    creepy? AWESOME I was super pumped to actually see a pod in my 46, i figured the clown and dotty had pretty much decimated the population. I guess feeding my newgorg made them happy to breed

    I've had 2 die in the past 2 weeks.They were both eating and doing well then come home and find them dead.Tried the oriental sweetlips they only lasted a few hours each.I dont recommend either of these fish as they were dead in a few hours and the leopard wrasse a couple of days.And I saw all 4 fish eat well

    Hah yeah Ive heard stories such as this.

    Bright side he does eat frozen mysis :). Didnt take much to coax him off the live brine within a day.

    :( Little brat of a wrasse has been hiding the last two days. I called my mom on the way home from our trip last night and it was late. Asked her to lights out the tank since I dont have them on an Automated timer yet.

    She said the new wrasse was out. and She fed him some freezedried mysis. lol and it ate that... Things are looking ok so far for the new wrasse. No disease yet. and Out and about on occasions but when she is she is eating.

    I bought (impulse of course!) a leopard about 4 months ago. It was gone for a week and I was totally baffled. Then he came out and is the first out of bed and the last to go to sleep. He's active and eats just about anything I drop in the tank. Frozen food is mainly what I feed (brine/mysis) and he's doing very well. I'm sure it'll come out and start flying around the tank before you know it.

    I'm trying another bluestar leopard wrasse.I found out the tangs I had were chaseing everythin new to death.I traded them in and restocked and all is going much better now.The new leopard wrasse is eating everything I put in and gets up and goes to bed like clock work.
