    That whole thing that you see is kinda his "mouth" with the holes being the place where he actually consumes stuff. Just make sure to thaw them completely this time :cheesy: lol!

    i tried to feed the brain but it didnt take it and my bubble was closed so i put a piece of the silver sides into one of the candy canes heads, should be interesting what happens then i just dumped the rest in the water, i figure the inverts will eat it so why waste it, and while attempting to feeding the bubble i ended up scaring the wrasse away and he is now swimming, the other fish are not asleep as its super early for them to have lights out but they are leaving him alone so far

    Are you referring to the "vertical dancing thing" they do? Mine jumped out of the tank right in front of me. Put it back in and it was fine until it jumped out again later on :p

    hahaha yea that thing it was funny, i havent seen him try to jump out, i know my firefish tried to jump out on the second day but he hit the eggcrate hard and didnt jump again, although i have seen him think about it

    just an update:
    i woke up this morning to find him out and showing of his flashers *i think thats what you call them :/* hes not swimming throughout the tank but he stole my firefish's hoovering spot so now my firefish has find a new area, they two seem like they get along very well and have caught my firefish swimming near him like hey you stole my spot, i cant wait until he starts swimming more, instead of hoovering, i took some pics but i got to get ready for work but when i get back ill post some new ones
