    haha "but honey, this fish isn't happy in such a small tank. You want the fish to be happy don't you?"

    Lol, actually she told me that if he was looking stressed at tax time we would upgrade, but he died awhile ago.

    sorry to hear that man.



    you know, i was actually thinking the same thing. I figured if i have luck in keeping these cards and can aquaire more, i may just scratch the chromis. I like the Red spots WAY more than the chromis

    Alright... So we lost one in shipping but the 4 that made it look great. Haven't eaten anything yet but they are very active, friendly fish. They never hide, always out swimming together. I really like them a lot.

    Someone needs to get a breeding
    Program going with these little critters..
    If I can keep them alive I am keep them in my prop system and try to get them to spawn, I've had good luck with Bangii, maybe it's similar.

    How long have you been reefing for? The pictures of this & your past tanks are, well, I can't think of a word good enough to describe them :p
    thanks for sharing!

    Thanks lmr2o!
    Hmmm. 2007? It all started with a pingpong goldfish we won at the fair and it was down hill from there. Ha

    lol well you've sure come a long way from a goldfish bowl my friend! that's funny though, I bet when you sunk that pingpong ball you had no idea it would eventually cost you thousands of dollars ;) (with no regrets I'm sure)

    Ha yes I had no idea that little ping
    Pong ball would be such a pricey endeavor.

    So I have lost 2 of the cardinals, one showed up DOA and the second just didn't look good from the start and kicked the bucket last night for unknown reasons.

    Good news is the remaining 3 I have are doing very well and started to chow on frozen cyclopeez last night so that's good
