It means has one turned female, which I'm guessing it has since you said mated.

 

[ncarvain]

ahh yes, well then in that case, yes. They are very cool and happy fish.

 

[ncarvain]

Slowly building my tank...
Just got a star polyp and he has already opened!!

My cleaner shrimp likes to hang out in the "cave"

What do you think, so far so good...

 

[bigpete]

i really like your aquascaping

 

[ncarvain]

Thanks! I must have rearranged my LR 10 times!!

 

[ncarvain]

Here's a close up of my star polyp. I bought him just a few days ago and he is open already!!

 

[bonebrake]

Looks awesome Nick!
I love the rocks and the GSP.
:joy:
Are the frags you got from me in there or another tank?

 

[ncarvain]

They are in this tank. You can kind of see them in the pic posted on 9-9-06, on the left side of the tank towards the bottom. They are doing well, just not spreading yet.

 

[bonebrake]

I see'em!
I am glad they are doing well!
:joy:

Has anyone with a Aquapod or other nano tried the glass top??
I typically leave mine off, but the other day I found my female clown in the back section, so I put the glass cover on my tank yesterday. I come home today and my zoos and GSP are not open. I take the glass off and they both open up within minutes.
It seems when the glass is on, it takes away some of the light intensity. Does anyone have experience with this?? :thinking:

 

[gnorman]

what size tank is that?

 

[ncarvain]

26 gallon Aquapod. Do you like it??

 

[gnorman]

yeah i do like it a lot. looks great

 

[bonebrake]

Nick, your corals could look unhappy when the glass top is on because there may not be enough air circulation with the water and the pH could slowly drop from the build up of carbon dioxide.

 

[ncarvain]

Just a quick update and question. In the picture of the zoos, any idea what the long thin green things are? I have them all over this rock and they are spreading and growing. :thinking:
Also, bought a lemonpeel. He is an awesome fish and seems to love my tank so far. Hopefully I dont get blasted for this.

This was after my female perc jumped ship and I found her on my carpet.

Your tank looks nice, but I'm not sure how I feel about the angel. I had one in a 90gallon before, and that fish was a constant mover! I am not flaming whatsoever because others I am sure will make up for it. But, if I were you I would stick with clowns, chromis, gobies and blennies. There are some very colorful and personable fish that you can get! Great tank!
