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

that is not my fish...didn't get thru pia...only used that pic for size reference...the incoming bandit is a half inch, which is smaller, I think, than the one in the pic.......sorry for the confusion...
 
Can't wait to see the tiny bandit. I love how they look as juveniles with their lack of white above the black bar. I've been considering the purchase of a Venustus. How have they been doing in qt? Also, are they in with the flameback pair? If I were to get one it'd be with a pair of argi's. I remember you saying they can be timid so I originally discarded the idea of one, but wasn't sure if a slow acclimation process with a box after qt would work? I was also thinking of adding a venustus angel right after the removal of my clowns.. they dominate the aquarium so I was thinking maybe that would eliminate the angels becoming truly dominate towards a new fish
 
Hey bud,
I am excited to see her as well...they are awesome looking at any size but the lil skunk bandits are really special...the venustus are doing well but overall they are shy fish..one is always out and about while the other is rarely ever seen..yes, they are with the fb pair...an aggressive clown would not be good for a venustus...good luck with all...tk
 
well here she is...
half-inch skunk bandit...
could fit easily on a quarter with plenty of room to spare...
one of the 3 inch bandits is checking her out in a couple of the pics...






 
Wow how much I want one that size. What a great fish, I really hope he does well for you and gets along with your other bandits
 
Beautiful little fish! I can't imagine how they even collected that lil guy at depth! Or how they even noticed it! Do you have a secret source of captive bred Bandits that are post larval? I think that first shot of Bali aquarich first clarion babies was bigger than your lil bugger! Lol. Amazing find bud. Congrats. And as previously stated, many happy fish years to come.
 
BTW not sure if I ever mentioned it, but I had the lucky experience to snorkle with a bandit angel when I was in Kauai, many years ago. It was the first time I'd ever seen one alive (no one sold/kept them back then). The fish was extremely inquisitive.... followed me around... but then got very shy behind rocks when I paid attention, but then started following me around again when I stopped paying attention :lol:

I even managed a pic with my sad little disposable underwater camera...
