Sweet man. Those are some nice looking fish! Hopefully they look the same.

Well I won't be able to pick up my fish Friday because I will be out of town working. I'll have to wait till I get back to pick them up from the LFS. Should be Sunday or Monday. Can't wait!

 

[Cichlid-dude]

Bummer you have to wait. Make sure you post pics shen you get them!

 

[paul87]

I will. I have a feeling that wrasse is gonna be hard to get a pic of. Cant wait to see what he looks like.

 

[paul87]

Well I called LTS today to see if my to fish came in. The wrasse didnt come in but the blenny did. Ill post him up when i get him probably monday

 

[Cichlid-dude]

Are they still getting the wrasse in?

Are they still getting the wrasse in?

Not sure. I originally wanted as a melenurus but they couldn't get that either at the time. I might try to get that one again instead. Then again I may change my mind completely.lol.

I hear ya, i go to the lfs whith what i want in mind and i end up getting something totally defferent.

So i picked up my forktail blenny today. He has a couple nips in his fins but otherwise looks and acts healthy. He gets along with my two clowns so thats good. Heres some pics.

 

[paul87]

Hes a very intetesting fish. Super cool. Acts just like my canary blenny did.

 

[paul87]

Guess he found his sleeping spot. The magnetic frag rack is his domain. Lol.

 

[paul87]

Well my blenny has completely vanished. I put my brittle Star in a section of my sump so i know it wasnt him. Hmm...

 

[paul87]

Super bummed with the blenny. Doubt hes hiding this long when he swam around up front the whole first day. His fins where nipped up when i got him. I guess the CUC cleaned him up pretty quickly.

 

[Kristy3693]

Awe, that sucks! He was pretty.

Toby the goby is pretty cool. Lol. Good name! I just picked up another forktail blenny today. They had one left. I'm going to try this again hopefully he makes it! I'll post pics when I get him in the tank.

 

[paul87]

No sign of the 2nd new forktail blenny since i put him in the tank and he swam into the rock... :/

 

[paul87]

Well i found my blenny dead today. I dont know qhy im having such bad luck with the forktail blennies. Maybe a badly stressed batch?? From what i read they are very hardy and disease resistant. I really want one of these guys. Maybe ill order from a different store. Anyone had any of these?

 

[Cichlid-dude]

Maybe they were both just unhealthy from the start. You got them both from the same lfs right?

Yep and from the same exact order.
