    UPDATE!
    Video in last page of my build thread! Check sig. for link.

    My LFS mislabeled this fish as a Filamentous wrasse. Which either way, it would be ridiculously underpriced at $12!!!
    ;D It was originally $14, but the owner said he'd let it go for $12! LOL

    Acclimating now.

    Thanks for the advice guys, that's why I'm going to make this an open-top tank... I think he'll enjoy jumping into the free air more than the hood of the tank. I'll call him flipper! :D



























    LOL Just Kidding! It is eventually going to be an open top though, I'm going to just make sure I cover it with a mesh screen. :thumbs_up

    Thanks again guys,
