Orange Spotted Filefish ... he'll be the new in member tomorrow. I might buy the pair and then put them in the refugium down the road. But, I want them, and I'm buying them. It's going to be my early Valentine's Day gift, my husband just doesn't know it yet

So the impossible has happened:
THE YASHA IS PAIRED!
The pistol shrimps have an enormous cave system setup in the front corner of my tank, with three entrances. The blenny is guarding one and the yasha is at another. Lucky shrimp! I'll take a pic tonight.

My husband is giving me a really hard time about having two so I might wait.
You can pay for it and have Mike hold it for you. I've had him hold fish for me.

I'm trying to find out if they will change s e x. I think they're both females and he was just selling them as a mated pair. I'd love to have a male and female, not too sure if I want two females.

Ok well let me know what you decide by the weekend :)
Well it looks like they don't change. So go for it. He will hold it if you call him. He held them for me until I got there last night.

cool thanks
one of them had some discoloration on the fin last time i saw them. did u notice that at all?

Didn't notice anything, they both looked very healthy to me. I took the slightly larger one. I literally spent 2 hours watching them. I think Mike (that's the owner's name by the way) was ready to kill me. I just had to make sure with the purchase since they're such a finicky fish. I made him feed twice to be positive they didn't just eat because they were starving (which some fish stores do so the fish will eat when the customer asks). They both ate both times and ate about the same amount each time, which confirmed for me that they're healthy fish at an exceptional price.
The only discoloration I noticed is that they get stressed out easily and then their color fades.
So far I've gotten mine to eat Cyclops, PE Mysis, ArctiPods, Brine Shrimp and San Francisco Bay Brand Emerald Entree. It hasn't went near the coral or the clam.
She's really funny, she sleeps with her nose against the glass.

If you can't get there this weekend (I know you don't drive) and really want the fish, let me know, I can pick it up for you. I'm going there to buy an acan for my husband for Valentine's Day. Wow! We are complete dorks!
