Dang nice pics Scott! Your female mandarin must be part black widow or something since she got rid of her mate. I really like that hawkfish, I can't remember but am too lazy to go back and look, ...does he leave the shrimp alone?

Dentoid · 03-11-2008, 09:41 PM

Thanks Greg! I have had no problems with my Hawkfish and the shrimps. In fact I have seen the Cleaner shrimp on the Hawkfish.

It was strange because the male Mandarin was very robust. For the first 2-3 days I saw him following her around the tank, no aggression, just curiosity. Then I stopped seeing them both for about a week, which was unusual. Then I finally saw the female and she is out and about all the time now. I have not seen the male in over 4 weeks. I can only speculate as to his disappearance. I guess it is possible that the female killed the male, but he was bigger than her. I have a rather large flower anemone and 2 large serpent stars. It's possible that one of them got him.

Thanks for stopping by!

You bet! I was kidding about the black widow thing, I'm sure he met his demise some other way. I'm maxed out but am thinking of the larger tank for the hawkfish. They are so interesting to watch, lot's of personality! Now I just have to get a larger tank...with a house attached to it!

Hey Wolfy, good to see you back! How's life in your neck of the reef! I thought you ran off with Lisa!

Have you heard from her at all? Looking forward to seeing some pics of your awesome reef!

Craig Manoukian · 03-12-2008, 12:40 AM

Things looking swimmingly well Scott!

Anselth · 03-12-2008, 03:31 AM

Nice looking fish Scott! Sorry to hear about your Mandarin.

bluespotjawfish · 03-12-2008, 07:44 AM

Awesome shots Scott, as we have all come to expect! You always deliver...you even found Wolfy!

If my male mandarin has to pack his bags, your place will be the first door his knocks on. Thanks for all your support BTW! It's nice to have someone to lean on in the rough times! I greatly appreciate all you do.

goldenmean · 03-12-2008, 08:03 AM

Love the pics Doc!
you know I am fond of the Long Nose.

Bummer about the male mandarin.

Love the adjective Craig! Thanks! I can always count on you!

Adam, thanks for stopping by. Let me know when you are back from duty and I will send you a frag or two!

Lorraine, I do what I can. I know that you'd be there too!

It'll work out.

Jeff, I thought of you when I was posting that picture! The longnose hawk will be a great addition to your tank!

Doot77 · 03-12-2008, 10:52 AM

Love the pics Scott, you got some nice fish in there. Of course I think you know which one's my favorite.

Dentoid · 03-12-2008, 10:55 AM

It's a "mystery" to me Matt!

Thanks for stopping by!

BigAl07 · 03-12-2008, 11:30 AM
