Awww u may actually be right about that...I guess I'll just try turning my flow back down some...I cranked it way up to make sure my mandarin was getting enough oxygen
Funny the other day I put a spare light on my QT where my bangaii and court jester are at and my jester all the sudden came out of hiding like he was doing for the last week so that's awesome...I don't think my card new he was even in there because now there constantly swimming together

Ok the bangaii Cardinal and court jester goby came out of QT today and into the DT...here's a couple terrible pics lol
So I now have: 10 fish
1 pj card
3 chromis
1 Royal gramma
1 scooter blenny
1 red scooter
1 mccoskers flasher wrasse
1 bangaii card
1 court jester goby
My next addition will be either a tiger watchman once again...a purple or exquisite firefish...a Midas blenny or a mag foxface...I will likely go with the tiger and Midas blenny at the same time and then the firefish and fox will finish off my peaceful fish list and then onto the semi aggressive list

yeah I went with the court jester because out of that one and the hector goby I tend to see the hector the most in stores and ppls tanks...
just got the strainer in the mail today from BRS for my sump...which is what I was waiting for before I put the goby in just in case he found his way into the sump...the strainer is gonna work out perfect though...thanks for letting me know of it forbis
on another note...my scooter blenny and red scooter really are trying to mate...I don't think the brown one understands that its not the same type of fish or maybe really doesn't care just wants some action lol...but yeah anyways like I said he changes all different types of colors and dances in front of her and just today im noticing them sticking together as they start swimming together up to the top of the tank just as I have seen them in the you tube videos of scooters mating...I guess she has finally accepted his invitation lol

ok quick update...today I ordered 3 female ignitus anthias "flame anthias" and 2 two spot gobies from saltwater.com and they should be here Friday...I was originally going to buy the tiger gobies like I had done before but this time the website did not have them so I went with the two spots...I will post pics and or vids in the next few days...
could someone help me out with what salinity saltwater.com ships there fish out at? I ordered once before from them but have forgotten what they come at...I thought it was something like .019 or .021? just wanna have my QT all ready to go when they get here that's all thanks as always

well that didn't go well im sorry to say...my 2 spots would not even sift sand...I tried all I could to get them to eat they would occaisionally pick at pellets that I would toss in but would lose interest real quick...anyways after a week they both died...this will be the last time I order these 2 fish any other way then from the divers den...
I also had no luck with the 3 anthias...they to would not eat very well...I had these 3 in a 20 gallon tall QT and after about a week one after another started dropping...idk what happened with these 3 especially when the most of the things I read say the care level is easy...so idk makes me a little nervous to order any more of them
from now on no matter what fish it is...I will be ordering from the divers den...you might pay a tiny bit more but sooooo worth it instead of buying the same fish over and over again...
on another note my dad put his 2 butterflies "pearlscale" "auriga" into his 125 gal 2 weeks ago after being in QT and they are still looking great

well I know that two spot gobies are in the difficult to expert care level so I should know better then to keep trying with these unless I get them from divers den...but yes my court jester sifts and eats whatever else just fine as well as my dads diamond and my brothers golden head...can't remember what fish book it is I have but on a scale of 1-5...1 being "leave the fish in the ocean" the 2 spot was a level 2 difficulty...
and yes jay I will be getting a magnificent fox and a flame angel...the flame will be added last with my maroon clown maybe not the same time but those two will be my last two fish...

Yeah I figure a maroon is one of not the most aggressive clowns and probably the most aggressive fish that will end up in the tank so best to add it last...trust me it's very hard for me not to have gotten one already lol
My dads got a fox lo in his tank now for a couple months and it's doing very well
