Yahhhh... Ok not the best,, All tangs ( yellow, blue hippo, kole tang and the new gold rim ) get along great... The gold rim does have a scrape on his side. I think it is from the rocks... He tries to squeeze his big butt in small cracks... anyway...lol

Yesterday was just like xmas.... The only one I didnt get a picture of is my citron,,, it is playing shy..

blue_eyes53813 · 09-10-2006, 05:19 PM

Beautiful additions! I'm sure they're very happy in your tank!

Thanks woodstock

I forgot to mention that the lifereef skimmer got hooked up on Friday late afternoon. It only took a day break in time... Tonight (sunday night) there is a real dry skimmate, I think Im really gonna like this skimmer... bravo www.lifereef.com

Love the new additions the Gold Rim Tang looks robust

Can you get a closer shot of the Wrasse ?
BTW do you have any ornamental shrimp ? The Arc eye will gobble them up !

Frankie · 09-11-2006, 08:32 AM

Love the gold rim! i had one once. They go by the names also: white cheek tang, and lolly pop tangs. I know theres a few more but i forgot. Oh, and that Moon coral is very pretty.

blue_eyes53813 · 09-11-2006, 09:14 AM

Cheeks,,, I will try to get a closer shot of the wrasse and yes I have a coral banded shrimp and a fire shrimp..... yikes.. They didnt tell me that..

The gold rim is a beaut,, he is doing so well , swimming out in the open and never even flinched with any stress from the acclimating and transfer... Its like hes been in the tank for months...

Thanks FFRankie... I think they did have a label on the tang as a white cheek gold rim. You are right.
