Felicia Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Well I'm now hoping that no one buys him by the end of the week. I want to see him in your tank! Do barbfish not have spines on their anal fins? Lions have spines on the dorsal, pelvic, and anal fins so holding from the bottom isn't really any safer. Like I said, you're braver than me!

kimberbee Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 This is such a beautiful tank! I admit, I skimmed the first few and last few pages, missing a lot in between. Has it been going relatively steady these last 5 years? I'm impressed! What has been your biggest challenge in keeping it healthy and going? Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yeah, now we're all going to be hoping you get that cute lil' guy. Quote Link to comment

I don't know, but he is pretty tiny, so I just might not have noticed them I actually have never been "stung" by any fish, just stabbed by angelfish spines haha This is such a beautiful tank! I admit, I skimmed the first few and last few pages, missing a lot in between. Has it been going relatively steady these last 5 years? I'm impressed! What has been your biggest challenge in keeping it healthy and going? Thank you! Haha there's just a lot of random chatting in the middle Yes, It's moved 3 times, but probably the thing that changes the most is the variety of macro algae, I'm always collecting new ones Towards the beginning I battled lots of hair algae and it was so ugly and annoying. But once I got rid of it, I'd say the biggest challenge is making sure the slower grower and more delicate algae don't get overrun and killed off. I have this weird variety of caulerpa that looks like mini prolifera, and it grows really fast and it "reaches out", creating a blanket towards the surface that killed off a lot of macros the other year when I stopped pruning (I think in 2013?) Yeah, now we're all going to be hoping you get that cute lil' guy. Most people don't want him when they find out he gets 6" So I tried to take a FTS, and then the power went out 1 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Fun that his spines are so tiny that they didn't sting you. Angelfish spines don't sound too pleasant. Luckily I've managed to avoid any stings or sticks from fish thus far. Hoping I can keep from ever getting stung by the lions. Quote Link to comment

I think you really have to be jabbed by the spines in order for them to sting you. I've been poked by a foxface before, but nothing happened, so I think just brushing the spines doesn't do anything Scorp is still at the LFS, now I'm kinda glad he is hard to spot haha 3 Quote Link to comment

Felicia Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Awesome photos! Tidepooling is so fun And yeah, I think there has to be some pressure for the spines to actually puncture your skin. Glad the cute little guy is still there! You going to take him home tomorrow? Quote Link to comment
