New Fish on way!!!!

LFS called and said he had 3 of these inbound, and wanted to know if I wanted one (he knows me pretty well 8) ) - could not say no to such a pretty fellow. (Ok, my tank is "over-stocked" now...am just going to have to increase water change volumns - was planning to anyway and make room for this guy. :-/ ) - 2nd fish addition in 3 years! --- going to get a good Quarantine before going in tank!!!

Great fish. Watch out at the begining as it may jump. I had one that got harrased by a 6 line wrass so much I had to get rid of it.

 

ouch...hopefully my sixline will be more polite. - he has only been in tank for a week and stays pretty much hidden in one corner except to come out and eat. ---

Thanks for info...will keep an eye on. My LFS is very understanding about returning fish if I have to.

Rgds,

You should be fine then.
I typically cover my tank with plexi glass when adding new fish just in case.

 

arent those pretty expensive? care to share how much?
nice fish though!

 

I'm jealous

Congrats on the beautiful fish.

 

Yep they are pretty pricey...LFS asking $100 -- but usually he gives me 15-20% off...anyway will be most expensive "critter" I have ever invested in, and as I said before I have not purchased any fish in about 3 years, except for a $14 sixline couple of weeks ago. All things considered I think it a good investment.

Talked to LFS today...he offered to give me male/female pair for $140...I said yep! --- drun, yet another fish. If we had a contest on most fish per gallon, bet I would come close to winning - not necessarily a good thing. At least I have mostly small ones. :-[

1 shrimp goby
2 yellow watchman gobys
1 sixline wrasse
1 coral beauty
2 blue damsels
2 humbug dascylus
2 Maroon Clowns (mature)
1 yellow tang
1 Mandarin goby
1 Hippo Tang

All but the wrasse have been in tank for over three years and I have had no nitrate problems...with these two I think I have reached limit and will have to keep close eye on water params (which I do anyway ) -

Rgds,

Scott
