Unfortunetley now all I can get is a lesson of what I need to know for next time. I watched Buster sudden rip aross the tank
upside down gills flared and mouth wide open, knowing he was suffocating then died. At least that is what I could tell. I have three damsels 25lbs of live sand to start and cycled the tank for 6 weeks. Every week I have the water tested by my local pet shop.
They said I was ready to add a couple of nicer fish, but that was it
for risk of overcrowding of course. Salinity 1.0205. Temp average of 80 . The porkfish and harelquin I picked up a week ago were in the same tank together for a few weeks eating well and doing fine with each other. I fed the those two fozen squid and the rest flakes. As was
well for about 8 days until the tusk was getting a little clear slime on his tail (air bubbles sticking to it). No spots or abraisions on any of the fish. The rest are doing fine. though Porky is missing his friend searching the tank high and low for him.
