Sorry to hear that Chad. Maybe the demise of one will signal the arrival of something better
I've had a Mystery along with my Flames in the past. Never saw the Mystery pick at anyone, including the Flames. Yeah, a net is a must. I've had a net up since day one. To me, any fish can be a jumper if spooked. You just never know.pookstreet

Thanks Sara, from one wrASSe lover to another :lol: Here's a new member of the family, C. laboutei. He was just released from his container this morning before I left for my flight. He's been hanging out and eating in the specimen container I made for a few days now. None of the other fish have shown any sign of aggression so it's a good sign so far. He's got the most amazing yellow and purple coloration along the dorsal area.

Very nice Kenny. I'll just live vicariously through you for awhile, as we have the same taste in fish.

Great addition Kenny. Please keep updating your thread so I do not have to add anything to mine.
Come on now, Mark. We all know that nothing gets in the way of THE Ultimate Reefer and what he wants

I'm done for awhile. I still have a few trades lined up, but its starting to get to that time of the year when the tank takes a back seat to having a life. I've done quite a few trades over the last couple of months; way more than I have even done before. Some went well and others reminded me why I did not like trading in the first place

I guess we'll have to see about the "done" comment
Sorry to hear some of your trades didn't go too well. I just look at it as ways to acquire pieces that I would otherwise probably wouldn't be able to get. You win some and lose some. But in the end, I have what I wanted so I consider it cool.

Most of your LFS are willing to get a particular fish if you ask or develop a relationship with them. Sometimes, asking is all it takes.
I don't change my water nearly enough. On average, probably 30-40 a month, sometimes longer if I get lazy. I should be more diligent in doing that, perhaps my SPS would color up more

Sweet fish. I love nice wrasses
Thanks Stacie! Hope I can complete my collection soon
I totally understand about the trading thing and a way to acquire new pieces, but I have always been a person that see the value in purchasing. There is a set price and if two people agree on that price, its a done deal. There is something to be said to that. I have done trades where I think I get the better end of the deal and I have done trades where I am on the short end of the stick. Thats just part of the trade game.

There is something to be said for purchases and sometimes, that's the only way to go. I like trading b/c I am cheap :lol2: Most of my trades are done with friends and other reefers I know. Some are who I considered to be "trustworthy" people as I deal with them for the first time. Some of those have become friends
The rest are just a means to an end. You can learn an awful lot about someone as you PM/email back and forth. If at any time during that process I don't feel comfortable, I just end it right there.I've learned to look past the short end/long end of the stick. That can ruin the fun real fast. Most of the time, I've given more to my friends than I get back. And sometimes, it's the other way around. What are friends for anyways if you can't share stuff you enjoy mutually? So who wants to be my friend? :mixed:
