I will order some pods for you!!!

BTW is the Melanarus a male or female?

I think some pod and supplements would be great, don't know if it's male or female yet. I took a chance on a really great deal and figured if it didn't work out I could always drop one of him/her in one of your tanks.

Beautiful fish!!!

Looks like a female to me.

Wow, a lot of good reading. Thanks for that. The melanarus starting eating pe mysis last night. The leopard is still hiding but has ventured out a couple times. I hope I can pull this off without any loss!

Leopard came out today and gobbled up a couple mouths fulls of pe mysis. He seems calm and happy. Life is good!

why don't you just get a shark instead?

 

[fish scales2]

He has one! In his 65 gal:yes:

Randy, how are the new wrasses doing? I saw them the day you picked them up from the store. Gorgeous fish!

The melenurus is up and about everyday about 3:00pm and the leopard has only come out a few times but that appears normal. They are both eating pe mysis with a vengeance. They are absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier, other than knowing my first fish, six line, has to go bye bye... Thanks for your comments.

Yeah, I lost my Melanurus the week of the snow storm after him seeming healthy for over a month. I didn't treat with Prazi.

Sorry to hear that Brian, do you intend on trying another? We missed you at the gathering last night...next time.

Absolutely! As soon as I get all of the gobies on my list settled into the tank, and let the flatworms populate a little more I'll get another. They're great fish! Beautiful colors, and great personalities.

I'm sad I missed it. I really like the idea of having more meetings, especially if they're hosted in someone's home. I'll be sure to bring some homebrew to the next one!
