My Clarkii and I had a little talk about biting me, and I think we reached a pretty good agreement. One bite per tank cleaning and that's ONLY when I get to close to his Sebae! All the fish are in qt right now due to losing my two newest babes to ich.
My Auriga Butterfly - Audry was wild and wooly when she came here. She was a coral eater and Dave wanted to ban her from the tank. I worked with her daily and taught her feeding times with her special food. She'd sit 2" away from the baster and wait for me to squeeze out a bite or two for her. She totally tamed down, didn't eat anymore coral, and I did this 3 times a day.... and I didn't mind. It was relaxing. Flushing her was sad, and it was probably the 1st time I cried over one of my fishies. This morning, Dory joined her too. We are no longer buying fish from that LFS. Every fish we've ever gotten there has died. Frustrating!!
