    Nice pictures, very beautiful fish. I like the look of that chromis, didn't even know those were out there. Does he school with your other chromis?

    Thanks guys!

    I do have quite a bit left over. I originally tried what you're suggesting but got frustrated since I couldn't get the two layers to line up correctly. Every time I smooshed the spline down into the frame it would pull the two layers to be near the same alignment. I might try again, but will probably just buy smaller stuff.


    No such luck yet. They kind of hate each other right now actually. I thought I read in order to get them to school you need 3 or 5. Not sure - I'm just hoping they learn to tolerate each other :)

    The McCoskers is beautiful under your lighting spectrum. Those are some of the most stunning pictures I've ever seen of one; congrats.

    Thanks, evolved.

    I was very lucky to receive 3 healthy fish. The McCosker's especially adds a great touch of color to the tank. Plus, he's very active and always out so we get to see him a lot, which is also great!

    I also just noticed his dorsal fin is a ripped. Looking back at the pictures, I see it wasn't like that before so it must be recent. It usually takes a few months and will heal on its own, is that correct?

    Ripped is a sign someone might be picking on him. But yes, it will heal just fine; more like days/weeks as opposed to months, provided any harassment stops. He may have did it on his own accord in the rockwork, but it's more likely it's from someone else.
