Trying to get rid of this flametail blenny so i can get another bicolor.

flametail kills snails, nips at corals and dusters. got to go. also, it doesn't really eat algae like my bicolors always have.

 

Hey sorry to hear about the wrasse. That's weird how quick it died. Anyway tanks looking great as always.

 

Good luck with the flametail, never heard of a blenny killing snails but I haven't researched them much because they can be occasional coral nippers.
I just had to trap my McCoskers last night and it took me a little while to find the correct placement for the trap so they could find the correct entrance and not bash their noses on the plastic sides trying to get in that way. Once I got it in the proper position to channel them in it didn't take more than 10 minutes, good luck!

 

CAUGHT HIM

took 27 hours

off to the LFS!


they better still have the bi color i picked last week. goin to get some molly's too... fun fun

 

Any updates?

 

Yes, I got the bi color. It's very tiny. I was looking at the Mollys and decided they were kind of boring.

So I went back to the SW section and found a smallish, healthy looking coral beauty. It's on hold now. I'll get it next week if it's still looking good.

It has a current tank mate of some blenny. They "assure" me once that blenny sells, they won't add any other fish to this specific box... as if they're not all interconnected anyway... I guess it "sounds nice".

Anway, the blenny I did get is doing really well so far.


Also, apparently, at Aquarium World, once you've had a fish for >2 months its value declines (WTF). So since I have had that evil flametail for 4 months (it was 30 bucks "new") they'd only give me 8 bucks credit : pretty irritating. and dumb IMO. whatever.

 

Just like women, they older they get the less they're worth. LOL

 

i really envy your tank. Its awesome. I plan on setting up my 40 gallon in a very similar fashion.

 

I tactfully give no comment

hey thanks! This is my first SW tank - it's been a lot of fun. feels good to hear things like that ;D
