Attached are some tank shots that Griffin took over the weekend. I need to get a better full tank shot. The first pic is close to the whole thing, it's hard to put in perspective that it is 8' wide and 4' tall.

Here's a pic of the left side of the tank:

Another left side, this one showing the bottom:

Borbonius Anthias
Borbonius Anthias
So last night, I slept (or didn't) like a man that just became a new father. I first woke up at 1:30 and then again at 4:00 this morning.
I had so much anxiety about the six Borbonius Anthias. Were they alive? Were they laboring to breathe? Were the others picking on them? Both times I gently got out of bed, not to wake my wife, and quietly went into the fish room with my flashlight in hand.
They are doing awesome! I fed them three times today and they are all eating and swimming around. They are schooling and staying real close to one another.
Attached are a few iPhone pics:

Congrats on the Borbonius. I only have a pair but they adjusted quickly into my tank and eat everything I put in the tank.
Only issue I have is I like small fish and these guys are growing quickly.
Best of luck with them. They are very cool.

I would do both at first. I did find that when I feed right after I did remove the egg-crate, they would ignore one another and eat.

Thanks guys!
Worm, the next time Griffin is over, I will have him shoot some updated pics or video of the fish room.

Dan, have you ever considered running a webcam on your tank (or on a quarentine tank)? I am not sure if you have a feasable place to set one up but it would be fun to watch!
I have a webcam running on my tank. Its great to just check in and see the tank while I am at work and even better for when I am out of town.

It would be neat if you let the public view by Skype access with a live feed.
