So I woke up today to 2 inches of snow and snowing, and the airport shut down, so my packages were stuck over an hour away, all the fedex and ups drivers had to go over the hill and pick them up. The snow is still on the ground but I was able to pick up my fish a little after noon. She is doing great and eating already. She is less than half his size but no aggression what-so-ever between the two of them, they have just been sitting within about an inch of each other. We narrowly averted a catastrophe this morning. Last night after the lights went out in the 10, my wife unplugged all the pumps and power-heads to feed the corals. She forgot to turn them back on and this morning she wakes me up bawling at 6:30 "I killed the fish" so I freaked out went down stairs and sure enough, the male red fin was stuck to the size of the power-head looking dead. I was miffed, I touched him with the net and he burst into life thrashing about. Thank goodness he pulled through and is back to normal this evening. Hopefully it didn't shave years off his life. It has just been one of those days. My brother-in-law ended up snowed in here and he is going through a bad separation..... trying to take care of my new fish and everything... I had no time for pictures and everything. So I will put in some pictures tomorrow. Good news is the zebra lion is accepting anything I give him on a stick today and I was able to release him and he is still eating chunks of jumbo prawn on a stick. So now I will work on fortifying some of the foods I give him and keep them healthy and looking good. I will update as soon as I get the chance with pictures. Thanks in particular to Cranberry, heaven sent for aggressive fish and newbies with them. Hopefully your knowledge and love of the animals spreads so these fish no longer die in uneducated aquarists tanks. I am sure sax man is pretty great too, but I have received most of my help from the Cran.
