jedimasterben Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 No, and maybe. I haven't had luck with dwarf angels. I'd love a trio of them. Link to comment
1.0reef Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 No, and maybe. I haven't had luck with dwarf angels. I'd love a trio of them. Hmmm red spot cardinals? These are very difficult fish to keep. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 red spot cardinals? Like mentioned earlier, they just aren't long-lived. It's already as if i've got disposable fish lol Link to comment
GHill762 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 besides the fact that they look like fw tetras I got into sw for the prettier fish selection.. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 meh, I think the schooling behavior of testras would look badass as part of a reef if they didn't die so easily. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Nothing wrong with tetras or other FW fish. Some of my favorite fish are still guppies. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 endlers If you didn't have those MP40's?? I would say acclimate a huge school of guppies lol Its not the mp40s that get them in my planted tank I have pretty high flow as it is, and my guppy strains do not have really crazy tails, but I can't seem to acclimate anything to saltwater anymore, no mollies, no guppies. I lost my touch Link to comment

hypostatic Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Did you try going realllllllllllllly slow? Like several weeks? maybe longer? one of the LFSs near me actually has a tank with mixed salt/fresh water fish. I almost didn't notice until I saw those freshwater puffers swimming along with tangs!

RollaJase Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Really sorry to hear about the recent losses Ben . Cardinals are awesome, I love my trio of Threadfin cardinals. When I eventually do a SPS dominated reef I am considering doing a school of cardinals over Anthias as they are just easier for me to feed/take care of, not to mention much cheaper haha.

NirvanaandTool Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Yeah, my wife wants maroon clowns, but I keep telling her nope! Not gonna happen lol If any fish dies, its body is completely gone within 12 hours or so. I'm surprised that I found my tang after it died, it literally must have died as I was walking into the house. Wow super clean up crew. What about a Genicanthus angel like a Bellus or Wanatabei? Would be a nice centerpiece fish for the tank and are reef-safe. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Wow super clean up crew. Actually, not really. Besides the two serpent stars that I have, I've only got a few nassarius, but that's it as far as scavengers. I really need to get more nassarius and to get some FL ceriths to live, the last ones I got from Reefcleaners I had two survive out of 20. Next time I order (if I don't collect them myself) I'm gonna go pick them up from John. Link to comment
Jstn Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I had a problem with my FL ceriths when I got them from John; all of mine died. Link to comment
NirvanaandTool Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Well the serpent stars should be able to clean up a corpse all on their own right? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Well the serpent stars should be able to clean up a corpse all on their own right? The large one is around 10" in diameter, the small one is around 8" or so, so they're probably able to if they really wanted it lol Link to comment
Tamberav Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Was probably bristle worms that ate the corpses.. nom nom. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Was probably bristle worms that ate the corpses.. nom nom. Nope, no bristleworms in my tank. Every one of them died when the rock was in holding. The only things on the rock that survived was some of the halimeda and the sideria coral. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Yeah, it really sucks. No copepods, no amphipods, basically nothing on that rock lived. Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I've sent you my cooties. That should fix everything in short order. Come to think of it, didn't I cough and send it to you with a heat pack at Christmas? Don't tell me you wasted my cough. Link to comment

metrokat Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I thought I was the only one. My order of florida ceriths from John was all but dead. Got a replacement in my next order but they didnt make it either. Link to comment
