Ughh, so sorry to hear that. Hopefully he can hold on for a few more days, and you can keep giving him vitamins in his food.

maybe its like you said...a rock smashed his tail. Sorry to hear about the loss. I'd say try again.
I would have considered this as an idea until looking last night and his entire tail is now gone.

made a water bottle trap. Put in a nice raw shrimp from package wifey had for dinner.
Caught............
The peppermint shrimp
The pom pom crab (twice)
A Nassarius snail (twice)
A small bristle worm
This over the course of two days and nights. Seems any nasty creature would have been enticed into shrimp deli. Starting to believe that the bluespot was maybe not as healthy as I thought. He has passed. The pajama cardinal has passed. The only fish left is the purple firefish who is doing wonderfully.
Over the past weekend I added a pair of Black Occelaris. They are beautiful! And I think they are in WUV! They do not leave each others side. Now I need to think about where I am going from here. I am hoping that they eventually see the frogspawn and wish to make a relationship with it.

I love all the beautiful coloring in your tank with all the different corals and stuff its great, I am new to this site but have been searching and researching for some time now so I know what to do with my tank, I am new at all this and want to do good with my tank, so far so good, of course the waiting game sucks but its ok.

i am not sure how you can tell if they are a pair but you can tell their sexes but their size. once they are together the bigger one becomes the female. and i think she will do some kind of dominance "dance" that will be pretty obviouse. someone please correct me if im wrong. but very nice choice spanko i love the black occelaris!

thats too bad about your fish. Your bait trap sounds liked it worked a bit too well, thats pretty funny. Sounds like you got a couple of hot and heavy Occelaris! that would be sweet once they hosted!
Yeah well I know how to catch things if I need to in the future. Don't feed for a few days and get the water bottle and some scampi in there.
My wife kept saying why are they fluttering like that are they sick.

How do you know if they are a pair or not, I just got one and am thinking maybe I need to get another for this one I have and was wondering how you can tell their sexes? Or can you? I wish you the best on your tank.
Not sure If you can tell their s.e.x.e.s by any physical means. someone else may know. But if you buy two that are relatively the same size they will s.e.x themselves. They are hermaphrodites and as they are together one will become female and grow larger while the other will be the male and stay smaller.
