WOW! You have an awesome fish collection there Mark!

Do you have issues with your sifter goby leaving remnants on your chalices and such? Also, I assume your foxface has been a good citizen with all your sweet LPS (IME I had terrible luck with foxface and LPS)?

I still cant get over your Joc man, too cool! I've been very close to clickin' buy on one they have over at LA now. Couple people have been looking for me though, and they said next week so I might hold off.


Anyways KILLER FISH!
 
Austin, Thanks.

I have not had a problem with the magnificent, YET ;)

The sand sifter is a good fish. I have had it for close to 4 years. Once an awhile some sand will get on my chalices and such, but I think it is more from the rate of flow than from the goby.

Good luck when you get your joc :)

How long have you had the cb? What does it eat?

I have had the cb for close to two years. It eats everything and anything. It started on eating the smaller feather dusters off the live rock and moved onto mysis within a week.
 
Very impressive fish collection mpoletti...YOu have three of the four wrasses that I plan on pulling the trigger on within the next month. The other being a Super male Lineatus....Was wondering how the Flame, Mystery and Rhomboid get along with each other and other fish? Also, do you have inverts in your tank (mainly shrimp and sea stars)? If so, how do they act towards them? Any aggression? Ok, that's enough questions for now..lol...thanks for taking the time to answer them and for taking the time to post pictures of such incredibly beautiful fish..

Tangwich-Thanks

In answer to your questions, If I did do it all over again, I would of not added the mystery as it like to chase smaller wrasses around, ie female fairy wrasses. I had the chance to get a lineatus, but I passed as they get very big and I do not feel that my 180 is large enough to house them all without stressing them out long term. I recently got rid of my rosy scales wrasse as it was very aggressive towards my anthias. It was/is a stunning fish though.

I do have inverts including 3 cleaners, a fire shrimp, a coral banded shrimp and a harlequin. I also have a pair of serpent stars but I removed my linkias as I liked the harlequin too much to pass on.

That's great to know..thanks..so a Flame, Rhomboid and Lineatus it is for me..lol..
hey, I can pick up a Rhomboid right now at an LFS for $200..what do you think, good deal or not? Thanks again.
 
That's a good price. I know a lot of people that would love to pay that price as long as its a healthy specimen.
 
Thanks, I'm thinking I'll pick it up this weekend. Last question is are any of the wrasses that you have jumpers? Want to know if I should put my glass top back on or if I can leave it open with the canopy over it.
 
Fairy and flasher wrasses will jump. If your canopy will cause the fish who jump to automatically fall back in, your are fine, if not you will need a cover. Egg Crate won't keep them in. By the way, if the Rhomboid is a male, that is an excellent price for him.
 
thanks for the info snorvich..to be honest I don't know if it is a male...how can I tell besides just asking the store owner?
