Good luck Lance!

For anyone interested a spot may become available on my friends list in the near future.

Yesterday I put some mysis in and the pipefish got it then the yasha zipped out and tried to grab it from the pipefish but the pipefish held onto it. Then the yasha realized there was more mysis and he grabbed another piece of it. Was hilarious to watch, wish I had my camera ready to capture the moment.

The 90 is kind of a tweener size. Too small for big fish and too large for little fish or seahorses.
I like your idea Laurie but I really like the corner tank and don't want to give it up. I'll keep tossing ideas around and maybe even ask the wife's opinion............WOW, that will be a first!

Maybe have her look down the 'idea pipe' and see what comes (out) of it?

The "idea pipe" is not a good idea.

Well just think of how many little gobies/blennys etc you could put in a 90g I'm sure you would see some of them some of the time I always thought it would be cool to have a bunch of fairy wrasses and dwarf angels together.

DAZED & CONFUSED

My poor Fire Clowns are screwed up. Their Nem moved again and left their clutch of eggs uncovered. The parents take turns, going from guarding the eggs and then to the Nem and back and forth all day long.


In this pic you can see the red egg cluster under the rock overhang on the left side. The Nem has moved about 10" to the right.



You can see the eggs better in this photo. Mama clown is to the right of the eggs.

+1 Although that paludarium thingy above looks pretty wicked

I say go with Lauries idea, downgrade and do gobies and smaller fish. They're fun
