just wanted to show off a few fish

[sdietz2469]

my mating mandrins, they spawn every night about 5 min before the lights go out and the moon lights go on. they dont leave each others sides, got them both when they were just itty bitty. now they have grown up. 2 years old.

that's very nice.

 

[29reef]

Nice pair you got there, FWIW my best guess at an ID for the unknown wrasse is a red margin wrass C. pylei.

 

[wrasseguy2]

the wrasse is a c. pylei also called the blue-margin..nice looking fish i realy dig the mandarins

 

[tcmfish]

Very nice fish! Also saw that helfrichi firefish in the background too! Just hope you have a new home lined up for the vlamingi.

 

[sdietz2469]

yes, i have a 300 in the works, and then he is going into a 800 after that...... some more pics

[snorvich]

Your mandarins and firefish are gorgeous. Hope you have a top on that tank!

 

[sdietz2469]

thanks for the compliments. and yes i have a top....
shane

 

[melanotaenia]

great looking fish!

 

[hul kogan]

Those Mandarins look great...and your Purple is just gorgeous!

 

[sdietz2469]

yeah, i make fun of the mandrins, cuz they are both pleasently plump.... and the purple tang, when i got her she was immeciated, had lateral line disease and hole in the head disease... she was actually given to me by the lfs about 10 years ago.... you wouldnt ever have been able to tell

 

[sedor]

Love the tuskfish! I wish I had a tank big enough for one. So your building an 800!?! WOW!
