got him, because he's a goby, so he's on the sand and is somewhat more likely to be found by the tomites. This was about a month and a half ago now.

    Tonight, I go to feed the corals, and I look around for any gorilla crabs (still dealing with that issue...), and guess who showed up?

    The shyest fish to have ever existed. There's not a single other fish in the entire tank, and he still never comes out. I mean, I thought he was dead for a month and a half! lol ;D

    Seriously lol. I don't understand this fish. I see him, on average, less than once a month.

    Sweet dude! It's always an awesome feeling when something you think is gone but suddenly shows up out of the blue clear sky! Of course this means your attempt at ridding the tank of ich was futile. But I'm happy your goby turned up. :)

    It wasn't you, I thought of it when I was getting the camera to take the pic. I dunno if I should put him in the QT and start over with the 2 month period, or just throw the cardinal back in to the DT though.

    lol, no new name, he's still Goober.
