New Mitratus

[Dmorty217]

Just wanted to share a pic of of the new addition I got on Thursday along with a Red Sea Regal. The Mitratus is eating like a pig and is in 100g Rubbermaid QT about to undergo CP treatment followed by PP.

Awesome! Love mine; great little fish.

Yeah tons of personality and very social for a newly aquired fish

Great looking fish! I hope it does well for you for many years to come!

Beautiful. What size is the Red Sea Regal?

 

[Dmorty217]

3.5-4" great color and shipped very well. Is also eating at least some (hard to see in the 100g rubbermaid from the top down) Got her from Michael at NYaqutics.com along with the Mitratus

Haha come on Ted a hr drive one way for you and you could have one too! Mine took to food 10 mins after I put him in the QT. Not the LRF food either! Haha. My next fish I'm on the hunt for is a Maze angel preferably a juv but we will see

By the way that's a big one... don't expect it to get much bigger.

Tiny little butterfly!

Really? I thought 5" or so was about their size grown? I would say close to the size if the Juv False Personifer i got a few wks back

I know FB lists 5.5" max size, but don't expect that. Mine is maybe 3" now... and even Randall's photos on FB are of smaller specimens....

We've all seen big tinkeri (also listed as 5.5" max on FB). I'm never seen a mitratus as big as an adult tinkeri.

 

[Dmorty217]

Make the fish even that much more special then.

 

[Ambition]

Gorgeous fish. I hope to get one some day down the road, definitely a favorite butterfly of mine.

Had one of the beauties in the past, they have a great personality and are very outgoing and durable.

Thus far my favorite fish i have owned as far a personality and being social, and i have only had him 6 days. Now i need to get a Declivis and a Tinkeri, I also find myself liking the Chaetodon Interruptus (Indian Tear Drop)
