like how the mystery is peeking out

How many HFW's do you have? Just the super male? One of my favorite fish.....I should try and do more to keep them in the tank I had a pair about a yr. ago and they both jumped....well I think maybe the mystery may of chased the female to the point of jumping. My tank is open top w/ euro bracing and I just hate to have a screen on top. Kind of reminds me of my dads' koi pond w/ all his ghetto gear to keep blue herons out....that's not even getting into all the plumbing and switching gear he has to divert water . I guess what it amounts to is if the netting over the pond did'nt get them the plumbing would for sure

Don't ask about the Flames. Mark is sensitive to that topic lately! :lol:

Actually, I am over losing three females in two weeks. That was a couple months ago, but the females and the mystery look way to close to live in the same tank. The first two I lost due to a mishap in shipping, but the last one was fine, until I found it dried on top of my netting

What is make me so sick about this hobby, I am sure I will give them another try one day. If I do, it won't be until I get the mystery out.

I know where Mark is coming from. I got 3 something like a week ago. Tore the rock work apart the day after arrival to try and find the super male. Sure enough he was just hiding. Then last Fri. I had'nt seen him for about 2-3 days. Tear the rock work apart again and no supermale. Go away for the weekend come back and now I am missing one of the females

I think that brings the total to a little over $300 lost in these 2 fish. All tolled it probably cost me around $50hr in veiwing pleasure

Just one of the things that makes this hobby so relaxing

You are lucky, I was starting to think that Jayda and Joe were looking liked they didn't need trimming there for a second :lol:

Tell me about it. I'm out 3 Rhomboids and 2 Flames this year. Not good luck at all. Whoever claimed that this hobby was relaxing has never been in the hobby!:lol:

Anything in particular that she was counting?

You know that Jayda and Joe are just itching for a trimming!!! Plus, you know that you want to spread them around to have backups incase your little angel decides to nibble.

Whats funny about that is that I have never heard about them nipping on chalices, just on acans, micros, favias and polyps. I am not saying that they don't, thats just what I found out in my many hours of research.

You need to see my war coral, Its has a mind of its own. I kind of wish that it would slow down a bit :lol:

knock on wood.

you can always pass them my way too.

I hope you can pencil me in this weekend. I'm dying to check the tank out.:lol:

[clownnrnd]

sorry to see so many hit the list this morning



Mark, will you be taking applications for your freind/buddy list? If so where do I send my resume


O'ya, Did I tell you I use a H&S skimmer

:lol:

[mpoletti]

Don't worry Chad, You don't want to be on my list. It is made up of people who have offended me or a couple of my close friends bu either lowballing or through bad personal experiences. You are way safe

I was surprise Jeremy ASKED to be on the list. Especially since I was going to get him a frag of Bazooka Joe and Jayda this weekend
