Beautiful carpet Robert! I love that color. Your tank looks outstanding.. good work!

cheeks69 · 10-14-2005, 11:01 PM

Thanx Doni... so do you think it's a Gigantea Haddoni or Mertensii ???

Woodstock · 10-14-2005, 11:19 PM

Haddoni. The shape and mouth look identical to mine.

Craig Manoukian · 10-17-2005, 11:39 AM

Wow, very nice Robert. You have just 4 fish? Great photos!

cheeks69 · 10-17-2005, 11:45 AM

Thanx Craig

My current fish list is:

Blue Throat Trigger
Pink Margin Wrasse
Purple Tang
Copperband Butterfly
Pair of True Perculas

I have tried several Gobies since their one of my favorite fish but they have been either harassed to death or have jumped so Gobies are out of the question

Woodstock · 10-17-2005, 12:34 PM

Have the percs taken an interest in the carpet yet?

Newt · 10-17-2005, 01:20 PM

Beautiful tank you have there...as well as some wonderful looking fish in it.

cheeks69 · 10-17-2005, 03:45 PM

Thanx JK !

Doni the Female has been hosted by the Frogspawn for several months since I removed all of the Orange tip BTA's. The new mate has been close to the Carpet but hasn't taken to it yet. I also had to rearrange the tank again since the Carpet at night stretches itself out and was getting very close to some SPS corals.

Woodstock · 10-17-2005, 04:39 PM

Okay, good luck with it!

BTW.. I hear there is a special dance that you can do.... if done properly will entice the clowns to move into it... that's just hearsay so far... I've seen no proof yet... LOL~

Another update

Alot of things have happened since the last update.

First I lost my CBB a few weeks ago, it just stopped eating and starved itself to death. I don't know exactly why but I suspect it was intimidation during feeding time by my Trigger and Purple Tang, I was very disappointed this CBB was eating out of my hands was very active and beautiful, just a great community fish

The attempt to pair my Perculas was a failure, although in the first few days they appeared to be getting along it looked very promising but the female eventually turned on him and was beating him up so bad that I had to remove him otherwise death would've certainly occured.

Then the worst blow of all was my Stichodactyla Haddoni eating my Trigger and then deciding to move to the other side of my tank stinging my corals along the way I had enough and removed it from my tank, put it in the sump for a couple of days as I pondered what to do. I decide to return it to the LFS and get a Fungia and an Exquisite Fairy Wrasse. I also added a large Squareback Anthias it's doing very well eating like a pig.

My Corals are doing very well and growing at an impressive rate especially my Frogspawn and Scripps Stag. The Frogspawn has grown so large he is attacking the surrounding Mushrooms and Ricordeas and will probably have to to be fragged

Also incredibly all 3 of my Montipora capricornis are recovering from bleaching and STN. I thought they were all dead and removed most of the dead skeleton but somehow they have reappeared and are growing very well.

Anyway here's a few photos:

How big was the trigger when it was eaten? Those are tough losses.
