More new fish

[dacaptain78]

Picked up an Achilles tang, black ice clown and a rose anemone from aquatic obsession this past weekend. Achilles went into my QT. I put the rose anemone and clown fish into the display tank. I was hesitant to put the clown directly into the DT but I already had a blue face and regal angel on QT. I didn't want to have 4 fish in my 30 gallon QT tank so an executive decision was made.

The Achilles and clownfish both ate mysis right away. The clown is eating pellets as well. The Achilles is picking eating fresh clams and sort of nibbling on algae sheets.

Bad news is that the Achilles has ick, but I expected it would. The QT is being treated with copper. Hopefully they take the treatment well. Here are some pictures.

Why not run the qt in hypo salinity for 6 weeks 1.008

+1. Hypo worked for my tank and I never had Ich problems again(thank God!). Good luck with yours. They are really beautiful!

I used hypo in the past and it worked but maintaining the proper pH was a chore and it required more monitoring and adjusting than using a copper treatment.
