Still don't see my blotchy

[samksy]

After two days, i still don't see my blotchy. Damn, i wonder if that mofo is still alive! I'll be so piss if it is. Didn't even get to see it coming out to swim. $$$ down the drain...damn it! no more expensive fish.

Sucks sucks sucks....oh well

My tank is 150g with a tons of fishes, maybe that is why. I hope it's just hiding.

I added a blotchy and after about 8 days he popped out and after about 3 weeks he is out all the time.

Mike,

I got 3 blue eye Anthias, looks like lyrtail to mel, 1 barlette, and 3 pinkish Anthias, forgot the name. They don't seem too aggressive but who knows. Crossing my finger it's still alive.

 

[MIKE NY]

there you go..Bartletts, Lyretails and the pinks, if they have alittle red on the tail are probably Stockies all are agressive ..

Looks like i will hit your 10 day record tomorrow or even beat your record. Blotch still sit inside the rock, it's been moving, turning back and forth in the rock. 9 days already, it must be hungry. :bigeyes2:

try and use a turkey baster and spray some food in the whole where it is. See if you can entice him to eat.

ahhh, good idea!!! i'll try that tonight and see. thanks!!!

Always works for me when i have new WC clowns that are shy eaters. Also try it with live blackworms or Hikari Brine with Spirulina.

My first blotchy was up after lights out picking pods off the rocks. It took a while for it to get comfortable though, as my lyretail anthias and yellow tang harassed it.

Not sure where i can get live blackworm around me. I got rod's food, brine, and fish egg to try tonight and see, then i'll venture out and look for live blackworms.

I have a good amount of fishes, so i guess that make it extra shy, mine don't venture out at night, at least i don't see it. How long have you had the blotchy, still alive?
