The second collecting trip for marines for the show

[Saltliquid]

This is the second collecting trip for aandtsociety show stock.

Just another trip to get some nice fish and inverts for the beenliegh show tanks on one of the calmest days imaginable and in the strongest current.
The current this day was extrmemly dangerous and had to be handled with a lot of care or end up in New zealand and there are no jesus lines that long!

This is how calm it was.

A nice little halichoeres chrysus.

A shy little dark cardinal.

we don't normally bother with moorish idles,but this one will be handy for the show and while Mark looked after it he has gotten attached to it.
This one was gotten from a discusting area and there are no corals or much of anything else there really,they are tougher that way and this one eats out of his hand in just few days in the tank.

This is the avergae colour of the melanopus clowns around here,its a nice nature so far,not normal for these fish,lives well with the latz, akyndinos and skunk.

These wil look great in the tanks.Now mark wants more,the colours will be mixed up in the next ones.

There were lots of blue tangs and a couple of latz,but we have some so we didn't bother.

I love your constant updates.

you may not have these annoying threads much longer,due to family issues i prob will stop copying the forum threads form our club forum in a couple of weeks.

no one else wants to do it,i just wanted to get what the club does out there because we were so slow at getting on the net.

The club has been here since 1927 and we only just got on the net.

if the family things go well i may be able to continue,prob not though.

We are going for a collecting trip in a few days but the one left out of the three trips for the beenliegh show stock will be the last one for the time being that i will copy over.

You never know with what is happening as to how it will turn out,some family issuse you have to deal with are just plain weird.
