Photos from my Aquarium

[Juca]

Hello to all

Today it was one more day of innovations in this aquarium.

Finally I got to fishhook (yes, it is true, same fishhook) to fish Hepathus 2 times (it already went back to the aquarium) Pygoplites and one of grown YT (that already has to go where).

Pygoplites walked to eat what didn't owe.


Exits:

1 Pygoplites diacanthus
1 Zebrassoma flavescens



The fish were too " smart " I will have to arrange other strategy for other YT.

After these exits, efectuei the introduction of 2 new fish.

Entrances:


Zebrassoma gemmatum

Awesome! Hope you got a good deal on that Gem Tang! What do those sell for there? I have seen them for sale for around $3,000 (US dollars) on line in the U.S.! Very expensive fish!

I like the valley Juca, and is that a frag area in the front right? Do you think they will get enough light there?

 

[Juca]

Hi jnarowe


I use 16 lamps T5 = 736W

The illumination is quite homogeneous in the aquarium.

 

[jnarowe]

very nice. I can't get over that Gem tang...he is so freakin' sweet. I rarely get jealous but in this case I have to make an exception!

My Anthia Squamipinnis

I await the day in that the Portuguese can write in Portuguese in this area of Reefcentral

 

[jnarowe]

hey Juca, you can post in Portuguese if you want, I just won't be able to read it. Germans and Italians often post in their native language and then usually some kind soul will translate for the English speaking members.

Nice mouth on that Anthia! How often and what do you feed it?

Joao, como sempre a suas fotografias sao formidaveis
When you get a chance can you tell us about what equipment your using and what methods you guys use over there in Portugal (you can post in Portugese)
Your tank is amazing.
