SoggyDollar Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Here's my coolest fish......after a long wait I found em couple months ago and had em shipped to me at the 1st sight ....very healthy and center fish of my reef like my black tang..... Isingh, what kind of fish are those? big_pun, I'm trying to age my tank right now with copepods to support a Mandarin. I hope to luck out with training one to eat pellets. Awesome fish!

SoggyDollar Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 dapettit, I haven't kept a tang yet. That tang looks awesome. I had planned on getting a tang but they seem to get stressed easily, stop eating or have ich outbreaks. Similar to your tang's personality, I had a cool copperband butterfly that had a great personality as well. He seemed very healthy eating anything I fed the tank as well as aptasia. I had him for four or five months. But, one day he mysteriously decided to stop eating and died shortly thereafter. It was very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you find them? i to have been looking. Ah, they are called Halanthias Borbonius or Blotched Anthias. If they are anything like my Lyretail Anthias I would like keep a small school, they look so unusual. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannerfish Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 everyone has beautiful fish here, with neat stories to go with them! this is my fave fish, i call him gobbles cause he is like a bottemless pit when it comes to food! hes awesome cause hes not shy at all, he will follow you around when you walk by the tank, and when you stick your hands in there, be it to feed or clean, he follows you and nibbles your hand and arm lol. none of my other saltwater fish do that, so he really stands out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 One of the fish I have enjoyed keeping in the past are jawfish. They are very entertaining fish. Unfortunately they are easily stressed and prone to jump out of the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
