don't want to rush. healthy den buy. no point buying then end up dying. :) but yeah, very lucky lessons cancelled tomorrow. can go see see

Thought I should relate my experience to you. Bought my first Rhomboid from Iwarna. Died on the same day. The second Rhomboid was purchased from RB. It lasted just over a month. The only sign that it was unwell was the white spots during its short lifespan. It ate but not very well. Stopped eating in the last 2 days. The two Rhomboids had something in common. Both were very thin, as if they were deliberately starved before shipment. My guess is that this is a warning sign that these fishes would have a slim chance of survival. Or could it be Rhomboids are particularly fragile species that don't ship well? Anyway, the caveat, "Buyers beware!" particularly apply to this specie. Anyone who have bought Rhomboids care to share their experience?

i explained to your before already. i have had a rhomboid for 8 months. super alpha, super gorgeous, super everything. but it's dead now due to my own mistake. some fishes are deliberately starved before shipping to reduce the bioload in the bag... others especially wrasses may contain internal parasites that will prevent them from absorbing nutrients........

i pmed you on this already. don't discuss it here. if you want, start a new thread in reef fishes

Lots of beautiful sps, lps and softies still at Reborn. In addition, there are still many rocks of zoos with gems like dragon eye, bam bam orange and fiji sunflower left at the shop as many guys were just trying potluck with half opened zoos yesterday. :eyebrow:

PS: There are some rather insteresting goniastrea favulus left untaken as many guys were just eyeing the sps or zoos
