Some new guys & some not so new

[Awibrandy]

OK, I did my very best in trying to get their pic. Darn these wrasse are so fast. I'm gonna need some lessons on wrasse pic taking.:wink1: The first wrasse you see are the fish I got for my birthday from hubby through Scarf_ace & NRA223

Jon your Lubbocks is 1st., I never cared for the lubbocks until I saw yours. I was only buying him because he was your fish. But I'm happy I did, he is gorgeous.

Trevor your McCosker is way to fast for me soon as I think I've got it, it takes off:teeth:.

Taking picture of a wrasse is like trying to photograph a bullet

I thought there was a special trick to taking their pic :lol_large.
Dog Face Puffer has always been my favorite puffer, and my families as well..

Sporty thank you very much for the compliment.:usa1:

Awi -

i LOVE your fish... maybe you can help me figure out what fish i'm gonna get? The move to the 75 is tomorrow, and at the moment, i have only two fish - yellow tang and maroon clown...

BORING!!!!

but kind of cute - they're buddies.

(this is not actually menchems - it's daisy... sorry about the avitar... on husband's computer tonight...)

 

[Awibrandy]

No problem Daisy! The first thing you have to decide is do you want a peaceful yet active tank, an aggresive tank so on, and so on. So many choices. It is amazing the array of animals we have to choose from.:smile:

By the way, there is nothing boring about a Maroon and a Yellow tang. The color contrast is awesome enough!

Nice mix of fish in the 155! When is the other group going back into the fowlr?

 

[Awibrandy]

Puffer, Blue Throat, Lions, PT will be returned to the 75FOWLR after the Marine Betta heals enough for him to be moved into the 155. And the PBT has had a chance to make it's self at home in the 75. That little PT can be a little terror.
He used to chase the larger tangs when he was in the 155, and killed :skull:4 yellow tangs his size. So he has to be the very last one into the 75.

The 155 has 5 lary tails, 3 or 4 stocky, 2 unknown anthias, maroon, clarki clowns, 4 chromis, 1 unidentified damsel, PT, YT, & Red Sea SF tangs, McCosker, Bali Lubbocks, Red Head Salon Fairy, and the infamous Bluesided wrasse, and a Banggai Cardinal. I think that is all of them. Two more wrasse coming within the next few weeks. There is suppose to be a pink spot goby but I haven't seen him since I put him in the tank along with the lubbocks & the red head. Plenty of hiding places, but I am beginning to worry since it is a week now.

As much a terror that he/she is I am so happy to have him/her back!!!!!! I honestly & truly missed that little bugger!!!!!
He/she is such a strong little fish that I will probably be dead, and he/she will still be swimming around.:wink1:

Think about this he/she lived in PetWorks for months with lateral line disease, until I felt strong enough to deal with my tank. I brought him home, had it for about 7 or so months, then it went to you for another 4 months, and now back to me. All these different systems, and never a sign of ich or stress. He/she is truly quite the little trooper. Thank you for letting me have it back Jon!!!

2 New additions

These are the 2 new guys I picked up yesterday from drperetz.
Thank you Gene for the beautiful new members of my happy family.
Pics don't do them justice, especially since I couldn't coxed them in to being still.:flirt:

Whip fin followed by Yellow fin fairy wrasse.

 

[Awibrandy]

I tried to get pics that were a little better, but they are just to fast.:grumpy:

Whip fin followed by Yellow fin fairy wrasse.

The first wrasse looks like young Filamented Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus filamentosus).

I found these two pics of the filamented flasher. The fish I got from drperetz looks nothing like these.

My picture taking is not good at all

 

[Deanos]

The fish you posted has multiple filaments, lunate tail and blue stripes.

Excerpt: The Filamented Flasher Wrasse, also known as the Whip-fin Fairy Wrasse

Ok, we're both right.

 

[Awibrandy]

You and Gene!!! I have nothing to do with this.:lol_large I just enjoy their beauty. Only reason I have for knowing what species anything is, is purely for the care.:catsmiley

Anyway the last two came from drperetz. Next guy I want to add is a long nose hawk.
