Beautiful Declivis, probably one of my favorite fish. And the wrasses in a very close second.

Your tank is stunning, can you give us some specs? what lights do you use? and for water movement?

Gorgeous tank!

Wow, Your tank is really going strong. Is that a new male watanabie?
Love the pictures Lemon.

thanks everyone.

the watanabe is not very new. just that i never posted pics of it before.

im using 2x 250W MH 12k bulbs.

using 2x Tunze 6105 for wave. only the middle part where the SPS are needs lots of waves so i just blow everything there.

the other parts of the tank get gentler currents

My Bathyphilus is doing great. Not shy at all and seems very comfortable in his new home.

Here are a few new pics I took this week Lemon. I don't know if you knew that I have a couple other wrasses that aren't fairies or flashers.

And I had to show one of my more recent shots of my attenuatus.

That Attenuatus is unreal! I wish I were able to locate one! Also, which Halichoeres wrasse is that in the first picture?

tell me about it! i'm dying for an attenuatus.

that's a leopard i believe. a geoffroy leopard? if i'm not wrong?

No tank is complete without my love, marginalis.

so greedy and allows me to catch him with my hands. as do most of my wrasses and butterflies, angels. they're so pampered with hand feeding that the hand is their friend, not foe. so amazing to see them swim through my fingers and lifting them up without a net.

here's my marginalis swimming through the surface. swimming sideways...seeking my attention. or should i say, a tasty morsel of mysis.

Beautiful Lemon! Glad to see your Marginalis is doing so well for you. Have you had it a while?

Also, I think you're right, it is a Leopard Wrasse in that picture. For some reason I thought it was a Halichoeres, but after looking at the picture again, you're right!

Yes, It's a Potters leopard. I've had her for a couple of years now.

 

[bradleyj]

Here she is.

I just picked up a Nahacky's male that was on D/D tonight.
Can't wait to get him next week. I'm out of town working right now so they aren't sending him until next Monday, to receive Tuesday. I'll post pictures next week.

You DOG! I had the pair in my cart yesterday and someone nabbed them out from under me!
