Wow what a day I had! My 8 hour round trip day ended up being more like 16 thanks to a million stops my wife wanted to take.
Took the 4 hour one way drive to my not so local LFS. Tamarin was too beat up, and skinny to even consider, and the chaoti he just sold not 10 minutes before I got there. Just my luck with my holy grail. One of these days I will end up with this fish.
@Tcook I have heard from many LFS's and online friends that have kept the chaoti, and all report what you did. Eats well, well adjusted, and just ups and stops eating eventually to waste away to nothing. It's really a shame as they are probably the best looking leopard IMO.
Holy crap! when did the price of PE mysis go way up? Np one around me sells the large flat packs, just a petco that sells the bubble packs which only went up like $5 locally which is what I've been buying for the last year or so. A large flat pack was $50!
Anyways, of course the wife wins again! I saw a very fat and happy juvenile exquisite fairy! So young it still has the white spot on the tip of its nose. So of course I just had to get the little dude. Then my wife sees a purple squat reef lobster. Well guess it's coming home with me. Luckily I have no smallish fish for it to try and attack. I am a little worried about my sand sleepers, but they should be ok.
In my typical flair I just plopped and dropped the exquisite. Lights were off for the night, but I did have a look this morning(still dark in the tank) and she's sleeping in her cocoon, and snug and tight.
Fingers crossed this lobster doesn't end up killing all my wrasses.
