Show and Tell (again)

I've jumped the gun on the next installment of the progress of my less
than three months old tank. Sitting here with a broken foot, waiting
for what's left of the hurricane to come breezing through here with
enough inches of rain to keep me watching that the fish don't float out
of the ponds, it seemed like a good time to hang out at the computer.
This also keeps my arm out of the fish's territory.

Changes will be very few in the future, now that the tank's been moved a
few times and gone from 20 gallons to 29 and every rock has been in a
few dozen places. I have four fish who should each remain under 3
inches and that's all I'm going to have. Eventually one or two more
soft corals and that's it. So I say now.

Thanks again to M.L. and R.R. for giving me much advice, patiently.

Looks good Ruth. Are you observing the mandarin feeding, when you drop in
food? Or is it only picking at the rockwork?

I'm watching him closely. I waited until I thought I had enough
pickings before getting him, but I aimed a few new brine shrimp in his
direction. So I'm hoping he does okay.

one of the two i have ate baby brine from the day i got
him.....................but about 3 months ago decided to not eat them and
will only eat pods now..............

strange things they can be at times. lucky for me the pods got up quite a
population befor he discovered them and decided they were better tasting
then the bs.
