It's not the night of the living hydroids taking place here... those things are not killing your fish. There really seems to be some kind of Illness taking place... Ich will typically be noticeable long before it results in death. Especially in hardy fish like clowns, they will often times...

Yeah, you will find that they will reproduce fine if there's a good/safe place for them where they cannot be eaten... sump, filter, refugium, live rock, etc. Enough to stay established with the Scooter Blenny already present in a new tank? Not sure...

And copepods are tiny little crustaceans. They are healthy for your system (they are also part of a CUC) and they will be a live food source for things like dragonettes. Depending upon the source of your live rock you may already have a presence of them... but you can purchase them...

Yes.. You're going to want to get yourself an RO unit.. even a small cheap one is pretty decent... you can pick up an RO buddie for like $60 and it makes 50 gallons a day. With the amount of water changes you are going to be doing you are absolutely going to want to prepare your own water.. not...

She listed it above...

That's fine... If you actually see them eating it. My shrimp only eat fresh/frozen food like mysis, brine, blood worms, chopped fish etc.. What size tank is the sailfin currently in? Because they need a much larger tank than your 29 gallon... but anyways. Aside from all that... You definitely...

Is your scooter blenny accepting prepared food already? As far as a clean up crew is concerned all's you really have is 4 snails right now. Sure the shrimp may forage for excess food left in the tank and some people would consider that part of the CUC package. But personally I do not. The main...

No problem.. glad I could help. I think it's awesome that you were able to bring him home and put him in your tank. I did that with a small mouth bass in a freshwater tank once. I felt a more personal connection to him being the one that harvested him. Looks like a pretty cool fish. Good luck...

Thanks... lol.

I thought it looked like it was related to the lantern basslet so I started there

Serranus subligarius

No... I'd say that it is in the Serranus genus,basically a sea bass/basslet also known as the Belted sandfish

If someone out there has a blue striped tamarin wrasse that they don't want I'll gladly take care of it for you.

Haha.. gotta love triggers! Like the humu humu but they get all fat and look like little swimming footballs. Niger all the way... clown triggers are up there too.

So hard to choose a favorite. Yellow tangs are great... I'd have to say Green mandarin simply for it's beauty or lunar wrasse not only for its appearance but it's acrobatics and personality.

Yeah that's not good. Sounds like he's on his way out...

Yeah at 6 inches he should not be a very finicky eater. I'd be concerned somethings wrong with him. A fish that large is going to be pretty hardy and won't be starving to death without food too quickly. Just watch him for other signs of illness and continue trying too feed him every day but have...

Wow that's tough. A week is a long time especially with the variety of foods that you have offered it. And the Blue throat is pretty hardy and usually easy to get feeding. Especially with frozen food like mysis. Did you get the opportunity to see him eat before you got him? Causes for not eating...

I can't help but think that if you were using tap water then that's the problem. It will def take time to remove most of the heavy metals etc from your entire system.

Imforbis.. good idea switching to RO water if you were using tap. That is sure to create algae problems for you. And Yeah out competing for a food source like Bang guy said definitely helps. But in my experience you will have algae appearances in your system even if all of your parameters are in...
