Dr Marco's 125 experiment

[reeffreak]

I've seen the blue sided in pics,a very pretty wrasse.Is a threadfin an anthias?

 

[Bifferwine]

Ya I wanted to order threadfins for my school too, but couldn't find them on any of the sites I was comfortable ordering from.

 

[reeffreak]

I still don't know what a threadfin is.I googled it and in some pics it looks like a dispar and in others it looks like a lyretail but different coloration.

 

[reeffreak]

Okay nevermind,the Threadfin is the same as Carberryi anthias.Those are in stock at liveaquaria Biff.If they die on you,they don't require a pic or mailing back the dead specimen.

 

[Doc]

looks like you figured out what a threadfin is.

As for a butterfly fish - I want to be able to keep soft corals and they all love to eat them

-Doc

 

[Piggy]

Great pics. Loved the video. Your fish are pigs.

 

[reeffreak]

I ordered two threadfins,another female lyretail and a resplendent anthias Doc.You think I'm moving to fast-of course I am!

 

[Doc]

nah. You can do whatever you want with your tank. Best of luck to you

-Doc

 

[Doc]

Wuu-WHoo. I added 20lbs of live rock to my tank today. Boring huh? They were in 2 big rocks tho, one that was 6 lbs and the other was 14 lbs. They make the tank look fuller. I am planning on re-scaping it and adding two or three more leathers to give it a more full look. I have decided to add only soft corals to this tank, but I may try the obligatory frogspawn or hammer frag from the other tank in time. That way, it is no risk to the wallet

-Doc

 

[reeffreak]

Show before and after pics of the aquascaping.They are always interesting.

 

[Doc]

yeah. it is ugly. Just ugly. It is getting ready for a shark, maybe. Just close your eyes and imagine two really big rocks just sitting on the left side of the tank, looking weird and cream colored.

so. I've got the sohal blues. I saw one at my lfs yesterday. I WANTED IT!!!!!!! but the damn thing was $176. :cry:

 

[Doc]

I got mine for $80. Your LFS is EXPENSIVE for a Sohal. You would love one in your 180 Alexander

-Doc

 

[Alexander]

if it was 80 dollars I would have bought it no questions asked

 

[Alexander]

maybe ill order it off saltwaterfish.com or something

 

[Doc]

Sohals can be tough to find a good specimen. It is probably best to find one at the LFS if you are going to get one

-Doc

 

[Alexander]

hmmmm well I sure as shit aint buyin one for 176 dollars. that guy can dream on. maybe he will sell it cheap when its there for weeks cuz nobody will buy it at that price. it definitely looked great though

 

[MikMcgyver]

Thats how I get mine. Wait for em to go on sale... Plus I get to see if they are eating or not..

 

[Doc]

they are totally worth it though, Sohal tangs are the shit!!!

-Doc

 

[Alexander]

sohal and vlamingi and I'm set!
