SkyFire's 46 Bow Front - Update 1-1-16

deffiently some progess looking good!

 

Thanks.
CUC comming + more macro and should get a mandarin soon (yay...my 1st real SW fish for the tank) Is so exciting!

 

Oooh I can't wait for you to get your mandarin!! Those are such gorgeous fish. What coloration are you getting?

 

Thank you.
Either the Blue (which I prefer) or Red, just depends which is catches my eye more as far as bright coloration goes, they only have males right now so will have to get a female later
Is ok though, will be happy to have such a pretty fish in my tank to watch.
I still have the 2 adult Mollies and about 8 fry.....sent 14-18 fry to the fuge already.

 

The mollies aren't eating the babies? Or do you have them sectioned off?

 

Nope they're not have seen the male chase one but not catch it (they are very fast) plus the Pukani rock has holes in it (is kinda lacy) as does the Fiji(not as many though).
I did get most out the day they were born so have a bunch...anyone want 1 or 2 or 5???

 

haha no thanks But I bet they are cute!

 

Yeah sure...cute...all eyes right now, at least from the top.
Dad is a platinum sailfin and mom is a marbled lyretail.....most of the babies look like they'll be platinum w/ a few black spots like their older sister (who also has a sailfin but no lyretail).

 

New Addition!

I added a bit more macro the other day and today added a Yellow Tail Damsel (Spike) I got for free at the LFS.....just hope it's easy to get out later. I plan on adding a bigger tank so will catch it to go into it and there it'll stay.
The mandarins at the LFS that I went to I didn't really care for, were too dull in color. I do know of one that usually gets in nice ones so will try there. Will seed the 46 with the ton o' pods I have in my nano tank.
