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

Bummer re: pics! But thanks for keeping us in the loop. Any new pics from your group? :)

yeah, really strange he wouldn't iet me post the pics and videos...a small colins tomorrow, hope fukky a couple more baby bandits this summer, and hopefully a surprise or two...will try and get some pics up soon...
 
Have you noticed any change in the hybrid genicanthus?

Sadly, there has not been much of a change at this point but he is a great fish.
He eats everything, is an active swimmer, and quite bold. Very happy to have a healthy fish for now.
There is a lot of traffic in their 125qt and it is too small for them begin with.
In early June the fish in the 250qt and some from the 125qt are going in the dt.
Then the geni trio will be moved into the 250 and will hopefully have it to themselves.
I am crossing my fingers that when they are alone in there and have the time to slow down and notice each other, things will change.
I will hopefully add another trio at some point.
Need to take some pics and will post soon...
 
still didn't land one?
I can try asking the collector again to send one- did your lfs guy ever hook-up with him? lemme know...
lol, if you can catch her, she is yours...

My LFS guys is not interested lol Ill keep looking though. Can't wait to the "The King" really cool and rare fish.
 
Ted, where are you getting the smaller colini from?

Still haven't been able to locate a source for any as of right now. Just thinking I can try rearing multibars (prespawning behavior in QT already!) and colini now so when I have money I can breed peppermints and narcosis. ;)

lol, sounds like a plan...she is coming from kk...will toss up her pic later this evening...
 
the new colins hanging with the navarchus....
the small conspic went after her which surprised the heck out of me...
 
That nararchus is such a trooper! Which fish are due to hit the DT soon? Such a gorgeous collection you have going.

Thank you!
Lol, you are so right about her! I love this fish and she is one I keep an extra close eye on. She has warmed up a lot since Aug but I did put her through hell when she was sick. Lol, apparently she is unhappy enough with me that she is still showing mainly juvi coloration, almost a year later. Her slow transformation is really quite remarkable.
I was surprised to see her showing dominance towards the colins but was oddly relieved. While, I was fearful for the colins being just added, part of me was happy to see the navarchus acting dominant. I have never seen her display any boldness before. Maybe she is stepping up her game! If she keeps that up, I will be tempted to add her to dt.
adding more Marco Dry Rock to dt when the fish are moved over.

the fish going into the dt:

from the 250qt-
conspic- 3.5 inch, small joc- 1.25 inch, golden 1.25 inch...unsure if I want navarchus and colins in dt...

from the 125qt-
2 small clarion, 5 candy basslets, cocos lemon...

the geni hybrid and pair go in the 250qt from the 125qt...

the 125qt will still have- coral beauty pair, bi-color pair, lemon peel pair- they are not going in dt...
lol, not sure what I left out...cool stuff hopefully coming this summer/fall...
Will try and get some dt pics after I clean jt tomorrow..

Guessing the majestic is around 2-2.5"? Crazy it hasn't hit adult colors. I have one about the same size with full adult coloration. Shes obviously doing it in spite of you!

I'm surprised you weren't all over the golden pair on DD tonight, but sounds like you have your hands full with the current stock. Hows your golden's attitude? They always seem so timid, I'm a little intimidated to even try one. Cant wait to see that conspic in your DT, just an amazing fish...

Yeah, she is around 2.5, maybe a bit bigger, and I agree, she is totally holding back the change- it is her way of fighting me and paying me back for the 13 times I yanked her out of the tank and scraped her lymph sites.
I just got rid of a golden pair! The single I have is great...visible but the tank is pretty bare...I am thinking about adding her to the dt and am quite sure that if I do I will never see her again...
