    It is, but while re-arranging my tank, the "hang out" spot as moved to where I can't see the fish lol. Now I have to do something about that lol. 8)

    Try feeding in the front of the tank every time you Feed. That way, when you walk up to the tank, they'll be in the front.

    OH, I will get them back to their normal spot lol. I just need to wait for things to settle down. I don't want to stress them out to much since I just totally re-arranged their home without asking their permission lol. But it isn't like they help move stuff around, so they could hang out where I can see them since I did all the work for them and made more caves and stuff lol. ;D

    That is a good suggestion as well.

    Wrasse Died

    Lol, I know what you mean right. :)

    On another note, I came home from our family walk around the neighborhood and my wrasse was dead and the snails are already on him. He was fine before I left, so I am guessing since all the other fish are acting normal, that he just got to stressed out with all the movement today in the tank.

    Thanks man, I'm really kind of bummed out about it. I have no idea why he died. He has been perfectly healthy the whole time I've had him. He looked normal as well. I didn't see anything out of the norm in his behavior and I didn't notice anything on his body after I noticed him dead on the sand. :confused:
