65 gallon upgrade - New FTS #127

yes flyn, unfortunately it caught in some rocks and I guess couldn't breathe or move - I found him too late. They are such a beautiful fish, I wish they weren't so difficult to keep

 

Sorry to hear about your loss. That really stinks. Any new updates or additions?

 

it's been a while since I updated. In terms of new livestock, I did add two dragon-faced pipefish about 3 months ago and luckily they are still going strong. I really enjoy them although my tank gets fed a ton so I'm struggling with nutrients/algae growth I also added a couple of sexy shrimp and an anemone shrimp - they all three have taken up residence in my xenia. I also added a hector's goby that is in my overflow (I'm going to work on that tonight) - another thread I haven't added much in terms of coral - some zoas, a new toadstool, and some palys. I'm waiting for my LFS to get in a harlequin shrimp - I have a ton of asterinas that I'd like to get rid of - there are way too many to remove without some help. I guess I'm ok with having to feed starfish once the asterinas are gone - although I'm still a bit squeamish about that.....I do have a cool pic of my pipefish although my pics stink compared to most

 

ok, found a cool picture or at least I liked it

 

I like it too!

 

That's awesome! I'm gonna start a seahorse and pipe fish tank in the next month or so. Is it hard to feed that little guy? He would look good in my reef

 

Nice OFK! Love the pipefish and hooray for the Hectors!

 

I have a lot of pods I believe...at least I've added them a couple of times - tisbe pods - they are very tiny so it's hard to tell their numbers...I also feed a cube of Cyclops and roe daily.....I also feed baby Mysis which all seem to enjoy. My fish are very chubby.....now, I think it is apparent why I can't keep sps

dsc, I have a pair.....I read where they seem to do well in pairs....they do somewhat pair up periodically but mostly swim about separately. I have no idea what gender they are.

 

That little guy is awesome!

 

I think he looks a bit like a baby ostrich in that picture
