revaltion131 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I'm not normally a huge LPS person but I love the neon colors in your system. In one picture, you lineatus looks huge. What size is he? @ nUgZ: you should totally try a wrasse. They are awesome, but they are addictive so be careful. Link to comment
MarvinsReef Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Nice shots! I love the Wrasses. It's inspired me to get a Wrasse for my tank. Thanks... congrats on the new wrasse...

I'm getting to a point where my chalice collection, Aussie scolymias, and z's & p's collection are equal in number or morphs... the Lineatus is a pretty decent sized one... approx 4"-5"...

revaltion131 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Ah, he looked like he could have been upwards of 5". Very nice fish. Will you start trying to encrust the chalices to rocks or will they stay where they are? I have little to no experience with them but they've always fascinated me. Link to comment

I'll hopefully get a better vid of him once I get a tripod... some of the chalices are already incorporated on the rockwork... some of them will remain on the sand bed coz they look awesome on the 3" disks... for me anyway...

That would be an expensive addiction as well... Thanks... congrats on the new wrasse... Haven't picked him up yet. I need to make a cover for the tank first... Link to comment

I need to make a cover for the tank first... you definitely need to cover up the tank... hope it's not rimless so you don't have to come up with a way to keep the clean rimless look and also have a cover... good luck again with the F&F wrasse collection...

fewskillz Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 which ones do you have now? Cirrhilabrus solorensis - Redhead Solon Fairy Cirrhilabrus exquisitus - Exquisite Fairy Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura - Bluehead Fairy (the new guy, prettiest $26 fish I've ever bought!) I had ordered a Lubbock's fairy too, but he didn't survive shipping. His water was very cold, he was the closest to the ice pack. I'll probably try again next time I order fish as well as go for a few Flashers next time. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I always thought they were like $200!!! Link to comment
