Butterflytown - 240 FOWLR

I would guess 7 or 8 inches.

I wish that spot on his side would clear up. I think that stupid semilarvatus keeps picking at it. I may need to get him into a QT to heal up. I'm not completely sure what causes that skin condition. It's happened when he's been alone before, so i'm not convinced it's a wound caused by a fish.

I missed out on a chance to get a golden recently and am kind of kicking myself. Not sure the two would co-exist, but I think the color contrast would be awesome. Of course I am a steelers fan...

I dunno, they get REALLY big. I mean, that thing could take off a butterfly's face in a bite, while accidentally going after the same piece of food, no?
 
I have the same fears about my dog face. I actually have seen that exact thing happen with a yellow tang and a melegris. Probably better I didn't get it in retrospect.

The yellow tang survived btw.
 
Thanks, I'm considering adding three more at some point. My plan was to have 5 total.

I also want to add a Declivis, mitratus, a shoal of anthias as well as a couple of mystery fish not to be named.

Video looks great, quite an impressive collection!
I agree with Peter the pyramids look nice, makes me want to get some...
 
Can't say on the mystery fish, it's going to be a while anyway. I can say that one is an angel and one is a tang...

You know all the butterflies I want but can't find.
 
So...I'm moving the large Regal to my DT today. I'm not concerned for the new fish, though I could see my Achilles being a punk. I'm more worried about the little regal that's been in there for some time.

Also, I added a Swabbie over the holidays, looking forward to seeing how this thing affects my skimmer.

I added a reef octopus head cleaner 4 months ago, and with great results; it sure beats the heck out of my old method which was using a rubber spatula. I went 2 months without cleaning my neck, but it was a stinky mess when I finally pulled the lid to clean the head cleaner; imagine that"¦:eek2: It's probably a better idea to clean it at least monthly.
 
Things went rather swimmingly with the Regal introduction. The Achilles was the expected jerk face, but after a couple hours, the Regal got tired of taking crap and actually turned on him.

It didn't eat yesterday, but started eating food this morning when I fed them. I'm planning a WC this afternoon/evening and might take a video later if I have time.

Good to hear!
 
Good news and bad news.

I'm going to have to remove Mr. puff for a period of time. I had the opportunity to watch my tank for quite a long time and noticed several of my butterflies picking at the wound on his side. I have a feeling that is why it's taken so long to heal.

On the positive side, my two Regals are getting along quite well and are actually starting to act like a pair.
 
Sorry to hear about the puffer :( . Butterflies are known to be VERY picky at things (sharks, rays) so I guess maybe this isn't too surprising.

Glad the regals are doing well. That new guy is a stunner! Now I miss mine :-/
