My Tinker's has arrived!!!

myerst22 · 05-10-2008, 03:09 PM

Hello everyone. I finally got my Tinker's. After waiting for the right one, she is finally here. After waking up this morning and finding my Rhomboid swimming around the tank that was missing for 3 weeks, my Tinker's has arrived. What a great fish day!! It's like Christmas in spring. The fish is acclimating and I will post pics of her later. I have researched the Tinker's throughly, but I want to know people's personal experience with them. I was looking to get a wrought iron but after reading and asking you guys about them, I decided against the wrought because of the need for cooler water temp. So please share your pics of your Tinker's and experiences with this cool fish. Thanks Tim

I gotta ask... what is a Tinker?

Post a pic please

myerst22 · 05-10-2008, 03:18 PM

It's a type of Butterfly Fish. Here's my Rhomboid that went MIA for the last three weeks. It grew about an inch and looks really healthy. She's swimming around and not hiding at all. I'll post pics of the Tinker's soon. Regards, Tim

Woodstock · 05-10-2008, 03:29 PM

Ahh.. okay. I look forward to seeing a pic of the Tinker

That Rhomboid is very pretty! I really like the orange eyes.

Dentoid · 05-10-2008, 04:53 PM

Beautiful fish Tim! Aren't they a deep water species? Do you have to keep the water temperature lower than most tropical temps?

Woodstock · 05-10-2008, 04:56 PM

Ohhh wow! Awesome butterfly!

goldenmean · 05-10-2008, 04:57 PM

Hello all. I have been really busy at work, doing the 15 hour days. So the story is of an estate manager in the Hamptons in the summer, but at least i get three months off in the winter. Anyway the Tinker Is doing well. Had a hard time getting him to eat until i fed him the gel based food recipe from the Waikiki Aquarium. He's eating well now. If only the the PBT would give him a break. I had to seperate him for a few days because of how nasty the PBT and the Black tang were towards him. Now they have accepted the Tinker's. Well here are some updated pics of the Tink and his friends. Regards, Tim

Beautiful fish there, I tell you what.
