Butterflytown - 240 FOWLR

- Start date
Of all the fish I would think I could lose, a pair of starki damsels never crossed my mind...I got the Regal from NyAquatics almost a year ago. I'll try to post some baby pictures, I think they're on my wife's computer.
The multifasciatus are coming from the same source as the Venustus. Fingers crossed...
Supposedly the Regal coming tomorrow is a stunning specimen and a pig, We'll see.

Can't wait to see the pics! My buddy got a pair of multifasciatus for QM that were there since April (this was back in July) the female small (2") but she never really ate a ton and died a month ago. The male is still doing great but is very finicky about food sometimes. I would QT extra long and get them eating like champs, they become more secluded when introduced with other fish
That's my plan exactly, I usually quarantine for pretty long time.
I'm considering a large angel for the tank. I'm concerned about becoming overstocked. It would probably be a chrysurus, still on the fence though. I need a bigger tank...
There are a pretty large number of butterflies that I still need to source.

Regal when I first got it, crappy iPhone pictures.
Wow, hasn't changed much with the markings... You said you got him from Michael?

What other butterfly's are you getting for the tank? I,myself have been waiting patiently for a Mitratus to come up for sale... Hopefully it happens this month (it's my birthday later this month and it's easier to justify to my wife why I'm spending so much on a fish!)
Mitratus, Declivis, Ocellatus, possibly Larvatus - need to set up a frozen auto feeder before that happens.
There are a few other odd balls I'm on the hunt for as well.
I'm considering a bandit around Christmas time, but it's another angel and I kind of doing want any more angels. I just need more space.
I'm not sure what it is about those little guys, I just really like them. I can still remember the day when I first bought them.
Not to be misunderstood though, the talbots I have now are not the same talbots I had when I first started.

The tinkeri that's on DD is awesome but too pricey for my liking and after the juv false personifer I just received from them on Wednesday... I won't be buying from DD again anytime soon... (Will start a thread about that soon) I love the bandits and if your looking for a small one from the source you should get in contact with Ted (Humaguy) he is able to get juvs every year around April to mayish. The other thing to consider is the deep water angels do much better and live longer in tanks below 75 degrees, closer to 71-72 is best. That isn't always easy to accomplish though
