I got a Red Velvet Wrasse (cirrhilabrus rubrisqamis). Got him from the CR wednesday-- Abby tried to sell me the rhomboid instead. He is a beauty.

Nice pick up!!! But................

GPhiAce · Aug 30, 2009

I will get one tomorrow. And make sure I put my watermark/gang sign on it.

I thought you were buying a computer???

GPhiAce · Aug 30, 2009

I did. The McBook Pro and an IPod. I am having a great time trying to figure things out. spent almost 2k on Apple. I couldn't say no to the Red Velvet. Matt gave me a good deal and Abby tried to sell me the Rhomboid. Not quite ready for that yet.

Abby showed me that Rhomboid...sorry, I don't see what the big deal is. That fish isn't $200-600 worth of cool. Heck, I know it's blasphemy to say so, but 6-lines or fairies look cooler than that wrasse!

Ouch Paul... 2k? You truly live the student-loan life! I'm sticking with Windoze until I graduate. Then, I'm getting a MacBook for my 'tenure-job' present to myself. For now, I'm absolutely loving my Lenova netbook (2lbs light), which I got for nothing as a part of my summer research assistantship.

Really, I am selling my Lenovo Y410 to my sister. I loved it then hated it. I have sent it in 5 times in almost 2 years and had to hit the system restore button another 4 times. No exaggeration. Yeah, it hurt a little, but I have decent credit and a little saved for it. I may be singing a different tune later in the semester when I start traveling to interviews.

That fish IS $250 worth of cool-- if you are into fish like that. I must admit that there are some beautiful fairies out there. I would love to have my next tank be a fairy wrasse tank, with of course the customary clown pair and maybe a few gobies.

I won't argue wrasse taste... but that's a lot of money for a so-so looking fish.
But my Lenovo S10 NETBOOK is awesome... not the same as 'normal' notebooks like the Y410. Just as fast, way less money, and 1/2 the price.

Here is the best I could do-- i don't have any patience now. Tell me what you think. I would like a pink margin next-- don't know when though.

GPhiAce · Sep 1, 2009

Randina, you called for a pic, but no comment? What's with that? is it too fuzzy for you?

cee · Sep 1, 2009

If you ever see a supermale Rhomboid, you'll get it.

ct_vol · Sep 2, 2009

If I took that pic, I wouldn't want my gang symbol associated with it...

GPhiAce · Sep 2, 2009

It's not my best work, but you get the idea. Plus, you want that fish.

And yeah-- if I saw a supermale, I would definitely think about it. But then again, I don't know what a supermale looks like.

ct_vol · Sep 2, 2009

I won't be adding any fish for a good long while...

GPhiAce · Sep 2, 2009

I never believe you when you say you are not going to get something. That's like listening to me when I say the same thing. Yeah, I hold off for a little while, but in time, I crack and so will you.

Here's a couple, note the rhomboid tail on the 2nd, not quite so distinct on the first:

Well, I'm not looking for anything... lol Only a few that I'd actually pick up and I doubt I will find any of those available...
