The FedEx lady came this morning....

[Toddrtrex]

I could only imagine trying to keep your Xmas present a secret.

Good, I am excited too. I will upload/post the pictures as soon as I can.

Yep - it's next to impossible...

I can't wait until I have the set up to house Haddonis!

 

[Toddrtrex]

How about a Haddoni for Xmas?

Ooo, I can't wait either, excited for you.

 

[kimsie]

:lol: I wish - I have to get moved into my new house first (which means someone has to buy my current one) :lol:

A better Christmas present would be getting my fish breeding system built in my new house! See that's my problem - I always want to pick out my own presents!

I really like your new striped one... Are stripes like that often seen?

 

[Toddrtrex]

Well, that would be about a 4 hour commute, one way, so I can't buy your house.

I could try and build it. I do better when I am told what presents to get, but I will get a few things on my own --- to show I care.

I don't see the striped ones all that often. This is the first one I have seen in a while. Though my tan one has faint stripes,

 

[kimsie]

Oh your right it does! I never noticed that before... very cool. So the stripes are a feature that should stay then? Wow - really pretty!

 

[Toddrtrex]

I am pretty sure that they will stay, I have had the tan one for 9+ years now, and the stripes seem to be the same. Though, in my old age my memory isn't what it used to be.

BTW, I bumped your "reef discussion" thread about clown pictures.

 

[kimsie]

Awesome!

 

[T-T-Trigger]

very nice carpet!

 

[Toddrtrex]

So I was standing outside having a smoke after breakfast (( and yes it is perfectly acceptable for a 37 year old to eat Cooca Pebbles )), and the FedEx man pulls up. He had the box right in the back corner of the truck so that it wouldn't get banged around. We chatted a little bit --- maybe I order too much.

This is what he brought me,

Hmm, what could be in the bags,

One bag,

and the other,

 

[Toddrtrex]

So after temp acclimating them in the bags, had to do it in my other tank because the bags had so much water would have overflowed my 29. (( both are at the same temp, so no worries ))

About to put the first one in the bucket,

Then the second,

And some shots of them in the bucket, drip acclimating. I put some PVC in there to calm them down.

 

[Titus77]

Very nice! Did you put them in your tank yet? How are they doing?

 

[Toddrtrex]

Thanks.

Yea, put them in, there are just cruising around checking the place out. They pretty much are staying right next to each other.

 

[Haddonisreef]

Nice pair of clowns i love the one w/ chin strap, i have a female picasso that has that marking! Now the fun starts watching them to see how long for them to find the anemone!

 

[Toddrtrex]

Thanks.

Yea, I don't expect them to find the Haddoni any time soon, but they were near it.

A close up of the pair.

And a couple of FTS. (( BTW --- if you are cutting egg create with a Dremel, strongly suggest wearing eye protection, dang that hurts. ))

 

[stagefright13]

I have a crush on my Fedex lady! :rollface:

Not sure if it is the goodies she brings or her lol!

 

[1fishkeeper]

That is a great looking pair that you got there. It seems to be when I have money I cant find anything that I really like. But when Im broke they are everywhere. Oh well good one on getting all three of them.

Good one on getting all three of them.

All three of them? What do you mean by that? Are you including the nem?



So what size is that tank that the picassos are in?

 

[tufacody]

What is that light? I received a green haddoni and a heteractis magnifica last week from Divers Den. My HM is going great but the haddoni wont dig his foot in and still has some expulsion around the mouth. I have no clue why he is having such a hard time while the more difficult HM is doing great. My only guess is he doesn't like the flow and light necessary for the HM.

 

[Toddrtrex]

Titus77 --- I am assuming that he was including the Haddoni in "all three of them" since I got that on Wednesday. They are all in my 29.

tufacody --- The light is the Current SunPod -- 250 watt version. Right now I have a Reeflux 12K bulb in there ( DE ). But, I have a new Phoenix bulb that I am going to put in once I get around to it. Plus, I want the Haddoni to be fully settled in before I change the bulb.

As for your Haddoni, how much flow do you have? I have notice that all of mine ( have 4 total in different tanks ) don't like a lot of flow. Is the mouth tightly closed or still open? I got a different Haddoni from them 2 weeks ago that never settled in -- had to pull it.
