Thats awesome. We dont really have many good stores here in Tyler tx and they never get anything neat.... Beautiful anthias as well

Once again, beautiful fish! I wish we got some scorpions here.

 

[regina13]

Wow! Now that is a beautiful fish!
Do you have full talk shots of more of your tanks than just the seahorse and lionfish tanks?

 

[cleve_seahorse]

Gorgeous ! eventually I'd like to do angler tank

 

[coral keeper]

WOW!! AMAZING tanks and fish!! How many tanks do you have? Seems like you have a ton of aggressive/angler/scorpion fish.

 

[cranberry]

*blush*
There is 12 set up at the moment. But there will be a lot less once they are all out of QT and placed in their permanent homes. A bunch of them will be going together.
I have no idea how I will be able to go on vacation ever again.

After all these years I decided I was going to try mixing again. Bought the horses from the same breeder at the same time.... 3 different species. QT'd them for something like 6 months... in separate tanks. Once I put the erectus and the reidi in the 50g, one was dead within a month...... I believe there is an increased risk, but I have no proof of that and cannot speak to it scientifically..... There were lots of variable besides 2 species being mixed.

 

[fishkid13]

Awesome tanks and fish! Any more pictures?

 

[cranberry]

The problem with these guys... once you snap a couple of pics of them you're pretty much done. They don't really do anything new and exciting.

 

[kikithemermaid]

Where do you keep your peacock mantis shrimp? They can break glass, correct?

 

[cranberry]

Naw....... but ours is in a 24g long acrylic. If you were worried about breaking the glass of a smaller/thinner glassed tank, just put a piece of acrylic in the bottom. This is the panel that takes the most repetitious assault.
Now the G. chiragra.... he could probably do it to a cheap/thin glass tank.

 

[kikithemermaid]

What do you feed him? They fascinate me, wish I could get one.

 

[cranberry]

All the meat eaters get a mixture of fish flesh, squid, octopus, clam, mussel , shrimp, scallop, whatever looks good at the pier. Today I bought a different type of flounder... let's see how they all like it tomorrow.

 

[fishkid13]

If you feed you fish this (below) then maybe they would be more willing to do wierd stunts, so you can take a picture of them.

Great tanks keep up the great job. About how much do your anglers and other fish cost? I have seen some of them that can be a really high price.

 

[cranberry]

Their prices really vary depending on where you get them and what colour they are.
The newest pic. I have to hurry up and get him in his new purple coloured tank and out of this meadow of green.
