I have to say jr is one very impressive fish It was so tempting to buy one for my tank. I love big fish. A shot of my crew, and let me tell you this was a hard shot for me to get.

Have all the incumbents accepted your new group? Do you see a hierarchy forming within the YT group?

I've seen this tank up close and personal and let me tell you guys that the fact that he has all the yt's and the achilles, and powder blue who definetly is a bully is just a feat in itself gary love the tank. pm me i need to bring you some of the hammers i have waiting for you that i fragged.

Stunning tank.

For so many reasons.

Large beautiful fish, SPS flourishing with what looks like good color.

It may be a subject for another thread, but I would love to know how you manage your nutrients. It's something I'm struggling with at the moment. I feel guilty for feeding the fish only once a day. But my corals are doing better.

I've been hearing from people that keep nice sps tanks that they feel the key to really lowering nutrients is to add a bacterial source and feed it. I'm not sure if I'm convinced but if you are doing it too, there's another convincing example to use it.

I love them and have one in my frag tank,i'd love to put one or two in the display,but the purple tang would open a can of whoop-@ss on them I fear lol with all the whooping going on my pbt would go crazy and have a heart attack lol..

I think I'm pretty lucky I have a large Naso,Large PBT and a semi large Purple tang living together nice,dont want to push my luck

all 3 YT's have definitely fattened up and grown noticeably larger. You can also see how large and fat the striatus bristletooth is.

I have three in my predator system - they are aggressive but the triggers and maroon clown keep them at bay. It is really neat having more than one....

How's the trio coming along? Were they QT'd in the same tank or in individual tanks?

QT'd separately. They never met face to face until I plopped them into my display all at the same time. All are very similarly sized. They are now getting fat and have gotten a little larger. More confident, too.

They're absolutely gorgeous- you can spot them from across the house.
