:dance:
I've been shopping around for a while for a new fish for my 90g. I picked up a kole tang earlier this year which did not end up working in my tank. After I removed the tang I needed something else. I currently have a pair of clowns, male melanurus, and a male linespot flasher.
I ended up finding a few fish that I never see in town at a two LFS on the other side of Atlanta from me. The first was a female 8line flasher. She was in a tank with a pair of clowns and the store owner said they've had her pretty much all summer after selling the male. They tossed in some pellets and after seeing her chow down, they bagged her up for $50 :dance: Next store had a male royal that was chilling under a frag rack for a few weeks. They were able to dig him out later that week when they cleaned the tank out. He's also eating pellets with gusto.
So now I've had the 8line in QT for 2 weeks and the royal for a week. Both are becoming more bold when I enter the room wanting food. I do a WC every 3 days on the tank. Today I did my first prazipro treatment after a WC. I fed them a little and happy to say they're still attacking the pellets like before. If everything goes as planned I'll put them in the DT around Thanksgiving.

Ignore the crap in the tank, I was away for 3 days and took the pics before I did my WC :p
