one of 3 aandtsociety trips for show fish and inverts

[Saltliquid]

Trip one.
The weather was spot on,the vis was great,the current was as dangerous as you could possibly get!!

The ever (rare,lol ) wobby,damn things are like flies around here,flies that put holes in you.

This one was near the blue tangs and ate one before getting down to them again.

You can interact with a 16 foot tiger,fight off an 8 foot hammer head that wants your speared fish and lots of other shark encounters,but these carpet paterned nut cases,one out of ten are serious phychopaths,the things are everywhere and when they start on you they do not like to give in or scare off like you can with an actual man eater.

This is one creature that taking it to the brink of extinction would be such a loss?

Rather than get surgeons out of tanks,two more were collected for the show.Most are gone from commercial collection now from the massive amounts that were there,next year may bring in heaps,as usual!

A nice linkia for the show,there was one there cream in colour over a metre across,to big for the show,heaps of linkias out there!

Shane has got the yellow one at the moment.It will go well with this one at the show.

These apogon cyanosoma cardinals were for mark,but we will use them in the show and than he can have them.

Always a space for a bicuit star for the tanks.

Hey i looked at the link wats the fish in the fifth picture?

 

[Saltliquid]

Over here we have two slightly different variations of the same fish from the chaetodontoplus family.

On the west coast in WA they are called the personifer and the one over this side of aus is called the meredithi,there is only a slight difference between them.

The pic is of a juvenile meredithi,top fish wouldn't hurt a soul and very easy to keep when fresh from the ocean,they are like most others in their family though and all tangs and surgeons,they have extremely small scales that make them a little extra attractive to white spot.

up the sunshine coast60 mins from here,in two spots you can get up to 20 or 30 a day with no trouble,if you wanted them!
