    Thanks now to see if I can get it to survive, I wasn't having much luck lately in the old tank with new adds of fish.

    have you checked your water quality? over time existing fish will adapt to worsening conditions but any new fish you add will be shocked and die.

    I think it was a combo of things, not a long enough time spent acclimating on my part, I may have had a bacterial issue in the old tank (dinos) and the LFS feeds very heavy to overcome the fact that the fish come in starving.

    It looked good in the store and was active. Color looks great so I am hoping it will do well.

    I pulled a dozen little ones from the scutes this morning. They are supposed to attach pyrams and fire worms.
