new fish! red head salon fairy wrasse

Nice addition, just make sure to have some sort of lid on or eventually, it will jump.

 

dang, hrmm well i planned on putting up a net around the tank to prevent fish jumping out. im not putting a full cover across the tank though

 

I was going to start a new thread for this when I had the time, but I'll mention it here real quick. I have a egg crate covering my tank. It's trimmed to fit around all my equipment - there are no gaps anywhere, just the crate openings. I bought a Laboute's Wrasse from Aquatouch on Friday evening ($120). I watched him most of the day on Saturday, he was quite the wonderful addition. Sunday morning he was on the floor. Be careful what you choose to cover with. I think I'm going to take some string and run diagonals across all the holes to keep this from happening again.

 

luckily right now if the thing jumps out the back it'll fall into the sump. if it jumps out of the front it'll hit a wall and fall back in. if it jumps out the left or right side is the issue right now. so im going to put up a vertical net 2ft around the tank. i dont feel like obstructing the lighting with a mesh lid.
