Mr. Bluespot

[Trichome]

Ok it only took me about a month to post but here is a picture of Mr Bluespot. This is an old picture. He is still in the same corner but now has a ton of sand and rubble and made a nice sized home. I will get a new picture up asap.

Welcome! Can't wait to see his new digs!

Love those fish .... they are so cool.

 

[DaveK]

Just think, that fish is living better, and eating better than you are.

Makes you wonder which is the intelligent species.

We always love to welcome a new blue.

Here is a nice shot of Mr. Bluespot's big mouth.

Yep, that is a bluespot. Amazing how far they can open their mouths.
They can eat large pieces of food as well.

cool! Sorry if I've missed an earlier thread from you but what size tank do you have and what other inhabitants? I'm ready to add another fish and I was considering one of those for my 75. THanks!!

Sorry about being MIA for a long time. I have my BSJ in a 120g tank along with:

Water added: 1-12-09

Yeah so i got the bug.....really bad. I am starting a new project as the title says. In doing this i have made the heart breaking decision to break down the 54g tank and move it into the 120g. This will allow me to keep a TANG, and MORE CORAL! I will be drilling out this tank for a closed loop. I will be posting pictures of the build from drilling out the tank, building the sump to adding all the equipment. Then the fun stuff!

Here is my most recent pictures of Mr. Bluespot:

This little guy eats like a pig. I feed him DIY homemade food. I got really lucky. He built his home in the front left hand corner of the tank right up against the glass!
