Angels in the reef

Rate this Entry
The two new angels were released into the reef with zero issues. No aggression, no drama, nothing to worry about. They seem to be making themselves at home nicely.





Here's the Mystery Wrasse and the new African Flameback.


While the camera was handy, I shot some of the fish... these are a few shots I liked. One of the female Lyretail Anthias.

The red Mandarin from ORA.


Bartlett Anthias


Canary Blenny


One of the three Fridmani pseudochromis


One of two Yellow Tangs.




From Live Aquaria's Divers Den: Six Purple Firefish are doing quite well in QT so far.

    Beautiful pictures of the fish Marc. I love the purple firefish. We had one for the first year our 29 gallon was set up. It's the fish in my avatar. Unfortunately, one day I noticed one of our cats sniffing something at the back of the tank. Poor little fish had more in common with jerky than with a fish when I found him. Must have gotten spooked by something and jumped out of the tank. I replaced the firefish with a Fridmani psuedochromis. Again unfortunately we noticed he wasn't in the tank one day and found him in the stand (just recently). After having a couple of jumpers with this tank, I plan to either put the "birdnetting" style screen over the top of the 75 or completely enclose the tank with the canopy (maybe both??).

    208 views and Blake breaks the barrier of silence. hehehe

    I normally don't shoot with a flash, but thought these came out pretty nicely. The angels have been really good, and I'm resisting the temptation to add the firefish to the Peacemaker too soon.

    Jumpers happen, but so far with this tank I've not had that problem. Maybe I'm cursing myself now, but I think the variety of fish that swim high, mid, and low has helped avoid it so far. The Fridmani fish haven't even moved to the mid point in the tank, always staying down low.

    Awesome pictures as usual Marc. I love Flame Angels. Unfortunately I had to get rid of mine when he developed a taste for SPS polyps. Love that Fridmani too.

    Thanks Phil. How've you been? I have three Fridmanis in this system.

    Pretty good. Looks like I'll be gainfully employed again shortly. Debating whether or not I should start an aquarium again or not.

    I love all those beautiful pseudocromis, but in the small tanks I'm limited to I'm afraid of agression.

    Are you here in the continental U.S. now? And yes, you are quite right.

    I'm still in Alaska (technically that's part of the Continental US). And they guy I gave my 55 to last year just asked if I want it back.
