Sorry JT. I probably won't be taking any pics anytime soon. The tank looks like "poo poo" and I need to keep getting things cleaned up for MARKMAC 2010 next weekend :lol:

Hello there Mark. You have a beautiful tank. I have a quick ques. What are you feeding your blueline. I got one and its only eating PE mysis soaked in selcon, but it will only eat the whole ones he wont touch the cut up ones?

 

[mpoletti]

Mine eats PE mysis, hikari brine shrimp and pellets.

WOW Baymac Rocked this year

I was lucky enough to have some friends over yesterday and while we were looking at the tanks, I asked Sanjay to give me pointers with shooting fish. For awhile there, I did not know if he was going to give back the camera

And here are pictures of Sanjay's next fish purchase

Thanks Ian, A couple of these were shot by Sanjay and a couple were shot by me. I did use and external flash on the D90 for these.

Nice pics. Any recommendation on a wrasse for a 50G that doesn't kick up sand Mark? I just gave away my Yellow Coris because I was tired of blowing off the sand from my rocks and coral.

 

[mpoletti]

Thanks Tony

Fairy wrasses generally do not kick up sand, but they are also not the best hunters if that is what you are looking for.

 

[TonyV]

Thanks Mark. Not looking for a hunter of any sort just something that swims and doesn't jump or kick up sand like my Coris did.

 

[mpoletti]

Jumping is another story. The majority of wrasses are notorious jumpers as they are pretty "sketchy" fish.
