SUMMER UPDATES
Hey All!
I know it's been a while, but all worth it since my tank seems to finally be back on track and stocked with both fish and corals. I've basically been quarantining and/or sourcing fish for the entire Spring and Summer, and think I'm close to being done adding new fish (now onto more corals). Here's what I have up to this point:
Blue Star Leopard Wrasse: My kids call her “Cotton Candy” due to her coloration. This girl was one of the survivors of my old group of fish. Honestly, one of the prettiest fish out there and always gets comments from anyone looking at the tank. Might add another one.
Flame Hawkfish: No name for this guy yet, but I’m sure that’ll come soon. My kids love this guy’s personality and old man face.
Lineatus Fairy Wrasse: a beautiful and active fish that has always been on my wish list. Might name him “Lenny” or something, but I’ll let the kids vote on something.
Golden Rhomboid Fairy Wrasse pair: another fish that I've always wanted. Definitely much more beautiful in person.
Rose-Scales Fairy Wrasse: not many fish have the deep pink coloration of this one. I clearly have a fairy wrasse addiction brewing.
Bangaii Cardinalfish: I hopefully have a pair of these (I don’t know how to sex these fish, but bought a pair that seemed to not hate each other). So far so good, as they seem to hang out together most of the time and I don’t see any bickering.
Royal Gramma: “Kobe” as the kids have named him (with my influence), is one of those fish I have to have in each of my tanks.
Firefish: “Spike” is another fish that is a mainstay with my tanks. A beautiful and unique fish that costs less than a couple gallons of gas these days.
Zebra Dartfish: I got a trio of these guys and they are such an underrated shoaling fish, and never stray too far away from each other always swimming up in the current above the rockwork. In fact, my firefish likes to join the crew every now and then and ride the current with them.
Blue-spotted Jawfish: “Jaws” is BUY FAR my kids’ (and wife’s) favorite fish. A TON of character and beautiful.
Borbonius/Blotchy Anthias: this is a fish that I’ve always wanted, but the price tag was just a bit too much. Well, when Seaside had their sale on them a while ago, I just had to snatch one up. Very cool fish. Now to think of a name.
Tang Gang: I ended up getting a tang gang made up of a Powder Blue Tang, Gem Tang, Yellow Scopas Tang and the Whitetail Bristletooth tang. All beautiful in their own right and seem to get along so far.
Bellus Angelfish: I currently just have one of these, but plan to add two more so that I'll have a little harem.
Pair of Black Snowflake Clowns: two of the last fish I've added up to this point. Another fish that I kind of had to get for the kids. Not hosting anything yet.
I might add another fairy wrasse or two, but other than that (and the ones listed above), I think my fish list is complete!
