He normally did burrow.. do i need to buy live sand? Or can u buy the sand ud use for bearded dragons per say? $$ isnt the issue its that i do t have nehwere to buy live sand

you need to add the proper sand.. it doesnt have to be live, just goto petsmart and buy a small bag of caribsea. also never heard of that wrasse.. and google only links to this thread when searching.. do you have a photo?

i believe its a marble wrasse or checkerboard if i remember correctly,
correct if im wrong riley

 

[unibob]

I have only ever seen them at big ALS and they were mislabeled. Real cool looking fish. Checker wrasse sounds right

what about just buying all new sand for your tank, barebottoms are ugly

 

[reeferkeeper420]

No i dont want any sand. In pretty sure i read somewher that if your going to do alot of acros ur better of to go barebottom, for leaching and silicates and what not.. i dunno.. im pretty sue my last sand bed was full of cyano and PO4. And like i said isont have anyway to get newhere, but id like to gwt him some sand asap so hes not stressing out.

 

[reeferkeeper420]

yea im a bit confused, how did you move the fish over???
why didnt you just keep him seperate then?

 

[reeferkeeper420]

I caught em with an inch of water and i was ready for the qt unfprtuantely...or thought about afyer i put the fish back in lol.

 

[Duke]

just go scoop up a few cups from outside, rinse with rodi and you should be good to go.. i wouldnt worry about it.

 

[reeferkeeper420]

Shouldnt be a problem? I guess its not like im putting all of it back in, i guessnill just make sure i rinse it really goood.

 

[reeferkeeper420]

Itll be normall for the water to go a little cloudy afyer adding the sand id assume, it was the weird layer on top of my water that kinda worried me..is that normal.. i thought i rinsed it farily well.. it was stirred in my tabk pretty good before it was tossed and then i sat and stirred it for about 10-15 mins changing the wayer out, went through 5g, i used a fish bag to lower it in and slowly release it into the container.
