a couple moooore for now

 

[bronco300]

ok, a few more afterall

 

[bronco300]

and here is one of those stupid tube things

 

[fishgeek01]

Is the new fish the one in the front or the back? Also i think the tube things that are stinging your corals are hydroids. do a quick search and learn a little about them, i don't know anything about them, only heard of them and seen a few

 

[bronco300]

hmm...i believe it is the one in back that is new, yea

 

[fishgeek01]

from what i can see they have different jaw lines, and i know that my male would have chased any other male away by now, so hopefully you do in fact have a pair. But like i said i think they are different going on the jaw line alone. the male is more blocked, while the female has more curve to it, may take awhile to actually be able to tell the difference though. they probably will not breed until they are both well at or over the 2.5 inch mark, my pair is pushing 3 inches each.

 

[bronco300]

fine with me, i'm just glad they're not tearing at each other...just about right away they got together, and now they stick together, which i assumed like most others males would fight for dominance and or kill each other.

 

[fishgeek01]

did you check out the hydroids? is that what those tube things are?

 

[bronco300]

i think so...stupid things...i'm getting so sick of them touching my zoos...and i am reading that nothing freakin takes care of them...stupid things...guess my peppermint purchase was worthless

 

[fishgeek01]

yea i did a little research for ya and didnt find anything either. supposedly they can come and go whenever as well, lying dormant in your tank for up to several years? not cool. not the best hitchhiker to have

 

[bronco300]

not the best indeed, and quite the PAIN to pick off...stupid things

 

[bronco300]

not sure which corals you are talking about...only thing ive gotten since you've seen the tank was the two fish...i think i had all the corals

 

[fishgeek01]

I'll email you directions on how to get to my place, think you will have time?

 

[bronco300]

this weekend i will not as i have a family get together up north, maybe the next or so

 

[bronco300]

got any other frags we need to trade?

 

[fishgeek01]

you have mail, thats cool about this weekend, def next or sometime soon, as i may be moving by the end of dec.

 

[bronco300]

mail, and some pictures to share..this area seems to be the clowns fav...they have been cleaning it i noticed last night.

 

[bronco300]

one more?

 

[bronco300]

well not sure what happened, but the supposed female bangaii is gone...cant find her for anything....unless she is hiding in the rockwork... :notsure:

 

[fishgeek01]

hmm, is that the one you just got from the lfs, its to bad to hear that, I had really bad luck with the first 2 pairs that i tried, they were wild caught so they hadnt had the best of care before they got to me, finally the last 3 i bought were tank bred and did fine. I hope she is just hiding man, thats to bad. keep us posted. any chance of coming down this weekend?
