130 X 36 x 36 inbound...any suggestions?

happy holidays to all!
I have been overly focused on the qts which have seen a lot of action..some local reefers took a few of the pairs...I still have the bicolor, lemon peel and candy pairs...
now have a cocos lemon pair, thank you Kevin!
Here is the larger cocos lemon and the tiny joc- she is kind of hard to see...

in that tank is also the lone golden and black cap..there is also a lemon peel that was really going after the cocos thru the isolation box and had me very concerned about what was coming....
beautiful and large cocos lemon...

the joc..

here are some pics of the cocos (on top) and the lemon (bottom) going a it thru the plexi...placing the isolation box on the pvc and allowing them to get in each other's face has seemed to work, lol., but this did have me very concerned and I need the acclimation box soon, so, I had one week and then needed to put the cocos in the tank.....
if things went south I was ready to pull her...


a cool pic but not her reflection...they did this for hours on end...was worried for the cocos as the lemon in the tank was the aggressor...

the multicolor coming over to ask if I am seeing the craziness between the cocos lemon and lemon...

a moment of peace...you can also see the smaller cocos lemon with the "meany" lemon...and low and behold, there is the baby Navarchus that I yanked almost 20 times to scrape lymph off her...she really hated me for a long time but now, with company in the tank, she has gotten a bit bolder...though, it seems she has stalled on her transition to adult colors...the fish typically change over quite rapidly and at relatively small sizes...

here is the other qt...the geni hybrid is in here and there is one of his girlfriends....

the bicolor pair, in the same tank as the genis...

the "meany" and the navarchus actually photobombing a pic, lol...

and the reasons I needed the 2 isolation boxes...




 
the lemons are getting along great...as I slipped her from the isolation box into the tank she remained inside her piece of pvc...I slid that piece into some others and then added many more slowly over the next few hours...all was done in the dark and lights have been off..but their interactions have been very mellow and low key...we shall what happens when the lights go on!

That is great news! I'm glad they decided to continue rearing the Clarions.:fun4:

Do you know the age of the larva in the photo?

Hey Karen,
This is excellent news but was told it was accidental again, those crazy Clarion party animals!:dance:...Wen etal are going to finish up their Maze work, which is, truly, dare to say amazing, and then shift to Clarions...I think this pic is somewhere around day 35-40, forget exactly but will check...
Happy New Year!
TK
PS Instead of Barry White and wine maybe we should show Fabio and Faith, Connie and the others some Clarion movies!
