yay, new critters for the tank

[fishworm]

I decided it was time to head out and gather some new critters for the aquarium. first stop was by Fish's place. It was great to meet ya and I gotta say you have some excellent livestock and corals. the mushroom, polyps and xenia I got from ya are doing great. the red mushrooms havent really opened yet, but all the others are looking happy. I found the perfect spot in my tank for one of those giant mushrooms. I might have to come back and get one next week if you still have them. I got a Kole tang and a coral beauty angel too and they are looking great. the coral beauty is already wandering around the tank pecking at everything.

I did stop by C&S and picked up that iodine suppliment. and a couple of peppermint shrimp followed me home, along with a sand sifting star. I am running a shallow sand bed so I dont think it will hurt anything.


then I couldnt help but stop by petland and see what all they had. nice selection, somewhat decent prices on some stuff, but some of the fish didnt look all that great. still, the impulse buy bug hit me and 2 yellowheaded jawfish followed me home. I always loved those fish.


so, when the tank lights come on tomorrow and everything is looking happier, I will grab some pics and post them up.

ok...got a bunch of pics. things seem to be going great so far. everyone is eating well.

here are the yellow polyps and the reddish mushrooms. these mushrooms arent very happy yet.

and some buttons on a nice branch rock

here are some shots of the other group of mushrooms.

you can see the mass of GSP in this shot. I am hoping to get them to cover the back of the aquarium.

and another shot of them with a couple of the firefish and the coral beauty in the pic

this is the only pic I could get of the Kole tang. he's still quite shy.

and i'll toss in a pic of the dominant firefish just for the heck of it.

here you can see the two jawfish burrows. one on the right and one on the left. they are happily digging away.

and here's one of the jawfish peeking out.

here's some Xenia. it should soon take over that side of the tank.

wow, I actually got a peppermint shrimp to kinda come out in the open for a pic

and last, a whole tank shot.
