My Most Wanted

[michael_cb_125]

Well, the DD got in the Angel at the top of my list tonight. And it is in the size range that I want, and the price is VERY GOOD. I wish my tank was ready.

But there will be more. Honestly I thought a 5" Conspic from the DD would run around $2300.00

Someone will get a good deal.


Drs. Foster and Smith Diver's Den® - Chaetodontoplus conspicillatus

you isn't your qt ready? couldn't it be held there?

 

[Dentoid]

That's a beauty. Where are they indigenous?

 

[michael_cb_125]

Lorde Howe, New Caledonia, Australia.

This is an amazing fish.

Yungreefer. My Qt is ready, but I have decided not to add any fish to it, until my DT is ready. That way if I have any issues in QT I can move the fish to the DT.

[yungreefer2410]

do you even have the tank for the dt yet? anymore hints on size?

 

[michael_cb_125]

I have the tank half full as of right now. And I have almost all of the Rock in it.


Size: Over 100 and under 1000.

Ok, it is out. 150.

The main reason I have been keeping it on the DL, is due to the fact that 90% of the people here will say that my Stocking List is not realistic. I have planned on getting bashed for my fish list vs. tank size, but I know that it can be done. I have been getting loads of help from several people who are angel nuts, and have some of the most amazing collections that I have ever seen. I actually have a new outlook on FOWLR stocking methods.

My dream fish: baby interruptus angel from RCT

I would forgo all other fish, corals, etc to have one of these fish. Better yet, a pair. Someday I would love to breed them.

 

[michael_cb_125]

I simply love the little Interruptus Angels. And as I am sure you know RCT has some of the best out there.

~Michael

 

[michael_cb_125]

Another fish that I would love to have, but alas.......my tank....she be no where near ready........such a virgin tank.......cannot handle.......a fish of this nature.

[new reefer 03]

i want a copperbadn butterfly, but am unsure about feeding them. fixng to replace my 4" YT with a 1" Purple Tang

 

[michael_cb_125]

Ah, but this is not a CBB.

Must Rarer, and much more difficult to obtain.

~Michael

 

[yungreefer2410]

what do cbb eat? just normal food?

 

[michael_cb_125]

The fish that I posted is a Japanese Brown Banded Butterfly.



~Michael

 

[yungreefer2410]

yea i know it wasn't a cbb. i was just wondering what they ate

 

[michael_cb_125]

Sorry,

CBB will eat just about anything you feed the tank. Finding foods for them is not the issue at all. The main issue regarding CBBs and feeding is their reluctance to do so. Some specimens that arrive are very healthy, and take food almost immediately, some need coaxing to consume a captive diet, and still others will never fully acclimate to captive fare and wither away.

[yungreefer2410]

oh ok thanks. i'm considering one for my 55 but not sure on the size of it
