One more 'favorite' to go....

[sonofgaladriel]

I consider myself very luck this past weekend. I purchased two of my 3 most favorite and 'dream list' fish at an unbelievable price. Fish I never expected to purchase as they typically carry a very high price tag.
I picked up a beautiful Helfrichi firefish for $60 from a good friend who was taking down his small reef tank to focus on his 380 FOWLR. Thanks Larry!!!
Just this past Saturday, I picked up a beautiful Mystery wrasse from one of our best LFS in town, FishWorld. The fish was on sale at $99! Thanks Jeff!
Both are doing very well and displaying the most amazing pastel coloration!
I'll try to post some pics later today. I'm as giddy as a school boy on Christmas morning!
Now all that's left is a small/medium black tang and I can die a happy man

So I take it you bought the small one that was in the tank with the blue dot Jawfish? He just came in.... Wanted to give him a chance to get settled. ARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!! Oh well maybe they will get more in.

Nice score man! I love Helfrichi firefish however aren't they supposed to be housed in "cooler" tanks? I heard that since they're collected from such lower depths, that they are more used to the cold?

I take it that you also have a black tang? We need pics of your fish!!

Naw, just because they are deep water doesn't mean they must be kept in cold water. Mystery wrasses are also deep water.

I hope your tank is well covered. I got my last dream fish (already have a small black tang and mystery wrasse), a golden rhomboid wrasse a couple of weeks ago at a stunning price.

I had covers over both sides, and it made it through the first night. The second evening, my mystery wrasse still chasing it, it managed to get out of a tiny opening between the eggcrate and the overflow. It was by far the saddest fish loss I've ever had.

Both the firefish and the mystery can jump. Make sure you're completely covered.

You have great taste in fish btw.
