neuwave Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Their is a new boss in the tank also, most of the fish gets out of the way when he come around. I also got tired of the brown looking sand so I took it all out. Can't believe how clean it look without it. Also build a small my monti caps collection separated island. I really need to find my battery charger for my camera also Bowing before your "New tank boss". Link to comment

Tamberav Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Very beautiful, love the fish selection too! Link to comment
jball1125 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 One of my favorite sps tanks on here, great job with everything. Link to comment
bigswordy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Sorry to hear about the nudis at least they are manageable...you will be pest free soon enough. If you have a wrasse they will also help...every Z & P tank should have a wrasse I say which genus of wrasses are best for picking off nudis...??? Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 I say a 4 line or 6 line wrasse is pretty good at hunting for pest. Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hello Everyone! It's been awhile and keeping everyone waiting. Life been on the rough and going through alot lately.

neuwave Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Looks gorgeous. About time you posted that anthias! Lol Looking at your blue eyes makes me want more cardinals. Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 My LFS has some Square Spot Anthias in stock, oh if I had a bigger tank. Hope all is well with you, it's nice to see an update, and what an update it is. Tank looks 100% ! Christine Link to comment

eksblenny Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hi d'Espresso love your school of cardinals! How long have you had them and have they been schooling the whole time? I have 4 of these fish but have only had them for about a month. Fortunately they still stay together Link to comment
BeardedReeferLLC Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Nice FTS. beautiful fish shoal. Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hi d'Espresso love your school of cardinals! How long have you had them and have they been schooling the whole time? I have 4 of these fish but have only had them for about a month. Fortunately they still stay together Thank you Blenny! Thanks for also stopping by my page. I have this school of fish for quite awhile about 1 and 1/2 years. I have started with 5 Blue eye cardinals then when they got bigger i went to my lfs and got 3 more then i lost 4 but now i have now total 12 cardinals and the last 3 is still babies so i keep the trio in my other tank until they get larger. so if you look in the picture you can see the different stages of growth. When they get bigger or older their eyes started to darken and with much more blue. Also my Blotched Anthia keeps everyone in check, so they stay close together at all time. Most think they are boring but to me i think They are beautiful fish because you get memorizes at their blue eyes glowing and i like how they make my fish tank look like its from the bottom of the ocean of paradise. I recommend you get 3 more because they will stay close together and school. i also have notice if i take out my Anthia or any big fish. they will not school much and would splits in groups.

Having that anthias definitely keeps the cardinals in check. Just like my flame wrasse. Darting thru the cardinals keeps them closer together. But nothing to worry about, no harm but makes for a nice display. Link to comment

Squared Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 the smallest genicanthus you could get would be the watanabei. but even those get to 6" Are the anthias and cardinals the only fish in your aquarium now? Link to comment
