Raeges 75 gallon Adventure

[JoshH]

I had these swimming in tank for about 8 seconds....

Then they did the wrasse thing and took dirt naps awesome to see em tuck in beautiful!

I want them!!!

 

[Scurvy]

Dirt Naps made me chuckle! Nothing to worry about as you know. Just the stresses of shipping. They'll pop out in no time I'm sure!

It’s going to be a colorful journey of great times and bottles of whiskey.
Love Melenurus

The color is intoxicating excited for new guys to settle and find thier groove. Then its photo bomb time!

Thanks Don Really took some time considering color and how to get em to get along on restock. Happy with the color palette if the dirt napped will pop up and add his green to the mix lol.
One thing wife and I really noticed adding these guys is how fast little filter grew! From thumbnail size I had expected him to be dwarfed but doesn’t look that small next to newer arrivals.

#honestyinreefing 2 days ago I was pulling some gha backside right hand rock and it moved slightly and arch dropped 1/2 inch. Caught me by surprise that it moved so easily. Since that disruption the tiniest clown has not been seen and he did hang in that area when none near the other Vinci.......
Not sure if I will let other grow bigger then get a mate or let it ride solo ;Sorry

 

[Crabby48]

Sorry Ray I hope the little bugger comes out

[Raege]

It’s the triple play 3 different families three different body shapes so far it’s a thing of beauty
Halichoeres Melanurus siting! Wife caught him coming out of sand went to try and get a pic and spooked em straight back into the sand Next pop up everyone is going to leave him some space. At least he didn’t crack his skull dirt diving lol.

Hi salt friends bad news good story. The pink watchmen that came in cpl days ago didn’t have a size listed on wed site. WARNING should have asked the question what size is it to small to,big...
Well it was just over 4 inches and they are listed as a max size of 4 inches . I like a smaller fish 1 so I k ow I have some fun time watching em grow 2 I k is they can’t be near end of life cycle.
This guy came in stressed and stayed that way never ate and behavior was erratic. No outward signs of disease beautiful till I pulled it from the tank. ;Sorry
Medium is biggest I went with on restock cept this guy slipped thru. To excited on order-saw it coming but you always hope. Everyone else is doing well going to try a vid of evening feed they spazzed out this morning. Loved the colors darting around.

Sorry about the goby.

Thanks my friends I broke my own rule of not buying anything without knowing what size your getting and maybe getting full grown not knowing how much gas is left in tank strike one. Think it just wasn’t meant to be never recovered from stress final shipping ;Sorry She was beautiful to the end I wish i had a clue but sometimes nothing can be done. I’m as ok,with it as ya can be.

I am feeding smaller chunks of frozen, you can see them fill up lol, I don't want one to pop!
There are three of them that attack the frozen plus the cbb and tassle file fish, bit like chumming!

Alrighty then! More good news bad news....
Good news sand sifting starfish and hermits doing thier jobs! Bad news it was on the Leopard wrasse that I just added that did the normal wrasse thing of burying in sand right away. Not unheard of to lose a Wrasse on intro but bummed he was beautiful. More on the good news side the Melanurus popped out if sand again tonight huntin pecking all other fish ignoring him so thumbs up. Hopefully get hum on normal first shifter hours soon.
Vids not best but it has fish in it!
