impur Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 My fish list is now complete. Picked up a sweet little potters angel on Sunday from Garrett's, its the perfect size! And wouldn't you know, he had a leopard wrasse he was hiding from me!!! So i snagged that as well, have ALWAYS wanted a leopard wrasse, and both made it home safe & sound. They are in a 22gal cube currently for observation and treatment. Both snacked on some mysis a few hours after acclimation so i'm excited! I'll get pics up tonight!! Thanks again Garrett and it was great to hang out for awhile with ya Roger (rock2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePremiumAquarium Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Glad I could finally get a Potters in for ya! Those suckers have been a bit tricky to track down the last couple of months. The leopard looked pretty killer too so I am glad you found that guy! Thank for driving up to grab them! I am with Charles! I wanna see some pics!

impur Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Went home at lunch to spend some time with my boy and snapped a few pics. Here is the QT setup the angel is tougher to get a shot of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Funny that you posted this. I was just thinking about how the fish were doing. I am glad you had a great "experience" at the shop. Good seeing you and the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Both were very active yesterday when i got home from work, and both munched on some mysis. The potters is doing some scratching, that is the only thing i am worried about so far. I plan to start treating with cupramine on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 The leopard is a female, Macropharyngodon meleagris i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Well.........................................they didn't even make it 4 hours after the first part of the treatment was started. I don't get it, I even under dosed, and tested as well - total copper concentration was under .25mg/l. They ate, were very active, I added 36 drops of Cupramine (directions call for 44), went back to work and they were dead within hours. The angel went right away, and the wrasse took about 4 hours. Sucks, those will be the last 2 fish I ever try :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks, those will be the last 2 fish I ever try :( I am very sorry to hear that my friend. I don't like to quarantine with meds for this exact reason. I find that having one setup with copper that has been circulating for some time helps with my success rate but even then I just don't like doing it.

impur Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I hear ya, I just can't bring myself to add fish that haven't been treated. I REALLY don't want to lose my clowns as i've had them since I got into the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Maybe just treat with gradual hypo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
