Aquaph8 · Jan 7, 2012

:tongue: All I can say is that pics never did this beauty any justice, man I love this fish. Im so happy with Bluezoo, they did a great job all around getting this fish to me. I'll post some pics in a bit.

Wow! Had to look it up, sweet!

Brad Syphus · Jan 7, 2012

I'm glad he arrived safe and sound. Is it he or she?

minhvu · Jan 7, 2012

Can't wait for pics. I ordered one from bluezoo also. Mine coming in Thursday

Aquaph8 · Jan 7, 2012

She I believe. Right? Here is a bad pic, its really hard to get decent shots in my QT. The Potters seems to like her. I promise Ill take better (but still pretty bad) pics when she's in the display.

How big is she?

Aquaph8 · Jan 7, 2012

About 4". The Potters is about an inch bigger. Its funny how much happier the potters is now that the kuiters is in there.

Thanks Brad and Bryan, this year is turning out to be great. I found two unicorns so far. I really never thought Id find one of these guys.

Do you have sand in your QT? Just curious cause I'm going to be looking at some other wrasses that will need sand. DT is fine but my QT doesn't have it.

Aquaph8 · Jan 7, 2012

I started with a rubbermaid container with sand but the Potters was scared of the container so I dumped a big pile in the corner for them. Its seems to work well. After the leopards are out of hypo Ill put them in the display and remove all sand from the QT.

Good deal. I saw you suggest that in another thread but wasn't sure thats how you were going about it

Good stuff.

I'll be looking for more pics later :tongue:

Its good and bad. The eightline flasher ich'd the whole QT. All three fish (potters, kuiters, and eightline) are going through hypo as we speak and so far they are doing well. All 3 were out eating today and the only one showing signs of ich is the eightline. Hopefully they will continue to do well and I gotta say Im so happy I QT. Wish me luck everybody.

Thanks Terry, she is the most gorgeous fish Ive ever seen in person. Im so glad I finally found her, even though I have to go through all the chaos. She'll be worth every second of my trouble in the end.
