New patients at the Stacker ICU

[STACKER]

The Doody fishes have been successfully transplanted. Mr. Mandarin looks chubby but he's sick, has some ick and is sloughing some of his slime layer. No good, but if he makes it thru the next few days he's got a chance. I'll dose the Nano tomorrow if he's looking more active and clear up those parasites. We'll see...

[doody]

Thanks for the help stacker. I hope things go well with him. He was a very active fish . He swims out in the open sometimes. So, no need to spot feed him. I'll be in touch.

[STACKER]

Sorry bud, he looked OK when I left yesterday but was a floater this AM. I think the stress of moving plus his parasites was too much for him. I'm bummed dude!

[doody]

Damn! This hobby can suck at times. Hows the yashia hase doing? I dont think he was showing any signs of ick, but he needs yo stay away from my tank till I rid of this crap.

[STACKER]

Haven't seen him. The Mandarin was just too sick I think and the stress finished him off. I'll feed a bit and see if Yash shows up to eat and let ya know. I acclimated them for 2+ hrs. and he seemed eager to get to the LR. All the polyps, snails, hermits, dusters etc. are doing well so I'm assuming that water is good to go.

[doody]

Yeah, When I first got the goby, I did,nt see him for a wek or two. It took almost a month before I saw him on a reguler basis. At one time I was experimenting with plumbing and did'nt let the glue sit overnight and added the plumbing to my tank. I lost everything but this goby. He's a tough SOB. I just hope that his shrimp partner is OK without him. And that they'll hook back up when I put him back in the tank.

[STACKER]

I still haven't seen hide nor scale of that little guy...

[STACKER]

Update! He just came out to feed , first time I've seen it since acclimation.

[STACKER]

I finally caught that timid little guy on camera... sheesh!

What's that growing over his head? He'll come out more as the weeks go by. The shrimp will help as well.

[STACKER]

Antlers! LOL It's macro algae I got witha batch of pods about 6 mo. ago. I have some in my fuge at home too that grows about 1" a month.

[STACKER]

Frogspawn's, polyps, and Mr. Randall / Yaishia are all doing well. 50% water change tomorrow.
