Third time better be the charm

[Goaway]

or is it splitting three ways?

Hopefuly, and not melting.

Swallowtail angel, bluethroat trigger and purple firefish. Thinking of putting the bengaii and the mollies in the big tank and turning the office mushroom tank with the clown into something funner.

Nice! Can’t wait to see them!

Blue throat looking very sketchy. Small white worm in bag. Acclimation in Qt now. Best course of action for parasites? If that is what the worm is should I avoid qting the swallow in same tank?

Sketch = no movement laying on side breathing ok somewhat rapid.
Swallow seems fine bouncing around in bag.

Prazi pro not unusual to be laying on side.

A bit happier now that temp is coming up.

Never met a fish that likes being in a bag. All the wrasse I recieved played dead until released into the tank.

 

[Stang67]

He is doing much better now. Slowly bringing up the salinity and bag is warmer too.
He is definately a he and is georgeous.

Prazipro will be here tomorrow.

Dorothy is fixed and we are spinning honey.

I couldn't fill the bucket full because it would have been too heavy to lift. These 2 buckets filled to the blue lines plus the 1 gallon I already have makes 5 gallons.
Going to try and bottle as much as I can tomorrow and then start sending them out.

So need some suggestions.
Woke up this am and went to do a water change in the fw tank. Noticed this:

No Bueno.
Drained it down so we only have about 4 inches of water in it. 55g. Now my options are:
A: replace with new 55g
B: replace with new 60g
C replace with new 40g
D shut down and sell off.
I am leaning towards D as it would be one less tank to worry about. But I can downsize as well. I think it will all depend on cost. 40g nothing would fit bc its 36 long. 55 and 60 need help to lift and man is out of town until tomorrow. I can get a 55g at work have to check the $. 60g at petco is 90$ on sale.

This may be too late but I would recommend using two different qt if you have another one. At least until you get the problem figured out.

Edit: I like using General Cure It has Prazi and metro in it

Or, you can add an unsightly bar clamp.
But, selling iff is fine too. Add a cheap bar clamp to keep further seam tearing.

If it was me, C or D. I just like the shape of the 40s more than the 55/60 - that thin build doesn't give a lot of flexibility.
