jgf86123 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I've got 2 islands, the rock is extremely pourous an holey, an the fish have plenty of caves lol, but, they've also got plentyof swimming room, which is nice when you run multiple wrasses in a 40b lol.

nyoder23 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Yes that is very true I think I will just have to build another tank so i have both styles to look at!

cschwarz Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 so i think i got you clowns and angel fish today lol at nicks.. why did you trade them? any bad habits i should know of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoder23 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Yes I did take them to rose city today. There are no bad habits i know of with them. I know they are a mated pair though. I had them lay eggs a few times before but have not been setup for hatching. We have decided to go with some other fish and need to make room. So that is why I took them over there. Funny you picked them up the same day. You should let me know if they lay eggs again. I got two maroon white stripe clowns and I will be looking for some miss bar black clowns soon.

cschwarz Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 ya i usually don't like misbar clown. but these i do lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoder23 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Well they are very nice ones I think. I was a little sad but really like the black ones. My father had a mated pair of misbar black ones until the male died so he just got another one to replace and see what will happen. I might just breed those ones for him i guess. I will just have to go over and get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoder23 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Update So It has been a while since I have done things with my tank. I just went to Nick at RCA today to get a new piece of rock. I also picked up a frag that had different zoa'son it and a blue legged hermit as well. Some day when I get a better picture I will have some really great pics. These for sure do not do this setup justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trautman Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 nice looking tank, how long have you had the powder blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoder23 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 I have had him for about two months now. Got hi from Nick @ RCA. Always wanted one and finally saved the money to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trautman Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 well you are doing something right if you are keeping that fish successfully. nice job. and that rock is infested with kenya tree coral! a lot of people think it is bad, but i have always liked it.

nyoder23 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yes well I have just cut off about 10 pieces of the kenya tree to frag and sell. First time experiment with it... So far so good though. For the fish he had ich and so I had to take him out and treat him and had to take all the live stock out of the tank to treat it as well. Now everything is great and keeps growing like crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Tank looks good, nice and clean. I like the fish, If they went through Ick and treatment then you did good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoder23 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 I was surprised. I did the fresh water dip on the powder blue and thought I was going to kill him. Bouy would she be mad when she came home(scary). But all in all great turn out. thanks for the feed back. Now I need to start stalking it with coral very colorful stuff.

nyoder23 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Today I stopped by RCA and picked up a rock with some ric's on it. I recieved an amazing deal from Nick on it. I also thought I would show an update on the smocasso's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
