Oh! My avatar is a pic of my dragon wrasse - forgot about that! He usually only comes out in the day and buries himself in the sand at night.
Okay...full tank pics.
The second picture shows (in part or whole):
2 lions
Foxface
Yellow/PB/Sailfin tang
Blue lip angel
Dogface
Blueline
Filefish
Emperator (I think that's him that looks like a blob)
Like I said I have some that just hide: the betta, one grouper, the twin spot, dragon, black angel...and for some reason my purple tang was being shy tonight.
(laughing)
Oh wait....my fiance just called me to say the drago is "out". You'll like the picture I just took of him...he's soooooooooooooooooo tricky!

Oh! I do also have an inline spa filter hooked up (you can see it in the lower left of the full tank pic.). Sometimes I have a filter in it - sometimes I don't.
My UV sterilizer has been down since August - just got new bulbs today.
Let's see...anything else?....yes...last week Freek and I hooked up a skimmer...figure even though I don't think it pays to screw around with what HAS been working...a skimmer won't HURT anything.
Don't hate me because I have a fishie green thumb guys!!
And I HAVE had failures! I've had 3 stripped sharks jump out of the tank - damned hard to feed with other fish in the tank - things are almost blind.
I can't get a Pinnatus to live no matter what I do - although - in a species only tank - feeding them ONLY M.Y.S.I.S. shrimp - I think I could do it.
Red tailed/6 line/Christmas wrasses....no luck!
My Nano cube is just a death trap - pipefish, seahorses, wrasses...the only success I've had is with a big Percula clown and aptasia...REAL huge success with that. (sigh). If they could figure out how to get better circulation and maybe a protein skimmer hooked up I might be happier!

Oh my Gawd - a doubting Thomas! You'll note I tied my purple tang in with one with the lionfish since it's not in the big tank picture....
LOOK CAREFULLY - there are at LEAST 10 in the big tank pic...11 I think...a tail here...a face there...on the edges of the pic (filefish and brown tang)....at least 10....and I only have 18 fish + 2 snails. Want pics of the snails?????
Do YOU get ALL of your fish out at once? Sheesh! I have wrasses, groupers and a betta...they HIDE!

trust me ladies and dubting tomas's I don't know how he is doing it either but it's working. The Emperoter angel that I gave hime 3 years ago went trough the complete cycle to adulthood. Every fish in this tank is thiving all were bought at 1" to 3" sizes. They are all now about tripeld in size. Don't doubt this guy he is a fish guru. Except "for my morish idol"and yes every fish that he mentioned that is in his tank is in there. He's not bull$#-%ing u.

I don't doubt you in the least. My 140 gallon (which I've mentioned many times before) put your current tank to shame in the overcrowding dept. I also never did water changes, fed them like pigs, and I just remembered that we used to dump copper into the tank just to kill the occasional algae on the glass and rocks. I'm glad there are other people who realize that sometimes the less you do, the better it is. Now that my current tank is cycled I'll be adding fish and probably not doing water changes, just adding Chemi Pure to the filtration.
Hey, let's have a race. First one to 30 fish wins!

Fishfinder - Good Eyes!!
Jr2857 - I was kidding my friend! Of COURSE I've researched!
Kamaquzi21 - Thank You!!
Boalgf - I guess I lucked out - I hear they ARE difficult to care for. When I got mine he was fairly small, 2-3 inches, but he eats like a CARP...just keeps growing and growing.
Mystic7 - AHHHHHHHHH!....a fellow fish abuser! Copper for the algae, hmmm? Okay...guess I gotta go out and get some copper now.
So...you WILL just be dumping in 30-40 fish right out of the box into the new tank, right? Hell with the onezie-twozie at a time thing.
And did you do what I do to properly cycle the tank? - drink a few beers and pee into it? Cycles 'em right up every time. And from time to time I do so just to "charge" the water a bit. Adds a lot of color to my tangs.
(kidding you guys - I'm KIDDING)
