My Tanks! Well, My Attempt!

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.

We need pics!!
Don't get a damsel they are nasty fish.
I would probably get an anthas or a dottyback

Borbonius and Yellow Spotted

Yellow Assessor and Orchid Dottyback

Great fish suggestions! I saw a Yellow Assessor in the store today, its awesome. Don't have time to quarantine another fish right now though... Going on holidays pretty soon, out to the island actually for a bit, then to Whistler.

Here are a couple pictures of the new guys!

My favourite fish in the whole wide world:





Watanabe Angel



Couple pics of the 90G. Still a lot of work to do, but its up and running! I decided to do the rock work so the fish can have fun swimming in and through the rocks but still have lots of spots for coral. Going to get a bit more eventually, but this'll do for now.

A nice, bright yellow toadstool. Got it at Big Al's, they have a few left but they are not doing very good, so if you want one you might be able to score a deal.


Picture of 30G now. Had to remove some rock for the quarantine tank, and had a couple losses from temp / alk issues. I have those under control now, so working on getting this one looking nicer again...

Nice new fish there Trina! Hope you have better luck than I did with the watanabei. After I got them I dug a little deeper reading on them, and they are pretty hard to keep alive the first couple months. Males are worse than females. I lost a pair of them in QT a while back after they were initially eating great. Such a nice looking fish though. Will look great in your big tank.

I hope so!!

Exciting news - I have an egg... a cuddlefish egg!!! No idea if it will hatch, but from the size of the egg, when it does hatch, it should be a fairly decent size. Kinda cool though!

What! Reallyy?!! That's wicked I have always wanted a cuttlefish to raise, where did you come across the egg? Great looking fish btw, I have always wanted a boxfish but I'm afraid to put them into the reef.

My ole fixture looks great on your tank, very nice indeed.
