I really need to take some pictures of sparkles palace now. He has like 3 different entrances each one just big enough for him to fit through. At night he closes all of the doors and goes to sleep. Yesterday he stole food right from the mouth of the barnacle blenney. I felt bad for the blenney but sparkles is certainly eating now. Don't want murphy calling but this is the happiest one I have had so far. One of the others was sick from the start and the other jumped. This guy is clearly healthy and as far as I know there is no way for him to get out.
Pics in a bit. Gotta talk hubby into taking them since he does a much better job.

Well sparkles had a name change this weekend.
I kept finding myself calling him sunshine so I guess that name is going to stick.

OK I am really starting to scare myself with this fish. They just have soo much personality apparently it has even sunk into my subconscious.
It's not bad enough that I turn on the light and either say or sing good morning to sunshine. It is not bad enough that the first thing I do when I get home is say hi again.
No, now I have to dream about the fish. This is starting to get scary.
Anyway, last night he had a portable home in a clear lunchbox type thing and I took him around with me on vacation.
How scary is that?
Anyway it was funny so I thought I would share.

Very funny Lynn! I've had fish dreams as well, so don't feel crazy

[lcstorc]

Well I know I am crazy but this is just a new level.
Sometimes I scare myself.

Great video!

I need to do another now that Sunshine is out more. Also to show his now palace. Maybe pics will do. The weekend is coming and hubby has to work Saturday so maybe I will do some experimenting while he is gone. He takes the good pics though so if mine come out icky I'll ask him to take some on Sunday.

OK Guys and Gals I need som suggestions here.
I have a 90g tech tank which was set up for seahorses. The chiller hasn't been plumbed yet so the ponies have to wait for now.
Meanwhile I can't stand to sit here and look at this almost emply tank. I haeve T5 lighting to keep the teemp downm and so far I have a bluespot jawfish, and a pair of purple firefish. I also have a rock of blue polypsl, an orange gorgonian and a brown gorgonian.
I am looking for some color and/or movement I can add to the tank that will not be a bother to my poines.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

Ricordias and zoanthids would add color.

Hello Lynn, here are my recommendations:

1. Corythoichthys schultzi (Pair)

2. Doryrhamphus multiannulatus (Pair)

3. Dunckerocampus boylei (Pair)

4. Discordipinna griessingeri

5. Flabelligobius sp.


6. Trimma rubromaculatus 1.5 (1 male. 5 female)

7. Heteroconger hassi (Group min. 3)


there are still many more one could recommend but this would be my favorites.

edit:

PS. Any Lobophyllia, Trachyphyllia or Cynaria ad color and does not sting the seahorses.

I absolutely love 4,5 and 6. I was trying to stay away from the pipefish at Matt's sugggestion.
I did forget to mention one current fish and that is a mandarin. Would any of these be a problen with a mandarin?
Now I juat have to find them ovet here. Gorgeous fish all.

So...Lynn...where's those pictures you promised?

[lcstorc]

LOL
Which ones? I've made a lot of pic promises.
I have however discivered one thing. I am even busyier now than I was when I had a job.
I'll try to get Frank to take some tonight since mine are worthless. It may be hard because his sister is her for their father's hip replacement surgery.\
I may be able to convince him though. I just cleaned my closet and am getting ready to do a water change all by myself. (Yes my water battle ded end in a flood again but it was in the garage so hopefully it will dry before he gets home.
