Thanks Laurier. This is actually my second goldflake angel. About a year ago when I was stocking the tank I tried a juvenile goldflake - it just got picked on and only lasted 3 days. A lot of $ down the drain. I'm actually the 3rd owner of this specimen. Bluetang<3 had it first, then the Codfather then myself.

I tried feeding my fish bananas tonight, it was fun and the fish thought it was a blast. We got a new fish today (My wife actually asked for it for Valentine's Day) - it's a Niger Trigger and it loved the bananas. Here's a couple of short video clips.

Sorry for the crappy quality - it's just a cell phone video on the fly.

No, years ago we fed our FOWLR tank bananas. Our lunar wrasse used to love it. I think some aquariums feed bananas to the fish too. Doesn't mean it's right though. I know that my fish go bananas (drum roll) for it

Just an update of the size of my corals. These 2 corals were only about 4" when I got them - typical store sized colony. I used my computer as a reference for size. Sorry, cell phone pics:

Nice stuff Des! That last one your pink tip purple mille? Mine's not even really visible where it ended up but not for long. It grows so fast it's going to eventually tower up from behind I'm thinking.

I always wondered how they harvested the banana's out in the middle of the Ocean. I see I am not the only one maybe. Bet the pay is great.
