What You Feed: Frozen varieties and dry seaweed delight

After 3 weeks, I managed to kill it, but my ammonia was too high for too long. Totally my fault. She ate almost out of my hand. She was pretty active, but not quite as much as clowns. She hid more when she started suffering.

What You Feed: Frozen, pellets

This fish is always swimming around and I haven’t had any issues with it being aggressive. It is in a 125 gallon so idk if that’s what helps with its temperament but it has been a model citizen fish. Update- recently has started to bite me when I do maintenance and messes with any new additions that are smaller than it don’t think I would buy again.
