Okay so summer has put the damper on things a bit! But, the tank is 10-4 a go, roger that. Everything is running bla bla. I have purchased a couple new tank buddies!! I have a Blue / Black Spotted Boxfish and a Watanabe Angel Fish at Gold's with my name on them. Just waiting on the fishies to be done with their quarantine tank then back to Gold's to throw these guys in there!!!
I have been waiting on one of those boxfish since January! And the angel fish is too nice to pass up, here's the description from a website: "Members of the genus Genicanthus are planktivores and will not bother corals or clams in the aquarium, making them the perfect reef angel. Not difficult to keep once acclimated. Keep only with very peaceful tankmates." I also read that they stay on the smaller size (less than 6") and tolerate other angels too!

If I'm thinking of the right fish, I have always loved (and coveted) those blue spotted boxfish but tread carefully: there are several cases where they've kicked off and taken more or less the entire tank with them due to the toxins released. I myself was thinking "one day" I'll try one but maybe in a tank by himself.
Just a heads up in case you weren't aware of that aspect with that species!!! Not something you want to find out the hard way.

Yah, I think its the same fish. Kevin at Gold's has warned me, and then warned me again.
 I will do my best to keep everyone happy and healthy!! Its the one fish though that I absolutely must have so I am taking my chances. I may have a different opinion of this decision at some point. But, we'll see!!

Just realized the fish have now been in the hospital tank for 30 days now! I guess I can start making preparations for them to return to their homes... thats awesome!!
I think the clown will go back to the office tank... as well as the Mandarin. Two biggies definately to the basement tank... What to do with the chromis.... flush em?! hahahha just kidding. Maybe I'll leave them in the quarantine tank till I decide.

What is wrong with your chromis? Why do you want to get rid of them? Do they not play nice?

New fish are home and in the quarantine tank! I love the spotted boxfish SOOOO MUUCCHHH!!!!!!!! I just want to squish him! I love watching this fish, its so friggen adorable. Even the bf, who doesn't care that much for SW (gasp! I know) thinks its awesome. Both fish are eating already.
Nothing wrong with the chromis, but I only want 3 fish in my 30G, and already have two in there. I will get either a small dottyback, anthias, damsel, or wrass instead of the two chromis. Looking for a fish that will grow max 3" and dependent on type too. I don't want one that hides all the time or one that is aggressive - have a mandarin goby. So, the plan is to wait till the new guys are done quarantine, and then give away the chromis. I'll shop for the last addition to the 30 later in August.
