You SHOULD try and get the mystery wrasse to spawn. Captive bred=moneys.

sure ill shell out anoter 220$ for a female.

Long tem investment man, long term. They pay for themselves after one brood.

yeah but there is a 0.0001% chance of that ever happening.

TODAY IS THE BIG DAY.


Also... I walked by my dark tank and saw... A PAPPARMANT SHRAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought for sure the mystery ate him.

Tank is looking awesome man ... looveee the choice of fish in there ... I want a Mystery Wrasse now ... totally get the female ... and get them to make babies!

Lets hope so, Im looking for a female now.


MOre SPS added to the tank, monticap and acro.

Haha not sure what I said had any impact on this, but sorry for costing you another $220. It'll be worth it hopefully.

Wow....Nice PIcs and Upgraded light!!!!! I got a mystery and can never get a good shot of him...but by far the favorite thing in my tank...Good stuff man!!!

The firefish will probably be pulled soon as they are too peaceful for what my reef is becoming. Might keep them for the leopard wrasse sake.

Is that a Tek fixture? Looks like mine!

Tek 6 bulb, single reflector goodness. yep.

Very pretty stuff, and I like your stocking choices!

Nice work!

Thanks man

I used to rep Marina... I miss Monterey .

Where are you at now?

The Bay.

Word.



Added a Leopard wrasse last night and she was really starved and I didnt notice it at work because she was eating and swimming just fine. Well I added him to the tank and she went to the sand bed and swam around a little bit. Then she did the death fall... BOOM.. on her side breathing heavy. The fish was presumed 99.9% dead. I picked her up and put her into my overflow box and gave her some oxygen... she seemed to perk up a little bit and escaped into the display only to fall to the sand, swim then do the death fall.

Later that night I made a mixture of phyto/oyster eggs/mysis/brine/plankton/vita-chem and held the wrasse in my hand and forcefed her. She spat most of it out but I'm pretty sure she absorbed a little something because I used such small foods. She perked up a little bit, swam around for several minutes this time and then hid in the back of my rockwork. At least none of the other fish showed agro against the leopard she I thought for sure the leopard was going to die behind my rockwork I bonded together over time... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Well, The next day I woke up to find my leopard dead on her side in the same spot behind my rockwork. Damnit... I was trying to figure out why my elite CUC didn't destroy the wrasse over the 10 hours since I last saw her. Well, I managed to get a small skewer into a hole in the rockwork and poked the corpse. BAMMMM!!! The wrasse woke up and popped out into the front of the tank.. only to swim around for a few minutes and then fall to her side again. I conjured another micro mix with an eye dropper to forcefeed her again since she managed to make it through the night. I picked up the wrasse and gave her some more yummyness and squirted some at the other fish because they wanted in on the situation.

The wrasse started swimming around and kept getting dangerously close to my jawfish' burrow. She landed right on top of the jawfish front door! I quickly grabbed the eye dropper filled with food and began to feed the jawfish so he the wrasse could swim away.... Now the wrasse is on her side again in the front of the tank breathing heavy again which is where we are at now.

yeah....

Bummer dude.

Sounds like your doing all you can... im hopeful the leapord will pull out of it.

I hope so.

Sad to hear about the leopard, tank looks great under those T5's though. Definitely a good move.

Thanks man, hes propped up now, mot moving too much still.
