Brett, loved the video. How is your tank looking soooo good already? I'm starting to feel anxious about my upcoming tank and being able to "keep up with the Jones's" as they say.

Lol thanks Mark... The little sticks have such a long way to go but I'm enjoying seeing the new buds get bigger.

The stripeys have always been one of my favorite fish and Kien's 4-stripe is my inspiration. Yeah it's a risk but even I get to take risks. So many of you guys have angels and other risky fish so I thought I'd join the pack. I just did it with a pair of $7 fish =) My gramma is so active now I love it. I'll report back soon... heck I still have 7 chromis and they school quite often. Maybe I have the small-fish free pass with this tank?

Ok day one was ok!

Wrasses just love (running at) the filefish. He is hunting pods and they know it so yeah they'll need some time before they're friends. Fascinating fish to watch tho and I never knew they actually had a rasp-like body but now the name makes sense! Haven't notice him eat any aiptasia but he's still pretty cautious moving about.

Striped demons are incredibly fast so I'm praying they fit in nicely. Only infraction I saw was against my corky finger. Little jackass took a little peck and in went all the polyps (something that almost never happens). I watched them for a few hours today tho and there was no repeat. They are tiny and yet so bold!

Everyone's got a few days before I bring my new maculaceps home from Golds. My fairy fishmother must have been watching over me when she sent me out on Saturday. They haven't had one come in in over 7 months apparently and I spotted him hiding in one of the top tanks. Only because I've been obsessing for a few days was an id so easy even with his pale appearance.

........Ive talked myself out of sooooo many file fish........I have aiptasia bad and cant seem to find any means that work on a consistent basis....I just cant get past the "may eat stuff" rep that they have......

It's actually Brad's fault. He won't shut up about how he has them in every tank blah blah blah =) From the looks of him he won't be too tough to catch if I need to.

Once the new tang has broken all my colonies into pieces I'm sure I won't even care what the filefish does lol.

I've had 4 in 3 tanks, no eating any corals

I have one currently in my 180 that has some zoos I wish it would eat. Nada.
Another in my 50 that's mostly zoos, shrooms, etc, and nothing getting eaten but aptaisia in there. Shelley told me today about her tank, the filefish she had loved her nice zoos, so I guess it happens, just never seen it.

lastlight · #**609** 01-23-2012, 05:19 AM

I barely have any zoas... not to mention the weirdo has already really grown on me. My leopard wrasse has never showed any aggression until today lol. His colors are off the charts when the filefish is on his radar.
