So are you going to slow down now?
Well, I say yes but if you walk into that LFS, there is never a wrasse you don’t need. I mean they had a Neoguinaicus which is another I’d be tempted on.
But I’ll probably stick to coral again unless there’s any specific fish I do want.

I think now I’m mostly after females of the species I currently have as I’ve been wanting to experiment more with ‘pairing’ and I now have a nice tank size that it’ll likely work in.

What wrasses or fish in general do you guys want to see more of?
Here’s my updated stock list. Minus the Male Meleagris Leopard.

You put anything more in it’ll look like this

It’s the funniest thing, the tank sounds like it’s heavily stocked but because everything is smaller even at max size (average is 3-4 inches) the tank has nice large gaps of emptiness.

Here’s the tank after the Jade was removed, overall everyone seems happier and it’ll be interesting to see if the Jade is happier today.

Now just to ‘lure’ these pencils out of the sand. Hopefully they realise the bully is gone and decide to stay out.

I love Gonis and Euphyllia. Maybe too much

You’re right, it needs more fish

Well, this is until everyone displays. Then it’s a gorgeous light show!

And coral news I’m purchasing this gem. It’ll be in my tank on Wednesday

I have one that’s very similar in my nano, I love it as the base is a green colour and the top of the tentacle is a dull pink!
Yes… My nano is now basically a Goni Tank. It’s just missing the Amazeballs, and I’m now just waiting for one to be fragged.

Don’t even tempt me, I’m now waiting for a female laboutei (I almost had a pair a few weeks ago but waited for the Kaleidos, turns out a Laboutei was meant to be as this guy was here for a good 3-4 weeks) to get a blue colour from my male, then a lineatus is still a possibility…
But I think I’ll be focusing more on sand sleepers now.

And I have more torches again. And even more frogspawn. I bought one frog plus other corals in the SBB auction and the freebie that came with was a frog :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: . And a few more Gonis ….new RBTA that one of my clowns has started use as host

I still see rock! You need more coral!!
Got six more coming besides the single Goni from a live sale. And they need room to grow , I think . Maybe I’ll change my username to “I can think” in recognition of that brilliant deduction

Dang this is annoying, looked on the camera and… Laboutei was swimming upright as though he had a spinal injury.
Don’t know what caused it as he was fine even before I left.

On the other hand, the Kuiter’s is out and proud!
