Alec's 40gal breeder chronicles!

haha yea you should do that, let me know how that goes

 

What's up yall. A little update for any followers out there.. It's been a few weeks since I added the YWG, so I moved the longnose hawkfish(chicky) over to my DT. He's loving the new tank. He's cruising around looking for pods to pop off the rocks at the moment. It looks like his spot though, right on the veryyy top of my highest rock haha. Here's a few pics with the moonlights on..

I also have a shipment from fragglereef.com coming in tmrw morning, that I'm really excited about. I ordered a mushroom pack, so hopefully they all make it all right. I have some pretty sweet colors coming, I'll be adding them to my mushroom rock I've been working on. I love shrooms, I think they're probably my fav type of coral. I'll be sure to snap some pics tmrw once they're acclimated..

 

Sounds cute love the name yo. Can't wait to see the pics!

 

So as I said in the last post, I got a few new frags in the mail today. I ordered a mushroom pack from fragglereef.. Really nice people. I'd really recommend them. It was supposed to be a 5 shroom pack for 16.99, and I ended up getting 7 (though one is just had 2 polyps). I have this mushroom rock that I've been working on (shrooms are my fav coral).. I want a little forest of diff color shrooms. I know it doesn't look that great yet, but hopefully it'll start to looks better once then shrooms grow out! So far, I have 2 blue/purpleish, one orange and blue or "fire and ice", one pink, one red, 2 red w/ blue dots, one orange, and one green. I think I may end up adding one more to the rock though, there's one more spot I want to fill. Sorry about the quality of the picks, stupid iPhone. Most of the new shrooms aren't all the way expanded yet, obviously. So I'll be sure to post more pics once they do!

The hawkfish is doing really good so far too. I put him in yesterday.. He's a busy little guy, he's always roaming around, picking little bugs off the rocks.. Along with posting up and eyeing everything down in different spots a few mins at a time. He likes to sit in digitata, as you can see, and my kenya tree. Although, the kenya doesn't seem to like it too much. It'll close up its polyps once he plops down. Oh well, hopefully it'll come around. I really like him though! Everyone's getting around really well. No aggression problems from anyone whatsoever, aside from my female clown putting the little male in his place from time to time lol.

 

Lol thanks. My mom comes up with the names, I'm not a very good namer haha. I saw you got yourself a new little fish too miss!

 

I did!! but now I cant find him...... im slightly worried...

 

Uh oh. I wouldn't worry about him, it's probably just being a little shy while he's getting used to the tank!

 

But before he was fine not hiding at all... I re arranged some rock.. maybe I scared him too much.

 

Yeah I'm sure that's it.. Or maybe he just found a sweet sleeping spot while he was exploring today? It issss a little late. Haha.

 

Awesome fish, man.

You may have accidently rearragned his sleeping area/cave when you moved the rock around. I bet he's found a new one already where you can't see him now.
