WV Reefer Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 🎶Well you know my name is Simon, and I like to do drawings🎶 — not really, but this is Simon. A few months ago I ordered a Yellow Banded and it died almost immediately from shipping stress I assume. I really wanted the Tanaka anyway and got lucky with this guy. 😊 10 Quote Link to comment

That’s how Altuve is. He wants to follow me around the tank but if I stop and look at him he runs off and hides like AAARGH!! Fish with personality are funny 2 1 Quote Link to comment

He's at 62DPH so we'll be getting those little fellers captive bred soon. 5 Quote Link to comment

WV Reefer Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Well, apparently Simon died. He looked great yesterday and then bam! Dead. 😐 I guess it will stay just Nemo and the Fat Boys. 9 1 Quote Link to comment

StinkyBunny Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Mother Nature has been warning us for years and we're seeing the fall out of it now. Fish I never had issues with back in the 70s, 80s and 90s are problematic now. Some of it is climate change, some is due to collection and holding practices. 5 Quote Link to comment

The only fish from LA and Blue Zoo I bought that are still alive?? The murdering clown pair and the clowns in the big tank. They’re almost like cockroaches. Seeing this trend with your fish and mine I may quit buying and shipping stuff. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment

StinkyBunny Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Just wait till y'all buy something from DD/LA that wipes out your whole tank. The only place that I've heard good from is AquariumFishSale.com. A few of my customers used them and said they had good luck with their fish, both marine and freshwater. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment
