Too many F/S posts -- some pictures of my fish

[Toddrtrex]

Seemed like most of the threads on the first page were for sale/want to buy threads, so I thought I would share some pictures of the fish. Back in January I had my 6th back surgery, so I had some time to use the camera.


From my 65,

Coral beauty

Flame angel,

Multicolored

"Golden" algae blenny

Showing off its pellet filled belly

I picked up a flasher wrasse not too long ago, still need to get a picture of it.

Centropyge Multicolor -- a type of dwarf angel fish.

Thanks, picked it up for the diver's den section of LA about 4 years ago, see them once in a blue one.

Nice collection!!!! The 1st two pictures.. Are they reef safe?

Thanks a lot. Hmmm, sort of. They will sample everything, but not too much damage. However, they LOVE fleshy LPS.

C. venusta (( Venustus dwarf angel ))

Potter's dwarf angel,

And lastly (( for the dwarf angels )),

Centropyge deborae (( which is a new species ))

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Love the golden algae blenny! Going to start looking for one!

How big is the golden algae blenny? My tail spot blenny has issues choking down even the small NLS pellets.

Thanks a lot guys, means a lot to hear that.

One of my favorites. Been offered a decent amount of money for it, but can't part with it. The smaller ones can have a drap look to them at times, but that is just stress.

I had a tailspot years ago, it too had issues with NLS pellets. Compared to an average tailspot, I would say it is 2-3 times as big -- more in the girth as opposed to length. Pretty much the same size as an "normal" lawmower blenny.

Nice fish and great pictures! May I ask you what lenses are you using?

 

[ptr13]

awesome collection of angels, some pricey ones I would say,nice pics and what camera are you using Todd?

 

[bryman]

Gorgeous pics! Do they all coexist peacefully?

 

[maidia]

Todd, is it Nikon D60? I cannot figure out the len.

 

[Toddrtrex]

Yes, the camera is the D60. Just used the standard kit lens -- 18-55 MM. Most (( if not all )) of the pictures were taken using the "speed" mode -- I can set the speed, the camera sets the F stop.


As for the dwarf getting along, I really haven't had any issues.
The C. deborae and the Potter's are together in my 75 -- it has been about a month now. The C. deborae, has been with me for just over a year now, and in the current set up since June (( when I moved )). I picked up the Potter's about a month ago, I put it in an acclimation box for a week before I released it into the tank. For the first day there was some chasing, but now they act they are just another fish to each other.

The C. venusta is in a 40 breeder with no other angels -- though before the move it was with a coral beauty and multicolored -- back then it was the low man on the ladder, but no issues. Though it does seem more active now -- they are known to be shy fish.

The coral beauty and multicolored have been together for over a year (( before I moved )). The coral beauty was the leader of those 2. About 4 months ago I moved the flame over from my 75 (( this tank is a 65 )). I left it in the acclimation box for week. When I released it there was some issue b/t it and the coral beauty. It took a couple of days (( and some torn fins )) for them to work it out -- but it was never so bad that I even thought about intervening. After that, the flame became the leader, with the coral beauty being second in line. The multicolored is so mellow, no one bothers it.
