You said it felt like a bee sting, I'm betting you got a dose of toxin. And guess what? There are several Strombids that are poisonous as well. 1 3 Quote Link to comment

StinkyBunny Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Just be careful when you put your hand in the tank. Always know where it is. We used to get them all the time in live rock shipments. 1 Quote Link to comment

The fact that I get soaked if I play in it and now this yup. I've been a bit too cavalier about this whole thing. On the upside my INR results and Blood Pressure are spot on 1 Quote Link to comment

You have a home checker? That’s actually pretty cool. Wish those were around about 10-15 years ago for my grandfather. He was on Coumadin and could never get his INR controlled, but he’d go months in between checks because of how the VA works. 2 Quote Link to comment

Ratvan Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Ok, so last night did a lot of reading, thinking and planning. As much as I want a wrasse in here I am not that willing to "make it fit" so as a result I think that I want to go down the route of having a pair or trio of one of the three types of Possum Wrasse; White Banded Yellow Banded or Tanaka Possum Wrasse So everywhere I have seen that these fish need a minimum of 10G, so three would be okay within the 34G I would assume, that is of course if I can get one dominant male and two females which maybe an issue. I know that my LFS has these in from the suppliers on a fairly regular basis so I am fairly confident that I can order direct from collector/breeder. I however am not too sure what would happen with the DOA guarantee if I do not allow the fish to touch LFS water. Also need to find out what would happen if I am not happy with the specimen and wanted another.... Potential Stocking List Ocellaris Clownfish (Looking "Mocha" now) Tailspot Blenny 3x Tanaka Possum Wrasses That looks pretty full to me? Maybe push it by pairing up the clownfish? How long do I want to wait to get a second clown by the way? Didn't want 2 in the 2.5G Pico Contest Tank Quote Link to comment

I'd certainly would wait until the API ammonia test appears yellow. As far as pairing, you typically just need to find a notably smaller juvenile of the same species. Going for another mocha? 1 Quote Link to comment

Spotted a gorgeous little mis bar but dont know how long to wait as Hantu is fairly young herself will be hard to garuntee smaller. Am I best off waiting for her to grow a bit? 1 Quote Link to comment
