SBB - Pre Black Friday- 900 WYSWYG Corals!

I can't believe we don't have any regulars on the group that aren't fish addicts when it comes to some more exotic stocking choices. Shocks me @Thuan isn't more of a fish fan too.

Rarer/exotic fish I want (not sure that I'll get them) is a pair of hellfreichi dart fish. I just honestly don't know if they go with tile fish since they are similarly shaped. Borbonias anthias as I mentioned, Watanabe angelfish, I'd love a swissguard basslet too but I'm committed to an assessor basslet since they swim sideways and upside down so I don't know if they will go together, Ive been very interested in garden eels, I want a three spot high hat fish, curious wormfish if I can get one, fingered dragonet, and I don't know what is really a rare tang other than stupid ridiculous things like aberrant tangs.

Fish get in the way of what's important.

Iridis wrasse, 4.5 inches, not too bad. Halichoeres so they do great pest control.

Sixline and springeri damsel seem to do the trick. I'm actually on the fence about a school of springeri in a larger build. Originally I heard they school, reading more about them they don't. I really want a shoaling fish. Reading more it seems like evansi anthias shoal together.

My fish list has at least one that’s exotic at least to me. Blue Star Leopard wrasse. Probably the most striking fish I have color-wise.
otherwise list is pretty mundane
Blue Eyed Bristletooth Tang
Melanurus wrasse-female(still)
‘Orange Spot Blenny
2 Bangaii cardinal
2 Numnuts Clowns

That's a beauty.

Lol..nah..I like fish. Most of the fish I really like don't work for Reefs tanks though

Too many horror stories about six lines, but in a larger tank I think the issues wouldn't exist.

I've read that about springeri too, yes/no, also that they will find a small area and simply claim it from there others. Might be a spawning thing. Maybe toss 6 in and see how it goes. They are cheap and colorful little fish, and you can find out for yourself.

Get creative. Like I said, surprised more people in our group aren't fish addicts. Tim and Steve seem the most likely to get a new interesting fish friend.

Yeah she is. I got lucky I think. Other than the usual wrasse “I want to hide for a while” routine initially, is very active and has no issues with fro food.

Just think, them clowns will probably outlive all the other fish.

I could handfeed my foxface...need to get another one. For Reefs I'm all about utility in fish. Steve's leopard is nice

Mine lives in my montipora colony. Friendly little fish. Thought it was a clown fish forever until I got a bta and it couldn't hang out there. It tried courting the female clown and doing the shaking dance forever.

Well my next purchases are going to include another Macropharyngodon species , most likely a Black and maybe another smaller tang or another wrasse with Anampses species being a possibility

 

[stoney7713]

Don't forget a starfish @Kasrift I almost got one of these too.

I've been stalking their site for a few months. They don't quarantine but do use copper and hyposalinity for their fish. They also have a 15 day guarantee on most of them.

I have one in my 13.5, small pest control and friendly.

Not if I don‘t murder them first . Their latest victim was one of my 2, now one Princess Peach Frogspawn. They’re very lucky I have another tank.

I've been looking at the same thing. My fromia milleporella died. Had it just about a year. Not sure why it died, but my daughter loves starfish.

 

[steveschuerger]

I have a soft spot for urchins. Partly cause you can put silly hats and such on them. The one in the 60 is rocking a cat ear hat that @stoney7713 printed up

Same with my kids! They are pretty cool and all but my kids sway my hobbies for sure.

Nems, I have a thing for them. I know I will be clearing a spot in my large tank for 2 of my new ones, still haven't figured out where yet. But I really like nems. The Sebae could be ok in the 20l if it's the only thing besides a few fish and a few small corals. But I'm going to create a spot for the Ritteri for up high in the 75.

If I do a tank upgrade 125 or larger next year, I might sneak a Haddoni in there too. Also a Malu... Ack!!! See!
