I work in a thankless profession. Usually by the time I enter the picture the customer is HEATED. When I fix the problem, it’s just “expected”. There’s not often gratitude. That being said, I try to express my gratitude where I can.
I have been trying since I started my tank to get a Cirrhilabrus Rubeus. I finally got an email that it was in stock at a time that I was ready for it. So I ordered it. I figured if I was paying for shipping I might as well add a Filefish (Tomentosis) to try and get the Aiptasia out. (Nothing else has worked)
I have not had good luck with shipping fish in the past so I was worried but I can’t find this wrasse anywhere else. Let me tell you I am thrilled! These fish are fat, healthy looking and as happy as one might expect after riding cross-country in a bag. They both actually ate a few hours after acclimation and entering their QT.
Thank You @LiveAquaria for two beautiful fish.
Ignore my dirty glass. The pose of the wrasse was too perfect to pass up posting this one.
