the big tear down
In the process of tear down so I can catch fish for pick up tonight. Did a jury rig with spare rubbermaid, tank and brute containers with every last piece of leftover pvc I could find last night. Now trying to separate the rocks and catch fish (just noticed now the harlequin shrimp need to catch. ). Ugh, going to be exhausted by tonight. Back to work.

Please, please, please this will be the last time, if this is going to be an annual or biannual thing like it's been going, I'm going to get a smaller tank!

Ugh, when the rocks are in the fish dart and hide into the rocks...
when the rocks are out, then they have the whole length of the tank to escape the net

Just had a move myself... Not as big as yours but it was one crazy move down the street... Had a few rocks with encrusted corals that wouldn't fit the bucket so I covered them with wet towels and drove to my new place..

I must have looked really funny all soaking wet from trying to catch those guys since John broke out laughing when I answered the door . Didn't have just wet sleeves this time . When I told my husband I needed a bath before we had dinner he said it looked like I already had one .

Can't thank John enough for dropping it them off. Hope we all catch up again in a future frag swap or gathering.

LOL, pretty much had to to catch that Hawk! He's super smart and it was like a game of chess trying to out smart him. As long as there aren't other type of wrasses (he hated my snooty wrasse) he should be fine.

It was my pleasure John, wish I had more time to chat. But, my little boss called. Hopefully next time. If there's anything I can do, just let me know.
Tina, what do feed your fishes?? Steak diet? These guys are plumped. How many times a day do you feed them. I want to ensure that their eating doesn't change. |
