We call them Fred and Ethel and since moving to the new tank both are happier and swimming every where (they had been in a 55 gal with the Unicorn Tang and some other fish

We have a spotted spiny burr fish in the tank and the unicorn tank, blue jas triggers, and dragon wrasse are picking on him and we are not sure long term what to do - does anyone else have experience with the burr fish, will they nip at other fish or corals?

New kids in the tank - I went by Jack's tonight and picked up 3 corals from Vicki's tank a fungid, a toad leather, and a star polyp also a blood red cleaner shrimp - I'll post pictures tomorrow

cant wait to see them again

I saw Jack pick up a pair of your blue throat triggers!

Coolio fish!

The triggers are very fun to watch "Fred" chases "Ethel" all over the tank - there is a big rock up front that they can swim around and it's like watching those old movies with chase scenes in one door and come out in a different spot

ooooo...I can't wait to see pictures of the new additions!

Ok so we have a Mag 24 with accelerators for the returns and there is great flow, however the sand is blowing out of the corners - what should we do?

Also any thoughts on how to put corals lower in the tank and not have them covered with sand by the dragon wrasse and diamond goby?

Fish Crazy · 06-26-2008, 08:22 PM

I purchased a blood red cleaner shrimp the other night and had not even had time to take pictures when we just noticed the dragon wrasse eating something - urggg it's my shirmp - I hope he enjoyed his expensive meal

Yoikes, sixline and leopard wrasses can be very tough on ornamental shrimp!

Thank you - we too love the B & W clowns except for the fact they do not understand what to do with the anemone

Well tragedy strikes again - I guess that is to be expected when you merge tanks. Last night we could not find the larger Black & White Clown and the tomoto clown has been picking on them so sure enough we found the fish on the floor behind the tank - so we moved the other 2 orange clown we have into the tank and spent over an hour getting the tomoato clown out of the tank -

We had the black clown for 2 years so it really (#@^%%^# me off that this happened - but at least we still have one left and it is getting along very well with the other clowns.
