Reefer_Madness January 26, 2015 January 26, 2015 About three months ago a Hawkfish disappeared. No trace. I just figured something got him and had a feast back in the rocks. Fast forward to last week. I started to move everything from the 30g IM over to my new 60g cube. I finished up on Friday and pulled all of the old equipment out. Today, I look in the back and see that the Hawkfish is looking up at me. The talk is at 68 degrees. He had been living in the back chamber this whole time! That is the chamber that my ATO dumped into and where I dosed. He is a tough cracker!!!! So now rather that shocking his system I decided to heat the old tank back up and acclimate him over gently to the new tank. I think he earned that... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
YHSublime January 26, 2015 January 26, 2015 When I had an old biocube 14, i had a clown pair in there. One would constantly find its way into the back chambers, and I could never find it. I always thought it was dead, and then I would find it in the back chamber. Glad you found it again!
DuffyGeos January 26, 2015 January 26, 2015 Now that is a trooper! He deserves some good meals and a cushy life.
Keraxis January 26, 2015 January 26, 2015 Ha.... fish was looking at you like.... "about time... ive been calling you for ages"
Reefer_Madness January 26, 2015 Author January 26, 2015 (edited) I can't imagine the pain he has been through. High nitrates, bad saline, toxic levels of 2 part. He's like the Bruce Willis of my aquarium. Or maybe Rocky... Edited January 26, 2015 by Reefer_Madness
Sharkey18 January 26, 2015 January 26, 2015 That is awesome. Awfully nice of you to heat up his old digs to help him tolerate the move. Thats a cool fish.

Ben, that's awesome! Most of the "I lost my fish" threads don't have such happy endings. Glad to hear he's fine. I love hawkfish!
Reefer_Madness January 26, 2015 Author January 26, 2015 He was actually kind of a jerk when he was in the tank, attacking everything. Hopefully his time in solitary confinement gave him an attitude adjustment!! Either way, he is a trooper!!

Reefer_Madness January 29, 2015 Author January 29, 2015 I didn't think of that..........my other fish did look pretty surprised to see the Hawkfish. It all makes sense now... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
