Thanks guys....some of the stuff does seem like its on steroids.....If Brett can ever get his tank going he could come over and help me thin it out some:biggrin:....You know your welcome to come over too John but your in the same boat I am.

Very impressive Doug. Some of those colonies are getting pretty large. Time for an upgrade?

Thanks Lance....I wish I could upgrade....I rent, so that means the tank has to be somewhat portable....any bigger than this is a major event requiring logistics and schtuff....this tank is small enough to be moved relatively easily.

Finally got the g/f trained:lol: I came home from the shop the other night with a couple bags with some clean up crew for the pony tank....the g/f meets me at the door and says there are some groceries in her car, could I go get them? So I hand her the bags and toodle off to the car to get the groceries.....carry them in and get distracted talking to her and putting groceries away....15min go by and I realize that I didnt float the bags in the sump....I rush out to the tank and the g/f already had them floating....I love her:biggrin:.....now, if I could just train her to clean the glass:mrgreen:

I had Josh over last night to do another shoot for me(thanks again man). I shut the tank down so he could really get some good shots and while he was working I decided to take advantage of the "no flow" scenario and snap a few pics of my own....I will share my crappy pics before I show you all Josh's works of art.

Holy cow that green one is thick. I've seen a few like this lately...do these particular species grow like that always or can many do this if flow is just right?

Props on having the GF partially trained. I consider my wife FULLY trained. She touches NOTHING on my tank. My daughter on the other hand is a slow learner. She flipped a switch while I was filling the tank and I got to hear what a Tunze Stream sounds like dry....if only for 1 bazillionth of a second.

My millies have more movement than the majority of the softies in the tank....hopefully das millie doesnt ever shave:lol:

Ok....enough of my crappy teaser pics heres a few that the master hisseff (JDigital)took(thanks again mang)...my PAS cameras take decent pics but they are lacking in a few areas....I get very little depth of field and I can never seem to get the color "true to life"....there's just no substituting for good equipment.(and knowing a guy that knows how to use that good equipment)

Nope missed it Tony....ooops:redface: Actually its pyramid now:neutral:....I added the pair and they got such a rough ride from my "three amigos" (the tangs) that the weaker and more timid butterfly died....they both got ick right away as most fish in my tank do, but were eating like pigs...and Im guessing the stress of being harassed and fighting the ick was too much for the one to manage:sad: The stronger of the two is doing ok...still getting bothered at times but bolder and bolder every day....

Heres a pic Josh took of the B-fly

A mug shot of the worst of the tangs for harassing the B-flys (Naso) (also Josh's)

Hey Doug, what kind of zoos are those. Im talking about the ones with the orange rim on them.

Delphinus

11-17-2009 08:16 PM

Aww, sorry to hear that. :( Butterflies seem so delicate at first. Seems if you can nurse them past that awkward stage then maybe it's not so bad but geez, still kinda harsh the way things work out.

But that one you have left is a sure beauty! Good luck with him.
