Really sweet tank Peter! Love the Tinkeri b/f, one of mt favs. Watch that Asfur for agression. No tangs? A Sohal would really look sweet in there.

Thanks! That's actually a tink/burgessi hybrid. I hope to get a true tink soon. The asfur is super mellow actually. I'ver had him like 4-5 years now. The melanopus clowns can be a handful though! Not planning on any tangs, honestly. I don't really love tangs... the few I do like are too big and/or aggressive for a tank full of butterflies. Plus, the moorish idol really fills the niche of a tang, and I don't want any competition for him.

Here's a neat pic of some obviously closely related fish:



And to think there are additionally 2 more similar species!

And Aly, this one's for you... we shall call him laser eye fish



The angel was being a punk and swatting him with his tail. Guess he learned not to do that again!

This is for all the damsel haters!

Thanks. FTS don't look so great, because I have different T5's on each end And I still haven't finished the rock work on the left side. Here's a vid though. I have a lot of fish, but majority of them don't get any bigger than 4-5"...

Here's a FTV

I don't think anyone would care about the light to much, I bet it's nice to see in person with all that movement.

[SDguy]

I also don't have a good enough camera to do it... point and shoots aren't great for FO atnks in general. The video will have to do for now

What an awesome display Peter. What is the longest you've heard anyone keeping a Moorish Idol alive and kickin'?

[SDguy]

There's a couple guys on RC currently at the 4-5 year mark. Another guy kept a couple for 10 years before a hurricane killed the tank. I think the key to them is TONS of food. They'll get skinny very fast, even after being established for a long time. I really need an autofeeder for this tank.

Beautiful specimen. Its streamer is nice and long.

Update on the mitrtus butterfly and a regal I bought around 6 weeks ago from VP. Both eating NLS pellets at this point

Beautiful regal angel

[SDguy]

Thanks, I'm really diggin' her. Just hope she can hang in the big tank eventually. She needs to be more aggressive when she eats, so she probably won't see the DT for some time...

Beautiful fish peter. Glad to see you found a healthy regal.
