My little H melanurus seems to be settling down. She is swimming around more openly without interference from the other fish so fingers crossed she will now be ok.
![]() After seeing my new little H melanurus put through the wringer since being introduced into my reef I decided to invest in an acclimatisation box. The theory being the new fish, after drip acclimatisation over at least a couple of hours can then be placed into my new transparent box. Here the existing fish in the reef get to see what is going on and hopefully can decided on the new pecking order without too much aggression and stress for the new fish. I intend to place any new fish in the box for two to three days within the aquarium and watch how the fish interact before introducing the newcomer. I have never done this before so it will be interesting to see what happens. Worth trying to get a lovely mixed collection of wrasse. My little H melanurus seems to be settling down. She is swimming around more openly without interference from the other fish so fingers crossed she will now be ok.

AuthorI have always enjoyed keeping fish and began this website when doing the research before setting up my own modest reef. I couldn't find this type of site so decided to make my own. Archives
