FFrankie, I love Charleston. My daughter is in the AF and stationed there. We visit often. Beautiful city.

[Aquarist007]

that is a beautiful combination. I have a similar combination of the regal and sailfin

 

[mcrist]

I feel in love with the sailfin the first time I saw the fish fully extended.

Thanks for the compliments.

I bought this setup used from Margaritti man here on RC about 2 1/2 years ago. The 2 Naso's came with it along with a 13" Vlamingi and a 8" sailfin tang. There are some pictures of them in my build thread. I gave away the Vlamingi and sailfin as I wanted to get some otehr fish for the tank.

He had the system up and running for over 4 years so that's why I say the Naso's are over 6 years. He did tell me that a friend of his caught the male Naso in Hawaii and shipped it to him. They've grown a coupel of inches since I got the system so they were fairly big when I got them.

Funny thing is, the Male had no streammers until after I had him for about 2 months. I use strictly Natural Sea Water so I'm wondering if that might have had something to do with it. Jeff said he had never seen streamers on the male and was supprised to see them when I posted a pic. The fish is pushing 13" plus the streamers.

lhoy, I have several wrasses in the tank as well. Besides the Lepoard, I have a 6" adult Red corris Wrasse (my fav), yellow banana wrasse, blue headed wrasse, Male green bird wrasse ( looking for female), Carpenters flasher wrasse, 6 line wrasse and a yellow flanked fairy wrasse.

Achilles can change eye and skin color to light blue. Here is a shot of just the eye changing color.

Here is a shot of the whole body changing color as a signal to the cleaners.

Thanks for looking,

I have an interesting looking young Hippo...at least I think that's what he is. He is about 2.5", and has been around for a few months in my system. Eats a variety of foods, but remains dark with a few light patches. Any insight from you experts?

 

[Reeftanks6]
