Look at that there's Spike....it's magic! Thanks, for posting her pic. I can't figure out how to do that.

1) go into your gallery and right click on the picture
2) left click"copy image url"
3) when you are posting a message in RC just right click again and hit paste, the image url will then paste onto the thread..you have to put [ img ] at the beginning of the url and then put [/ img ] at the very end of the url ( with no spaces!!) and you should be golden for posting pics
4) hit send and Voila!!!

Spike is cool looking!

For sure. I love that fish!

I just picked up some Pellucida gobys that are still in my q-tank. BEAUTIFUL! They'd be awesome in any nano, IMO.

This guy is probably rarer than carmabi.

Definateley more rare than carmabi.

Some more super exotic nano fish

The Soapfish & Hogfish get too big for a real Nano (< 30gal) .

I came across this little dude! I like the coloration on him, not too mention I love Pseudo's

That's a good choice. My wife and I saw one about 2 weeks ago and almost ended up leaving with it but after a long discussion we decided not to get it. Figured it would get eaten in my FOWLR tank. The colors on that fish was so intense.

My current favorites are Geometric Pygmy Hawk, Twin-spot Hog, Green-banded goby and Chalk Bass.

Hog-Bodianus sanguineus
Hawk- Plectranthias garrupellus
Goby Black-Lotilia graciliosa,
R. Gramma look alike. Try around 8,000.00 for this "Gramma"-Lipogramma klayi

Can't remember the others off the top of my head. Be back with those. T

 

[DVNO]

love those flaming prawn gobies

ONLY if you can provide the care that they need (obviously)

my favorite nano fish: blue stripe pipefish

 

[Dante_JoseCuerv]

OOOO, Elysia, very nice. I've seen those here and there, but they almost always end up dead in the store.

 

[username in use]

I saw baby Unicorn tangs, think one will work in my 24g? j/k

I think I'll go with the Swissguard Basslet, don't have $10,000 to drop on the big boys
