Leafy sea dragon...

I love my regal tank! I have had such an awesome experience with him ever since day one. He's never been shy, is always up for some food and hasn't had any fading of his color! His name is reggie =) Surprising too, I had a bad bout with my tank and ended up losing a few fish due to a combined...

Well I don't have much for advice on water, but I love the photos! It's so nice to be able to see them grow
