Gee that took all of what.... 5 mins after introduction? images/smiles/icon_eek.gif

I am seriously looking at Wrasses like your Christmas Wrasse or a Celebese Wrasse I saw at Animal House on Sunday, but the safe side of me is saying, "if you value your mobile inverts, you'll think twice about a large wrasse".

What to do, what to do....

[Acro]

hey andrew I have a article in a fama mag about wrasses it's old but that was why I bought the christmas wrasse I can look for it 4 ya if you like and can hook up if you would like to borrow

That would be great. I'm doing more reading online now as well, but I think the end result is much like your decision with the copperband. If you want it, and you feel it can be a tank inhabitant without too much trouble, you probably just end up getting it anyways.

well after putting the cbb in the tank I was very suprize to see all my fish freak out the cbb is small and all the fish are scared of it I can't beleive I have raised a bunch wimpy fish.

Those are cool looking fish. I think I need a 500g tank to keep all the fish that I like! images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Awesome fish Jamie, hope you have success with him/her. I've been eyeing the pyramid butterfly, Hemitaurichthys polylepis. Don't you wish some of the chaetodon spp. were reef compatible? In particular, C. austriacus and C. ornatissimus, the exquisite and ornate butterfly fishes respectively. I wonder if what makes them so alluring is that we can't have them?

[Acro]

hey now we can have them don't say that images/smiles/icon_eek.gif images/smiles/icon_eek.gif

I hope I'm not too early on saying that I finally post a pic. images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

It's such a nice looking fish, I hope he's made a nice new home in your tank.

[Acro]
