    Ok...I get excited by new fish!!! Does not seem to happen often anymore. :-/


    Stocking 5 gallon "Pico" set up as of yesterday from "spare parts"

    [​IMG]



    After lengthy discussion with LFS, we decided on the following. All very, very small juveniles....(decided to go "calm/mellow" in lieu of aggressive, exotic, or real busy....)


    [​IMG]
    Yellow Boxfish (Ostracion cubicus)




    [​IMG]
    Scooter Blenny (Synchiropus ocellatus)


    [​IMG]
    Pajama Cardinal (Sphaeramia nematoptera)


    Am anxious to see how they get along in small tank...

    As fun as stocking Main or Nanocube tanks.

    And you well might be...[​IMG]

    My little tank has a good proportion of very mature live rock, good light/flow, oxygen added, poly-filter supplement, and last but not least, very rigorous maintenance habits by "keeper"....;D
