Thanks Tristan. You're becoming more and more like Justin everyday. HATER! :mrgreen:

 

[Tristan]

hahaha

I removed Crabs are Evil Society from my signature. I'm done with crab haters, now and for good! :mrgreen:

 

[daugherty]

crab haters suck

 

[Tristan]

Oh yea i caught a baby orange serpent starfish smaller than a dime, along with 3 money cowries and some small shrimp that came with a rock,

 

[dcantucson]

Great! What kind of shrimp is it? Cocktail? :lol:

 

[Tristan]

Crabs ARE evil but i give them plenty of ethical treatment, anyway

 

[Tristan]

dont know about the shrimp yet, they are way too small to determine. hopefully they dont become cocktail before they get to a decent size

 

[Tristan]

I just bought a Coral Beauty and some skunk cleaner shrimp. i bought him since i couldnt get my hands on a mandarin fish. Im also looking to grab a dragonface pipefish in a couple of weeks.

ill try to grab some tonight.

lol he already bullied the maroon out of his spot. i feel an epic battle coming.

Good luck with the CB I had one and he came with ick on him. :frustrat: He didnt make it. I would just sit there and watch him for hours.

i drip acclimated him for just an hour but he's looking really good right now.

 

[dcantucson]

Watch that CB to see if he picks on your corals. Mine did. :(

 

[U4BOYZ]

Beautiful featherdusters. I'm jealous, my butterfly fish ate mine. :(

 

[d2mini]

Pics!!! :D

 

[Tristan]

yea im gonna take some pics as soon as i have access to a camera, which should probably be the same time she stops being shy. hopefully she behaves herself.

 

[dcantucson]

When will that be? We want a real commitment. :lol:

 

[Tristan]

she seems to just be staying in her little cave right now, so i cant take a picture. how long does it usually take for a fish to be fully aquainted with the aquarium?

I also found a blue linkia. i'll try to get pics of him when i get the chance.

 

[dcantucson]

That scrubber looks to be going strong. Do you like the results you're getting?

BTW. That is an incredible Coral Beauty. It does justice to it's name. :lol:

 

[Tristan]

thanks, dcan. I havent seen much improvement yet but im hoping great results are coming soon. if after a month it doesnt work out. im just going to buy a really good skimmer.
