Pictures of my fish

[bradleyj]

Most of you see me hanging around here quite a bit. Well I thought it was time to let you know a little about me. I've been married for almost 27 years in a month and have 2 daughters, 25 & 21, both are successful in their own right. I am part owner of a Ceramic tile company that we started in 1982 and have been pretty successful , although it was real ruff the first few years.
I got into this wonderful hobby almost 5 yrs ago with a 65g tank which I still have running, Now my 225g has just turned 2yrs old june 1st.
I was an officer in our local reef club here in salt lake city last year, but do to alot of my work being out of town, I decided not to re run for office this year. I'm a real wrasse nut as most of you know. I have 22 wrasses in my 225 and a six line in my 65g.
Anyway, enough said.. here are some pictures to enjoy.

Thanks, That wrasse is a red tailed tamarin, and I have a yellow tailed tamarin also, I believe she is the second pic.
My regal tang is always into mischief, my regal angel has been good for the most part, he does pick on a few lps though. I dont have any scolymias anymore.

you have some very pretty fish and a very nice looking tank as well...plus you take good pictures..since i went to the same top as you i have yet to lose a fish to jumping...i was able to double up the net with no problem and i have not noticed any difference in the way the lighting looks as well...looks better than when i had eggcrate

Is the triggers the ringens from the caribbean or blue throat from Hawaii?

Regal angels and flame wrasses are my new passion!!

Beautiful fish and corals.

 

[snorvich]

Very nice tank and photos. Your wrasse collection is awesome!

 

[bradleyj]

wrasseguy2, I'm glad to hear that the netting works well for you also. I was sitting down by my tank the other day and my rhomboid made a huge racket and I jumped up and found him on top of the netting. I hurried and put him back in the tank and he is fine. But it goes to show that those crazy fish can still make it through and I don't think anything is 100% wrasse proof, but this is the best I know of. You have an awesome collection of fish yourself.

gbcichlids, my trigger is a female crosshatch.

Snorvich, Thank you, Compliments coming from an expert like yourself makes my day. I would like to see your tank one day as well.
