A few weeks ago, we move our 55 gallon aquarium across the living room. It took us five hours to move the tank less than 10 feet. We took the opportunity to rearrange the rock and corals. When we finished, everybody looked fine and all fish were present.
But, a few days later, we noticed we were only seeing two of our pajama cardinals rather than all three. At first, we thought that one of them was just hiding, or that we were only seeing two at a time. Even at feeding time, when all the fish normally come out, we'd only see two. We started thinking we had lost one.
This went on for two weeks before we decided that, yes, we must have lost one, even though we never found a dead fish. So, on our next trip to the LFS, we picked up another pajama cardinal. Almost immediately after we introduced the new fish, we did a quick count and saw FOUR pajama cardinals! It turns out we didn't really lose on, we were really just seeing two at a time. So now we have four pajama cardinalfish.
Okay, it's not exactly 200 days old; it's really 207 days old. I set up my pico on 25 May 2010. I'm happier with it now than I was 107 days ago when I made my last post (oops...), but it still needs some work. There isn't much new to report. I rearranged the rocks and added a coral.
I currently have the following corals in it:
-Frogspawn (fully recovered, and it's staying in this tank, at least for now)
-Mushrooms (green, red, blue, hairy)
-Zooanthids (I lost my green ones when a mushroom grew over them, but still have my red and green ones)
-Polyps (green button polyps and purple polyps which aren't as purple as they should be)
-Kenya tree (has at least quadrupled in size since I got it)
-Sun coral
I'll add pictures in a couple days. I just moved back home and so did this tank, so things are still recovering from the move (mostly the picky frogspawn).
