Here is an update..... back in March I purchased livestock and one of them had ich unknown to me. Was late removing the one fish and lost half of the stock except for two. The ich did not show until the fish were stressed. I added a Cinnamon Clown that turned out to be overly aggressive. Pictures will come but for now here is my stock.

Livestock (Main Tank - 65 Hex):

  • (1) Singapore Angelfish
  • (1) Banggai Cardinalfish
  • (1) Firefish
  • (1) Dottyback (half purple, half yellow)
  • (1) Yellow Clown Goby
  • (2) XL Astraea Turbo Snail
  • (2) Blue Leg Crab

Livestock (Quarantine Tank - 10 Gallon):

  • (1) Cinnamon Clown

Dottyback is nasty mean fish!!! :wacko:

Dottyback (half purple, half yellow) had to be moved out of the main display tank. It has been nipping at the Firefish. I had just purchased another Firefish so that there were two, but the new one did not make it because of the dottyback. The Dottyback just keepig getting more and more aggresive. 

It was horrible trying to catch the Dottyback. It is to fast to use a net. I tried a DIY fish trap but that did not work.  I used filter floss to plug up the holes in my rock. I was hoping it would hide in a smaller rock that I could pull from my tank. I lastly tried netting from an oranges net bag. The Dottyback hid in a tall rock tower and I stretched the net over the rock Tower. The Dottyback swam into the net and got stuck in the net and that's how I was able to get it out of the tank. ........ crazy 2 days.
