i have a regal tang (Paracanthurus hepatus) and a canary blenny (Meiacanthus oualanensis) in a hyposalinity QT. been there for 28days. also a orange back fairy wrasse (Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis) in a 5yr old 20gal reef i use for needed feeders as a QT. i soooo sooo much want to add them now. the tang mainly. just to :fun2: the tilefish one good time. make him timid like he is supposed to be:rolleye1:. i still can not believe this one, not both, is so mean. :furious: he even goes after the neon goby. the only fishes he doesnt go after his the other tilefsh and the firefish. EEERRRRR he is really going after everyone. just today he started to do this. before everone got along. well before being the last three days. it start right after i did a water change. :mad2: i think i am going to add them and just do some extra water changes for the next month or so. ok, i vented enough.
