PART 15: MORE UPDATES + NEW LIVESTOCK + WALLPAPERS


Going to the Fish Store (Quick Trip)

Today, Philip and Christine (awesome reefers from my LFS) helped me narrow down my choices for fishes. I've narrowed it down to the following three: True Perculas, Yasha Goby, Possum Wrasse (I'm leaning towards the Percs)

Anyway, at the fish store, Christine had an awesome new seahorse tank that was aquascaped to perfection! Here are some pics:

So, here was the Possum Wrasse I was considering after I talked with Philip and Christine:

Possum Wrasse


The True Percs are coming next week, so I'll probably take some pics of them when I visit the LFS next week.

I bought a few food today, here's a pic of the food I use to feed the residents in my tank:

New Inhabitants

So, I was introduced to a breeder of Maxi Minis who LUCKILY lived near my house.

Her regular Maxi Minis are ONLY 5 BUCKS!!!!!! (the other maxi minis were more expensive) but seriously, holy cow, that was SUCH a good deal! Anyone who wants her contact info can PM me!

Here's the new Maxi Mini Carpet Anemones

I bought 2, one Blue Maxi Mini and one Common Maxi Mini

Here's the Common Maxi Mini wedged between the rocks


Here's the Blue Maxi Mini

Unfortunately, the Blue Maxi Mini decided to hide behind the rocks where no one can see it! (Hopefully it'll change its mind later)

Thanks for sharing the seahorse tank pics, great shots of your snails.

 

if you get the clownfish name it Crusty The Clown LOL!

 

Hey 2in10, thanks! yeah, I really liked the snails shell design, it looks kind of like a wave...or that cliff from Nightmare Before Christmas. haha. That's why I love saltwater!

LOL, alright, the first clownfish will be named Crusty the Clown!

 

this tank is really coming together nicely btw I love the way the blue maxi mini looks!!

 

How often have you been changing the water? How are params looking?

 

What kind of snails are those? The look blue and white. Very nice!
