The Biiiig Update
A week or two ago now, I was finally able to pick up my Vectra :D because the delivery person changed as the previous one was delivery before opening hours that were plastered all over the front of the shop... lol
My homemade attachment has allowed an easy attachment with a little clear pvc tubing :)
Even though I'm only running it on the very lowest setting lol I'm really happy with it :) A little bit of filter pad while I have no sock holder helps lol
Well Friday was one of the best tank days I've had in a while :D it began with a message to a mate that was simply a picture and the statement "let it begin"
(I think I upset him because he couldn't get away from work haha)
Not only did I get to pick up the fish I've had on hold for nearly 2 months now but I also got to pick the other fish from my list that I've been waiting 3yrs for!
The first little guy I got to to cross off my list that I'm absolutely in love with is my liopropoma susumi!! These guys are nice and cryptic like the possum wrasses I want to add and make for a nice contrast to the out and about wrasse :) My little Susy has taken up residence next the clam under it's mantle :) not a great photo but in the bag before going in.
But that's not all... I picked up one of THE COOLEST fairy wrasse there is and the one I've been holding for some time! Now for the equal best bit! lol the one everyone has been waiting for, the one I've been eluding too but not making any mentions of exact details. I've been very cautious about it because it has cost me an arm, leg and my liver.. I wanted to make sure that things went well when he went into the tank :hmm2: And I'm happy to say he's one of the quickest settling fish I've ever had lol starting smashing pellets within hours even though the longfin was picking on him to let him know who's boss! All aggression is now sorted and everyone is happy :D
May I present to you all my absolutely amazing cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis (Golden Rhomboid Wrasse)!!
Funnily enough, this isn't the wrasse I've had on hold for the last little while lol I got in on Friday morning and low and behold there was another one in the stock tanks!! He was half the size of the other guy and a quarter of the colouration as he'd only come in the night before and so he was a little pale and still is a little pale as well but given a month or two he will be even more colourful :D
I'm happy to report that everyone is happy and settled and my wrasse tank is looking very nice lol
My sweetie earmuff is still going strong too!
And while he's a bit of a prick to the carpenters sometimes the longfin is still one pretty fish!
They're all greedy little pigs too! lol
Also what's the point of all these updates if there is no decent FTS lol the tank has cleared up amazingly and the sump and skimmer has made a huge difference!! Not long till we really start becoming acro city again!!!
