~|~ Night-rida's Mixed SPS,LPS, & Softies 55g reef tank ~|~

new fish and ricordia

Well got my package from reefs2go today..

included: Mata Tang (2.5" long)
free blue ricordia

I plan on upgrading my tank to either a 6' 125g or 150g by the end of the year or when this fish gets over 4-5" long whichever is first(so save the tang=big tank talk) lol plus Im sick of looking through all the scratches on my front pane on this 12year old 55g tank. He was hiding for 1st hour today, little damsel was harrassing it for a while. finally it just came out of its hole and started letting the other tankmates who's going to be the new boss in town its a little skinny, but It did eat a little.. also been eating & spitting out brine too.. I've fed it some nori, brine, and formula 2 cube soaked in pythoplankton.. the pictures are low quality for details, but the fish has nice stripes, little yellow around eyes, and stripes kinda glow when it gets pissed and expands it dorsal fins.. The blue ricordia true colors havent came out, I'll give it a few days.. its got a green/red center mouth and blueish/purple polyps. and it was Free! thanks 3reef sponser's special offer!

 

mata tang is beautiful! and for free you can never complain about the ric

 

Beautiful tang!!! Good choice. Good reason to upgrade in the future!

 

I love the tank!!

 

Nice tang. Congrats.

 

thanks everyone! seems like a winner

 

he's very pretty! conrats

 

well mr mata tang is eating good tonite.. was a little worried from all the spitting out of food last night.. it enjoyed pythoplankton soaked brine shrimp earlier.. stomach is less pinched looking now.. which is a plus.. Im notorious for my low quality photos, so I did a little video of the guy.. enjoy..;D

 

He's so pretty!!!

 

Nice, glad he's eating for you.
