Got some new fish in this week. Added the following fish
4 - Dispar Anthias (1M 3F)
2 - Leopard Wrasses Female (M. Bipartus)
2 - Aurora Gobies
1 - Midas Blenny
This brings the fish total up to 20.
These are from Reef Edge located in Ft. lauderdale area. I have been visiting this store several times over the years. They always have great healty fish, and usually have fish from Africa and Red sea.
This time I visited in late Dec (with Tony and Julian) and was once again very impressed with the quality of fish there, and decieded to have them ship me fish this time - given that I did not want to deal with carrying them with me on the airlines, and coordinating the fish pickup with my flight time. Tony picked out the fish for me when he was at the store last week, and I got them on Thursday.
I have always liked the leopard wrasses, and usually not had good luck with them. These chase down mysis shrimp and grab them when I feed the tank, and hang out together !!!! The dispar are out swimming in the open all the time and also eating well. The aurora gobies have not shown themselves out in the open much to get any decent pictures.

Nice fish Sanjay! Those blue star leopard wrasse almost match the superman frag 
Hope the frags are doing well. If not, I'll get you replacements next time we see you.
I also just ordered some 14K 400w Ushio's so once you get the lighting test up and running again I'll bring one up for a day and we can test it. I'll be running them on Blueline [I have a spare 400 blueline I can also bring for the test if needed]. I borrowed the clubs par meter and will let you know what I get with apogee meter readings with the bulbs out of the box. Currently using 15K XM 400's. I have reading for the XM's when they were about 3 months old and will take one of the XM's before I replace them to see how the #'s compair to Ushio.
Take care my friend.

I want those Dispar’s back. They look great! People don’t realize how these fish do better when placed in a welcoming tank. They look better in your tank than they did in the store. Those Leopard wrasses got me in a lot of trouble. There was someone very interested in those wrasses, and called me to let me know how up-set they were with me.
Enjoy them buddy.

I like your wrasse!
Nice fish Sanjay. The local club in Ft Laud is having a swap meet next month I was going to head down for. I guess I'll have to make a stop at Reef Edge now. Do you have an address and contact number for them handy?
Thanks,
Barry

Craig:
The frags are doing great. All are alive so far. Don't need replacements, but you are welcome to come visit anytime.
I have a Blueline ballast, so all I would need is the lamp.
I might see you next month.
