animalmaster6 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Go on CORAL Mags site. I think either this months or last months issue had an article on how to catch fish and inverts. I think they're online, not sure, I just get a subscription Link to comment

bitts Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Bleep. seems the helfrick's gone looking for him. Bleep! Link to comment
ap123 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Sorry about your missing fishes. Link to comment
bitts Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 ok so I don't know how but the mccosker showed up. now here's why I'm such a horrible person. so took all of the rock out of the buckets & placed it in the sump. put new water in the display. got every thing set to move the fish into the display. so I go open the bucket with the fish, but there's no mccosker. just the clowns & helfrick. so after taking out all the rocks to ckeck them, recheck the fish bucket, go back ta check that I didn;t leave him. theres no way that i still have a fish right. so this morning in my display I have a 5" sand bed, one pair of clowns, & a mccosker. I'll assume that if the mccosker has shown up that he had to have been in the tank for the whole move. I have no idea how I could have left him in there. but for now I'm assuming that the helfrick must be around some where to. I'm just having a hard time trying to figure out where you could hide, completely out of sight in a tank with just sand. I'm a horrible person. Link to comment
ap123 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I'm thinking lucky, not horrible. With any luck the helfrich will show up too. Some wrasses bury themselves in the sand, maybe that's where the McCoskers was? Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 That's weird. Maybe he jumped? Link to comment
bitts Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Was wondering if he could have barried himself while I had my back turned. But thought I was deluding myself. Couldent figure out where they would have gone to. any time I'm not facing the tank I put the lid on, & I looked to see if they where on the floor. With out seeing anything. Keeping my fingers crossed that the helfrick will come back out from where ever he is. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I agree with Ann on the wrasses burrying themselves in the sand. No clue where the Helfrich could be. They are master hiders. They can squeeze into the tiniest of spaces. Link to comment
bitts Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 yeah if it wasn't for the lid & the room (floor) being completely empty. so I could see if he jumped. I'd would be a little more worried, but hell the mccosker showed up so we'll see. Link to comment
pyronus Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I'm sure everything will be okay man. This is also why I plan on just getting a purple firefish and not a helfricks, I would have a heart attack if I lost a fish like that. Link to comment
bitts Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 at this point what I'm really worried about is if he's to stressed to come back out in time to stay healthy. I'm pretty comfortable saying that he hasn't jumped. since I think would have found him on the floor. i know it seems weird but its not the price tag that bothers my its the fact that I was responsible for him. In my head losing a fish out of my own negligence is comparable to some one crashing on their way home from the bar. I did it & I can't fix it. Link to comment
bitts Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 on a bright note, I finally got the pesky crab out. aquascaping done. Link to comment
bitts Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 completely off topic but its my thread & WOW!!! mmm... that one looks like a good vacation. all it needs are some palm trees & a white sand beach. to go with it. Link to comment
ap123 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Glad you got the nuisance crab out, and holy MOLY on those pics Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 What if that guy falls! on a bright note, I finally got the pesky crab out. aquascaping done. Yay! New pics Link to comment
bitts Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 What if that guy falls! then theres probable enough him for him to hit terminal velocity. followed by a massive cloud of red mist. its why I try not to go over 20" when I'm bouldering. Link to comment

pyronus Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thats an interesting story. If NPR fired Steve Innskeep they just might become a credible news outlet. You can't have a guy who has no journalistic credibility trying to take the hardline, especially not on NPR. Link to comment
