    I was a bit nervous if there was too much flow or too much activity in my tank for him. He cares not of others, he will flex his spines and go horizontal (to aim the spines) and others will obey! I watched the hippo try to hug him and CBB was not having any of it. hahahaha!

    I knew the previous owner and knew it was healthy and eating prepared food. I never would have taken this on from a LFS CBB, just because it's so hit and miss.

    unfortunately, it really is at the LFS :( I kept one for maybe 3 months - it was eating pretty well too - they are so pretty

    This is the start of the 3rd week with the new fish. I did a 20 gal water change last week and again one tonight. I'm just loving the extra movement the tank has, the new fish keep the other fish active. There was a little aggression between the tomini and the A. Blue tang on day 1, but that was it.

    The whole tank now moves differently. Yesterday, Maddy and I were watching the fish. Now there are some bigger fish, there is a renewed interest from her side! haha! However, we were watching from the glass, then we slowly took 5 steps back and watched all the fish come out, then we took 5 steps forward and the fish didn't disappear in an instant, but they just kinda was like... "no food? ok, I'll be back here, then...". Then we backed up again and we watched them slowly come back out. It was pretty neat.

    It's a beautiful Tang Zesty.

    They really add a lot color and movement and personality. She looks bashful so I am going with she!

    I call enough of my fish guy/him/hes, I think this one is most definitely a she! However, I say that because she took over the tank within 24 hours. :D:D

    I was going to grab the new innovative marine algae strip feeder. Then I remember I had these guys. I bought them earlier, but never had enough fish to take care of this much food in a timely matter. I just put this one in for a few hours yesterday. Today it went in at lunch

    I don't have the mini-sized, but I'm glad to see that mini size being offered.
