Hello All!

As my previous Blog told you a few days ago I bought two beautiful looking Barlett's anthias and I have awesome news!

So here is what happened, the first day I brought these two little guys home they went right into the 100 gallon reef and the morning after their addition I got a very nice suprise. In my 100 gallon reef I have a very large blue hippo tang who is EXTREMELY aggressive. He has killed one of my clown triggers before!! But the morning after the Anthias were added his aggression was very helpful As i was feeding the tank with Thera A for all the fish he was being very aggressive towards the Anthias while eating. So the Anthias decided to say " Oh HECK NO!" and ate his Thera A!!!! SO MY BARLETT'S ANTHIAS ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN ON PELLET FOODS WITHIN A DAY OF ADDING THEM!!

I feed them three times a day with mysis at 10, Mysis at 4, and finally Thera A at around 8:30-9 o' clock. They are eating like little pigs and I am very happy to have gotten a well shipped happy pair of them

    Don't you just love it when things work out great!
    I always get anxious about getting new fish because I never know if they'll eat pellets or prepared foods.
    Why not post some pictures?

    Its the best feeling! haha and i would love to post pictures.. even videos! but all I have is my stupid phone and I have tried capturing pictures of them countless times over the past 3 or so days and my POS phone cant capyure them well enough without being blurry and or not doing them justice with the colors under my LED fixtures (all I use on my reef tank, no halides, t5's, VHOs. just LEDs) so I am kinda screwed :/

    Not so good pictures are better then no pictures. We'll get the idea.
