Copperband update… 👀
Making progress.
He’s officially off brine and now eating live oysters way more aggressive feeding than I expected.
But… the tangs are on him.
• Purple Tang leading the charge
• Bristletooth backing him up
Tried the mirror trick helps while it’s there… then they remember him again 😅
And yeah… I went for it.
He’s now in the general population 😂
So far he’s holding his own, staying active, and still eating, but definitely getting tested.
Not calling it a win yet… this fish has humbled me before.
For those who’ve kept one long term—
when did you release yours?
Did aggression ever fully stop?
Big mana the Miami white clownfish how has had 4 partners and killed all but 1, saved him from her at the last moment. She is by herself again
Everything is still waking up but I have a royal gramma I got a week ago and haven’t seen him since adding him to the tank. Took apart all the aio chambers yesterday thinking he jumped behind and nothing. How long should I wait before assuming the circle of life has happened and my cuc already got to him? Haven’t had a big parameter swings. It was the last add to this tank that I wanted. Considering getting another of I don’t see him for another week.
got this orange storm at petco for $50! he’s a bit banged up but i’m hoping i can nurse him back to 100% in a few months
newest addition to the tank.
firefish gobby.
levels are staying 0 for NH3 and NO2
also 2 emerald crabs.
Copperbands doing well, still not eating very much but it’s two days in and he’s at least eating something.
Just added a copperband! He was eating brine and two little fishies wormbitz and decided to pull the trigger. Yellow tangs being a bit of a bully he seems to be avoiding it though
Second try to hatch and raise my tailbot damsel, first try I got some fry and they survived like 5 days I’m not gonna lie is hard this but I enjoy the trip and make me happy that my fishes are so happy in their tank
Spot is a little hurt right now neme wants to hide and gup is busy fixing all the problems in the salt water world… they are taking a break tonight and getting spoiled when the sludge sets

Sorry for the no lens filter. Had to catch the pic quick. My orange clown is camera shy. These lazy jobless little shits dug out this cave and just lay around all day while I’m home. But when I’m gone they are all over the tank. Sticking it to the man traverses species I guess. Side note, They have tried laying eggs with no success thankfully as I don’t have a hatchery tank set up for them yet.
They keep fighting. I have to get rid of one
Picked up this little gem. The first 2 days were rough, the springer was going after her. She's settled in a cave and is swimming freely around it now. The springer seems to have lost interest thankfully. Her tail is beat up but she's all colored up nice and eating fine. I've had several over the years, one of my favorite fish to keep. Colorful, active and in my experience peaceful for a damsel.
