It's amazing how attached you can get to a fish.

Your right Tammy. I would be very sad if my Mandarins died, especially the male. He's like a little puppy dog just waiting for you to get home.

It really gets me to lose a fish especially one I have had for sometime..

 

[tvreaves]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your flame hawk. I enjoy seeing them at the LFS's. They seem to have lots of personality.

 

[tnwillia]

Sorry Terry!

 

[Bobi1956]

WOW I missed a happening and a bad bad one at that - so sorry Terry - you need to get another and name him _______ the 2nd (II)

 

[Reefmack]

Thanks all. I probably will get another and hope he's as well behaved as the first one.

Atta boy Terry.

 

[Shamus]

Sorry about the flame

 

[JimmyJ]

Sorry to hear about your Flame

 

[Reefmack]

Thanks all - I have another one on the way already, for Friday delivery. Got a second Skunk Cleaner coming too - mine needed a buddy.

 

[Shamus]

That's good news - good luck with the new additions when they get there...looking forward to pics!!!

Great Terry, I hope the new one is also well behaved. I have been thinking about adding another Fire Shrimp, a friend for the one in the tank and also in hopes of them spawning for live food.

BTW, I caught my Mandarin trying to eat a brittle starfish. I took a few pics and will be posting in my thread now.

Sorry to hear you lost the Flame Hawkfish Terry. I hope the new one has as much personality and is well behaved. Take care,

[JimmyJ]

Glad to hear you have another one on the way.

 

[Bobi1956]

Awesome Terry - glad you decided to move on with it

 

[Bobi1956]

I'm thinking the flame hawk will probably be my last fish add somewhere in the future as I have the purple pseudo coming tomorrow.

 

[Reefmack]

My wife enjoyed the Flame Hawk too and she agreed we needed to replace it - that always helps!

 

[Reefmack]

Took this macro of my little Fromia star yesterday. Don't tell David Shaw how much crud I have on the glass LOL! I tend to let it get a bit dirty to keep my snails, urchin & star well fed. I have a scraping and water change planned for later today or tomorrow morning.

 

[kyley]

That's a very nice looking star! Good macro shots. So it gets along with everything in your tank and vice versa? I don't remember why specifically, but I'd read something that convinced me to only get a serpent star. Maybe I was just afraid I wouldn't be able to keep it alive Take care,

Hi Kyle - I love taking macros and seeing the detail on critters. The Fromia and Linkia stars are reef safe. I've had both before. But, if you get them to live a year or more you're lucky. My big Blue Linkia lasted 18 months I think, and my last Fromia maybe 6-8 months. My wife likes the red Fromias so that's why I got another one. My serpent star I've had close to 3 years now and no problems at all - great CUC!
