Yea cant wait!

Pinkstreak are super random on when they are available. I got 1 from Dr reef a year ago and its been one of my favorite fish. When I first put him in I didnt see him for 3 months I thought he died lol. Now hes my most nonscared actively swimming fish. They have such a great little personality. My LFS saw 2 up for sale and grabbed them for me. They keep their copper at therapeutic levels so wasn't too scared as well as they arent super susceptible to ich or disease. So I did a formalin dip and a Meth Blue dip and in the tank they went. Such awesome little guys and they group together.

I should note they are horrifically bad shippers sadly. So I am supper happy to have gotten the 3 healthy guys I got.

Do all three cohabitate in the same tank without issues? How large is the system?

Yup! They follow each other around. The tanks a 180g so plenty of room to never see each other.

That's awesome. I love these guys but they have been so few and far between. I was on a wait list for like a year at my LFS. I think they forgot about me.

My LFS is so good. Corals are all great, fish are great. He knows what I’m after and texts me if something I want is available. Although he tried to get me to buy a Yurple Tang the other day lol. I cant spend $3500 on a fish at this point in my life.
