Bad News... So I went to feed my display yesterday and quickly realized my 6 + Inch Lamark with beautiful streamers was missing! Some how he wound up behind the tank, so bummer...
Well I had picked up a really nice pair of Bellus Angels probably close to a year ago and I have had them downstairs in my large tank in my sump room. Never really enjoying them as much as I could in the display tank. I had never put them upstairs in the display tank as the Lamark was so big I didnt want to have an issue with the Bellus male possibly changing.
Good News - So I went downstairs and caught the male in all of 2 minutes... feeling very accomplished I started to try to catch the female... One hour later as I pulled all the rocks out of the tank, I caught her!!
So now the display has a beautiful pair of Bellus Angels in it!!!
BETTTER NEWS! Well as I picked up the large main rock structure I see this HUGE Black sea monster!! Quickly drop the rock back down, go upstairs change my drawers... lol and get a larger container. I lift it out of the tank and this thing hanging out of the rock slithering all around with "jaws" gaping and freaking me out, I try to pull with tongs out and it comes in 2 pieces. So I dangle the rock over the water in the container and obviously the thing wants back in the water.
So after I get this out, I am like that is not a bristle worm.. It was a BIG Bobbitt worm!!! After wathcing videos I am lucky I have ANY fish in that tank. This thing was all of 2' long and that was shriveld. in the pic you can see a VERY large bristle worm and this thing looks like a midget next to the Bobbit.
So good came from bad. Still miss the Lamark it was my daughters favorite fish.
