jedimasterben Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Tank looks pretty bad.I would just normally dose a little bit of peroxide (the nem doesn't care too much about 3% being dosed directly), but I've literally purchased three bottles from three different stores and three different brands and every ####ing one of them hasn't contained any peroxide. I couldn't get a single bubble to fizz on my hand, on some dirt from outside, or directly on some of this algae. What the hell is going on in peroxide manufacturing? Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 I was getting worried after I put it into the tank that it was not a pygmy filefish, but instead a matted filefish, which is not reef safe. Filefish can change their color and pattern to match their surroundings, so I wasn't too worried when it was in a pretty bare QT, but in the display it wasn't getting the nice spots that all the ORA fish have. Well, more research into non-ORA origin fish lead to very, VERY different looking fish of all kinds of colors, most without the brown with white spots like the ORA fish. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Some of you may know that filefish will sleep in and rest in a thicket of coral, gorgonians, rock, etc, and will sort of 'latch on' with their mouths so they'll stay attached. My filefish isn't smart enough to choose a gorgonian that is not directly in the outflow of the gyre and so it gets whipped back and forth Link to comment

neuwave Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Nice Filefish. I keep telling myself that one of these days I'll get one. I'd be stoked if I could find the Minute filefish. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Well, I'll no longer need to worry about if it is an impostor or not, found it stuck inside of one of the eductors this morning. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 After making it through quarantine and being conditioned, eating whatever I put in front of it. I knew it would probably take a bit to get used to the flow, but I didn't figure it would truly have any issues with it since they latch onto something for the night and shouldn't let go. It did Link to comment
