ApiratenamedJohn Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Nice hog. Do puppy and frog fish eye ball each other? humphrey is more interested in the tv then the tanks. but coach (my 11 month rott pup) loves staring down the fish. I don't know why but that fish is so fascinating, great pics! i agree! he is easily my favorite fish. im trying to find a couple more. but im not looking for another yellow. i want to get the whole color range. i think that would be awesome. and some cell phone pics the fiance managed to snag of mr. pink.

nate21887 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ha my weimaraner (spelling?) Loves to watch tv but our 2 year old loves watching the tank. She is stuck on my fighting conch, always waiting for it to move then yelling "its moving" lol Seeing the other color variants all in the same tank would be interesting, I asked my LFS if they ever get those fish in and sadly only special order Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 pics or it didnt happen i can try. haha but it will probably be a while before i get those pics. me getting up usually distracts them.

nate21887 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If I didn't have to pre pay I would order one to just check it out lol I have a 20L in the closet, thinking of making that an aggressive tank if I only could get the better half to go with it With having the nano on the fritz right now she isn't like the cash drops I been making on that, be hard to convince her of a second tank at the moment Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yeah I understand that. I have a 125 in the garage I can't wait till I can set up. I want a scorpion fish tank with all sorts. Link to comment
nate21887 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yea, I would love to have a 6' tank, it'd be great for a fowlr with swimmers like lionfish and tangs. My first tank was 120g, 4'x2'x2' miss that thing, it would have made the perfect reef. Big tanks are awesome for stability, my nano I have to keep a constant eye on. Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I want to have it set up, somehow connected to the bc 14 and 29 and possibly another system as well. Thanks to metrokat I'm thinking maybe a rsm. Have the rsm set up as a small pipefish and mandarin or seahorse and macro algae tank. The contents of the 14 can move to the 29. And the 14 can be a mantis shrimp tank. and the 125 will be a a scorpionfish and eel reef. That's just how I see it in my head at least. Lol Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 New addition. Pics tomorrow. Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Ok so some bad news and a few noobish questions. Bad news first. My tomato clown got an anchor worm in his eye. he didn't make it. my first fish loss. Noob question time. I have a couple aptaisia that just came up out of nowhere. I can't throw a peppermint shrimp in there cause Terrance and houdini will eat it. What can I do? And how should I go about it? Good news time. Added a yellow tail damsel and a Clarki to the tank amd they are doing awesome. Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Alright, picked up some aptaisia x finally. It went from one little aptaisia to two, so its time to stop messing around before it's an epidemic. In other news I added a few new things, basically just bumped up the cuc. I did add a scutus. My lfs has a bunch. I might go get a couple more and give them these turbos. Doing water changes and cleaning now, pics will be up later tonight. Link to comment
