@JasonK84 , how about some vids?!

So I fed again this evening. Everyone is looking much much better. Both melanarus wrasses are swimming and eating, the twistii wrasse is swimming around now (he is the one laying down in the video. I think he does that when he wants to hide cause he was fine a few seconds ago), the magma and flasher are eating great as well!! (Vid below)

ALSO!!! The mandarin ate frozen brine shrimp!!!! Very happy about that!!

Here’s a vid of the $40 pintail gold male @MombasaLionfish

Magma, flasher, and black widow blenny

A few pics

Enjoy!!

I can’t get the videos to play but I’m so glad they are doing better and eating!! The pictures you posted at the bottom I can see and they look good. You’re still at 15 survivors correct?

Where do you get such good prices?

I agree with you. I’m glad it’s not as much bioload

I added a few pieces. Would bleaching and drying them remove it? If not I will just keep it for qt rock

You won't want to use that rock in a DT as it can/will leach copper.

Also since it absorbs copper it can make your treatment less effective if you are trying to keep copper levels stable.

These fish were transshipped to me through livestockusa.org. I worked with Mitch

JasonK84 · Sep 11, 2019

Any updates on the new arrivals?

Yes! All doing good and eating great! The wrasses are really coming out of their shell! I can’t wait until the pintail comes out fully

It actually works out cheaper than buying from retailer because of the quantity you order. Even with as many DOA as I had ( which he said isn’t normal) it is still cheaper than ordering from live aquaria

Thank you! It was just randomly selected and sold as filamentous fairy wrasse. Looks like a black fin male McCosker’s though. Really nice fish. I ended up with two. Want one? Lol

Assuming you stay under 100 lb. I'm guessing you didn't.
