Instead of getting to previously planned wc a day early I decided to move my clown killis from the 15 to the 45.
Had been the plan for a while since I figured they would nicely blend with the mid to upper tank mates in the 45 and the endlers are dropping fry in the 15..
I managed to get 5 out of 6 over. They seemed alright. My once mellow angelfish appeared to think they might be a tasty snack.
Figured I’d let them have some time to adjust and they were doing quite well staying away from Mickey using the lily leaves and Anacharis.
This evening I went to look for them and at first couldn’t spot 1. Crud.
Thankfully I found 4 out of 5 of them hiding very well in the leaves but looking very stressed out. No color. Huddled in one spot. Oh boy.
As I was looking for the 5th I noticed my African dwarf frog, who had been resting in those very leaves earlier when I fed her bloodworms, was looking VERY, VERY fat.
Like she’d found a tasty fish treat.
I can’t find the 5th one. I’m pretty sure they became a frog snack.
I’ve moved 3 of the 4 I could find back to the 15. Where they are already less stressed. Hanging out with the endlers and betta and have their color back.
I don’t have the best luck relocating fish between tanks. No matter how much I plan it out, acclimate them, balance the tank parameters, whatever I’ve left the fish overnight or longer just to ‘let them get used to it’ and it doesn’t seem to go well.
except with endlers. Somehow they’re the hardiest fish of them all.
