13's BSJ heaven

cstamper · 02-05-2009, 02:52 PM

Hey guys...

So after some time of convincing co-workers that we really need a saltwater aquarium we finally got one. (Ok, well two of us ended up paying for the entire thing. But it's awesome.)

We bought a well established system with mature live rock and sand, along with some Xenia, a few mushrooms and a few other fish.

We've set it up, transferred the inhabitants, and are off and running. Everything is alive and well.

Now for the best part, .....we just added a small BSJ, and built him a sweet house to start. As always any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.

For the blue spot I know you need ALOT of live rock rubble in the tank, that is how they build their home and its a necessity. And you will want to make sure the top of the tank is covered, they enjoy carpet surfing (they think they will atleast, but its dry for them...lol). Here is a good link to get rid of the hassle glass tops will bring you...

New to Nano

Bluezoo also says they will attack "small ornamental shrimp" but I dont really know what qualifies in that...lol

Thanks Jeremy..
I appreciate it. This will be my second BSJ. Both are alive and well. I've got one at home in my 24gal Nano. And now this guy in the 80 Gal. Good info!

Coolio! That should spice up the office, giving you something to talk about! I admire your choice of mascot! Congratulations!

Thanks Dentoid! (It's actually at our fire station)
I''l keep everyone up on any changes and pics..
We may go for two BSJ's down the road but I'm still hesitant with only 80Gal. It's a deep tank with a 4-5inch sandbed. Not much width to it though. about 48" long....
take care.

Dentoid · 02-05-2009, 03:32 PM

That's a great idea with the home made burrow. What ingenuity!

Jeremy0322 · 02-05-2009, 04:33 PM

If its your second one then I dont know why I am telling you the basics..lol. Its beautiful, and that is a great idea for a home!

So instead of the obligatory Dalmation, you opted for a yellow fish with blue spots. What a renegade!

lcstorc · 02-05-2009, 06:28 PM

Beautiful fish.
I hve 2 in a 90 but they are on completely opposite areas of the tank. I was extremely worried about adding the second since 2 males will fight often to the death.
Keep us posted with pics.
The more the better. These guys are just soo much fun.

Dalmations are out and bluespots in!
