["Umm fish?"]

Occupation: Typesetter

I'm not trying to hide it. I've owned a typesetting business for the last fifteen years. When I first started, I wrote some software that reduced the time it took me to typeset a book by about 70%. That helps.

Is that a true percula or a false percula? I just noticed that it's plastic so that makes it a false percula - right? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Your fish look hungry, but cute.

 

["Umm fish?"]

Thanks. I'm really excited that they look so small in the FTS. They're both a good 7-8".

 

[falesdk]

Well that certainly puts it in perspective! I can't wait to see with real fish!

 

["Umm fish?"]

I'm thinking about trying some macro photos of the corals. What do you think?

 

[EnderG60]

thats the tub? I thought you were putting in a 6 or more person hot tub in there? now im all confused, is that a bathroom in there?

 

[falesdk]

I've always thought it would be really cool to have a tank that was the whole wall of a shower, and the other side viewable from another room(same theory, much less practical lol). I love that your going to be able to take a bath and watch the fish at the same time.

 

["Umm fish?"]

It is a bathroom. We are going to have a curtain on the inside wall of glass for people who are squeamish. Before you call me crazy, though, have you ever seen this one?

I bet the line for that bathroom is ridiculous.

 

[erics3000]

WOW...That was crazzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyy

 

["Umm fish?"]

No doubt. Why do you suppose they built it female-only? I mean, would it matter if it was unisex? It's only just a toilet....

 

[falesdk]

Don't know, maybe they explain it, anyone know Japanese?

 

["Umm fish?"]

I got a couple of new buddies today. A friend of mine had to break down a tank and offered me these.

He claims that they are always like this--inseparable. I didn't think tangs paired, but they seem awfully attached. And not aggressively.

My friend who brought them to me this morning lives _way_ up in the mountains and, unfortunately, the water was 57 degrees F when he got here. I opened the bucket and thought they were dead. No movement. I dropped a heater and airline in and they started moving a bit after about a 2 degree F rise. It was a looooonnnng acclimation (and I had two books go to press today), so I'm pretty wiped out.

The tangs took some food this evening before lights out.

 

[falesdk]

ooo, I love purple tangs, if I ever get my dream tank I'm getting at least one!

nice coloring, especially after such a traumatic morning!

 

["Umm fish?"]

Well, these are not as fat as I'd like and I'm a little nervous about the white spots on this one's flank, but we'll see what some good food and lots of water changes does.

Oh, another photo:

What cute fish....

 

[falesdk]

Hope they come through for you!

 

[FUA]

definatley a nice pair.....keep us posted.....hope they do well

 

["Umm fish?"]

Thanks y'all!! No lights yet, but I'll see in a little while.
