| Are things starting to go wrong...???? One day, realised that the Yellow Feather duster wasn't in a good position for flow. I hadn't sunk the base of it in the sand but had poked it into the rocks where it had been fine for weeks. Next thing I realise is finding it out of it's tube. Advice at the Fish store was to euthanise it because once out, they don't generally survive. I thought I knew better so left it for a few days in the hope it was moving to an area of better flow and would build another tube. Wrong ! Clearly the Skunk Cleaner shrimp thought otherwise and cleaned him up.
3 or 4 weeks later, decided to add a Six-Line Wrasse. Looked a really good addition to the tank and the layout with all of the holes and crevices seemed to suit him really well.
Unsettled the Catalina Goby a bit though but got to see a bit more of him too competing for food more and a bit more active around the tank.
Unfortunately, the Goby who's shown signs of white spot from time to time, had another outbreak. No chance of getting a treatment tank going (wife factor) so knocked up the temperature to 78 deg F to see if that would help and started offering garlic impregnated Omega One Marine pellets.
Whilst the fish didn't seem too interested, the hermit crabs did. Made sure that I didn't overfeed. |
