New Picassos

[tpdpercula]

Well after months of waiting I finally have 2 new Picasso Clowns. Here is a very poor picture that I had my girlfriend take considering Im at work right now I will take better pics when I get home and post them. By the way if you close at one of the you can see a Orange Cirlcle in the middle of its middle white bar. She says it like that on both sides.

Heres the one with the circle

Congrats, looks like a nice pair - the circle is really neat! See if you can get a really good picture, I'd love to see them more clearly

I will do my best when I get home. I cant promise anything though because our camera is older and takes really bad pics. Oh and I just found out we aquired 2 new GBTA w/ purple tips and will be housed w/ these fish in the my 75 species tank. Who would of thought in the same day I would have 2 new Picassos, a new 8" Green Haddoni and (2) 8"+ GBTA w/ purple tips? Its Christmas for me in late September.

That is a LOT of new stuff for just a 75 gallon tank...

 

[tpdpercula]

No, no.....the Picassos are in there and the GBTAs as well. The Haddoni is in the main display. The only added bioload in the 75 is the anemones because transfered Pair of Percs out of there last night.

Forgot to say that one of the GBTAs is a twice the size of a softball and it is closed up. I will post pics tonight when the lights come on.

 

[TandN]

where did you get yours from ?

 

[tpdpercula]

Got the GBTAs locally but will have to ask the GF about where she got the carpet and fish.

 

[TandN]

Yeah Im looking for a pair of picasso's or snowflakes cant find them anywhere

 

[tpdpercula]

Well heres the best pictures I could get. The little buggers just will not hold still and pose for pics.

And heres a pic of the new GBTAs (the BIG one is hiding behind the rock) and my Haddoni.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dont put the piccasso in there with the maroons nooooooooo

 

[derrikd]

cool little fish

 

[tpdpercula]

OH GSMGUY I SURE DID!!!!!!! LOL, there is an Acrylic Box 12" X 12" that they're in, just free swimming being beat up by the Maroons. You don't give me enough credit! I use to have the acrylic box in the main system as a quaritine type housing but moved it into the 75 when I got another pair of clowns. So everyone does not worry about the new fish, they are seperated from the GSMs.

Try Blue Ribbon Koi and Marine Products. They have steady supply of nice Picassos. Not cheap, but real beauties with full cross strips. They also have the offsprings of parent Picassos. Cheaper, but no classic strip patterns. Good luck.

LOL just making sure it sounded to me like you said they would be living in the new BTA and then i saw a maroon hiding 6 inches from the BTA

Had you going there for a second GSM didn't I? Well she got the fish locally also, I guess she went behind my back and had one of the LFS stores to order them for me. Apperently I was contacted by another store that my 6 month wait for another pair has come to an end and that they will be shipped next week. Man I cant wait! Im thinking of starting a "Feed The Children" type charity just to provide for my Children "AKA my Fish". I will make sure and post pics of them when they come in. I had to put another order/waiting list in for a lone Picasso because I still have one lone female in my clownfish system, or I might try and locate a NICE WC Onyx (or possibly one of Rod's) to pair it up with.

Quick question for those of you that are following/reading this thread. I am in the process of deciding on doing a SPECIES TANK of Carpet Anemones (Haddoni) and whether or not I should. I guess I'll start a seprate thread that way I can keep track and hopefully post a build thread for it.

 

[GSMguy]

haddoni species tank would be really cool.

 

[tpdpercula]

I have a blue and mint green one right now in my 300 but after the Great Anemone Tank Climb of 2007, 2 weeks ago I want to have a tank just for them and a few different kinds of clowns. Thats why I want a larger type tank (48" x 48" x 24", or maybe 36" x 36" x 24") and have a red and a few more greens. Maybe around 6 total. My 75 RBTA & GBTA is coming along and all nems are rockin on so why not do a Haddoni tank. RIGHT?
