First off: 230 gallon, 2 anthias? This needs a major adjustment.

Started with 5 Lyretail and 2 pink square back. Down to 1 of each currently. Can't find a male Squareback and all of the Lyretail I find are too small.

Gloves are for amateurs but they should be all females and maybe some would survive the trip. Not those nails I have a grinder for them

The oils on our hands eat away at the slime coat. Not that I don’t sometimes touch my fish especially as my pathetic fake sea snake needs to be protected while eating but you should wear gloves.

Should. I will admit I use my hands to catch fish. Hate nets and sometimes a clear container isn’t practical. The sad part I hate gloves and don’t use them much but should
