OK, my last fish, a flame angel, has been added to my DT. He's doing good and looks great in my DT. So far he's been pretty good. Nipped a few times at the Xenia but hasn't touched anything else. My Hippo Tang picks on him though, but nothing bad, just chases him back in the rock at times. My Yellow Tang could care less about the new addition. Here are a few pics.


This picture is cool because of how Dory is facing the camera. HI!!!
Bubbles (my yellow tang) is also looking rather nice.

Thanks! I can't believe what a HUGE recovery he made. I kept kicking myself that I even bought him but thought, even if he dies I can give him a good home until that time comes. Well, he looks great now and I couldn't be happier with him. He's a fun fish with a great personality.

Thanks! If it makes you feel any better I lose close to 2 gallons a day, so my water bill has gone up. I'm not really sure how much the electrical bill has gone up because my bill is pro-rated so it stays the same every month, even during the summer. But I believe in January is when everything is adjusted and my "new" payment will show up. Not sure I want to see it.
But it is nice to sit back and watch the tank. I'm able to do that more now that it's pretty much done.

I posted this on another thread, but here you go....
FATHER TO BE!!!


They usually hold them for about 21 days, so I figure I probably have about a week before he releases them. They take a lot of work, so I'm not sure I'm up for it with the holidays going on and everything. The hardest part will be catching the male to put him in a breeders net or QT. Someting I'm not really looking forward to, which is why it hasn't been done yet.
At least I know I have a "pair" of Cardinals and they will breed again if this batch doesn't make it.

Wow! I have not seen your tank in forever since I havent been on the boards in a very long time. I just would like to say that your tank has changed alot and you are very good at taking some pictures. I really love the look of your tank and its good to see that all the fish are happy and healthy. Very nice job.

True, but it will knock over my corals and eat my coraline. Some will even eat the corals. I was thinking of adding a "fake" one but I think I'll just try and catch the male. I just bought a breeder net today, so we'll see if I change my mind after a few hours of trying to catch the father-to-be.
