It's Just a Tank

Definitely cooled off some steam with a Weekend get a way with the family. Saw some people we hadn’t seen in years! Great weekend, and lovely to go to sleep at 3 o clock in the morning to wake up at 7 :grinning-face-with-sweat:
My backs been killing me, so ive been gathering my rest. Sadly, they meant having to hear the shiba scream because she couldn't figure out why I was resting.

The doberman knows. Not all dogs are created equally.

Tangs will still remain identified as cats by me, now and forever!
 
The mirror trick.

Tangs vs mirrors ( I will end you).
Cats vs mirrors (you will die).

And then we got the loyal hound dog vs mirrors (who is that???? Intruder alert!? Umm..)


Now does a mirror work for wrasses? never has for me. Anyone else?

Some of the cats are just playing with their reflection cats. :face-with-tears-of-joy:


Also wrasse, unlike dogs and cats, are too intelligent for mirrors:

It does work great for tangs.. wears them out and everyone can sleep well after a new introduction haha!

My point exactly!

Wrasses, are on a league of their own. But tangs and cats....

Have a lot in common.

Hmmm. I wonder if catnip and laser toys work on tangs. Maybe cats enjoy the great taste of GHA? :thinking-face::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing::grimacing-face:

Only the short strands. Once it becomes long they become indifferent to it, then it's back to ambushing your ankles when you come down the stairs.

I know laser toys work on angels… my buddy uses one to keep his angel from eating his Sps lol..

I’ll be really impressed though if we could teach our tangs to meow and hiss. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Larger angelfish, some puffers, and some triggers have a grunt. You'd think a stray animal broke into your house if you didn't know better.
 
Scarface grunted at me yesterday when he was up in the corner splashing water out.... I didn't know Hippo Tangs had vocalizations.

That's a first for my knowledge. I'm sure that caught you off guard.

Must have learned it from Timmy.
 
So, h. Leucoxanthus went into hiding after getting attacked by the cbb earlier this morning. Now he's making random attacks on the chrysus. Is the part if them being yellow triggering aggression?

Clown tang calms down, cbb acts up...

I'm tired of fish drama.

Just got done programming my auto doser. Now hoping it doesn't fail.

Edit: Leu surfaced after 10 am today, her mouth looked like she got into a fight and my guess is, the solare wrasse was responsible. All day leu has kept on the other side of the tank away from the solare. He will be getting a new home.

The cbb, might just be a jerk and had no part in the injury. I am still watching. Rocks were redone, cbb and scopas are confused. Clown tang changed home from left of the tank to the right side. Right side belonged to the scopas. Waiting to see how new territories form.
 
Haven't posted in a while. I'm exhausted.
This weekend, i have been trying to capture the solorensis. He's a big wrassehole, extremely bold even after relentless attempts. I've killed 5 or 8 hammer coral heads.

I knew solirensis were bold and could have an attitude. I was not expecting one worse than a melanurus or exquisite wrasse could possess. He's almost acting like he's a six line. He's just slower...

Canopy off this weekend, rock getting removed. Solorensis getting sumped.

Ps... ribbon eels are NOT messy waters.

That is shocking. They are a larger fairy but I’m still surprised. Guess I’m staying away from those fairies.
I hate having to disassemble a tank but I had to for my murderous hawkfish and didn’t lose anything. IMG_3628.jpeg

Yeah the thing about eels being messy eaters is weird. They eat their food whole? That’s like the opposite of messy.
Was this prompted by something? I have a guess of who but I won’t say.
