Clowns can actually be hard to get started eating. How much did you feed that wasn't eaten? If you over fed you might have had an amonnia spike.

Sorry bad joke; this is your thread right?

Multiple personality disorder???

LOL. I didn't see the name at first, I was thinking well what is it??? Then I re-read your post " Upscales Macrolades" good name I like it

Did Travis name the first one?

Oh cool, thanks noob

I've got to know, is this from a pet store or???

My marine bio instructor told our class about his pet octopus he kept on his desk. He said his Provos (his boss) came into his office one day, looked into the aquarium and got inked in the face!!! The best part was he really didn't like his boss he said the octopus didn't like her either. LOL. (laugh)

SOLD.....

I have been wanting one, I would have to re-home my flame angle though... And then I would have to cross my fingers because my giant RBTAs kill everything! :(

Bottom of first page is #9. He must of got excited and not realized there were three pages. LOL. (laugh)

Oh ya for those of you who don't know this fish is from Japan and is one of the few COMPLETELY reef safe angles.

Mine is Large with streamers if you were to add a female or two I'm sure she would turn male, that was my plan. http://www.bluezooaquatics.com/productdetail.asp?cid=8&did=1&pid=164

It does suck, they are my favorite fish too. I have heard of achillies being completely covered in ick with out a single spot being present on any of the other fish. :( Your totally right about chasing fish with a net making things worse, IMO the same goes for putting fish in cramped quarters for long periods of time. By dropping the SG in the display I feel that I diverted the stress and risk onto the corals, it was a hard decision but in the end I am much more attached to my fish and I feel that the stress put on the coral would be far less than the stress would be for the fish. It's just unfortunate that I can't remove the angle now. :( I think I am just going to have to find someone who will take the angle in advance (someone with a QT ) and then deliver 6 days later. If anyone reading this is interested in the angle she would be free on the condition you can adequately provide for her IE you would need to have experience and a large enough system. I have grown really attached to this angle and only want her to go to a good home.

I actually lowered the salinity slowly to avoid that, it also gave the ick a fighting chance. After two months if I had no beneficial bacteria my fish would have all died from ammonia long ago. LOL. You do make a good point though and it is a real concern for anyone who decides to hypo their display.

I totally agree, I think stress is the reason fish can't fight off ick. However I also believe you can rid a tank of ick. I guess what it comes down to was I wasn't willing to risk loosing the fish. Ick can explode if you create the perfect storm of stress and susceptible fish ie tangs and I had a bad feeling that I had done exactly that.

I have had ick in the system for over two years, it's come and gone but never really been an issue. Then I added two new fish, a yellow tang and swallowtail angle. The yellow got the ick pretty bad and I didn't want to loose either of the new fish so I decided to rid the tank once and for all. At this point I am seriously considering taking them out of hypo (I literally only see one spot) and removing the angle. The blue is really stressed by the presence of the angle and I belive this is why he can't kick that last spot that keeps showing up. I really wish I could just re-home the angle but you have to bring fish out of hypo slowly.

The worst part is the temporary tank I setup for the coral was never intended to be up this long. All it has is a Koralia for flow and a compact fluorescent for light. My nems don't seem to mind though, I just have to remember to get put a heater in there...

Sounds like you might just have a trouble maker on your hands. LOL

Bummer, I haven't heard of this before. Are you feeding him cyclop ezee??? I do know that they can be hard to feed.

I have a feeling no one here want this... LOL. Anyways maybe someone does. This is a Sector 9 city crusher complete with a new paint job. My buddy used auto body paint. The bearings are pretty shot but new one are only $10, other than that this thing is ready to ride!!! I'm looking to get $40 for it.

Anyone need a white wii? I just bought a new black one for my sons birthday. So what I have is the wii all the cords and one controller (no games). This thing works great for watching Netflix and Hulu Plus on your tv (if you are a subscriber). It also works great for playing games. The controller does not come with a nun chuck though. Anyways $40 if you want it

LOL, I always make the mistake of driving the Mercedes to the LFS. (laugh)
