I got a copperband butterfly and female blue star leopard wrasse last Friday. Both are still not eating. I tried Rod's fish eggs, Larry's, and mysis. Wrasse is in my nano tank with one clown fish. She pecks at the food and spits it out. Copperband is in my frag tank and pays no interest to...

So where did everyone go today for LFS Black Friday sales and what did you get?? How were the crowds? I only went to Xzotic since they are so close to me. They said open at 11am but the place was already packed when I walked in at 10:59am. Got two ricordeas ($21 each), two cleaner shrimps...
