Achilles is in the main tank ... I need all the luck I could get.

Emperor still messed with it but not as bad like it was.

Finally red carpet looks great without a drop of medication specially after moving the emperor on the cube tankbut now my scribble likes to nip at the carpet too, he is also teaching the moorish idol to nip at it too. now i have to move the scribble in the cube too until i figure out what to do with them. i spend so much time and money collecting this angels so i will NOT let it go again since i already let go my of maze face blue line a month ago.
Maybe i should just do what everyone are doing filled the tank with zoanthids, acans, chalice, tangs and wrasses then sells those corals since they grow like weeds, easier to keep and less frustration.

I want to make a few changes in the tank hopefully for the best
number 1 is to cut down on my fish, add more detox blox for the cryptic zone, add extra skimmer and add refugium
the most painful task for this changes is to decided what fish to keep

so far i narrow it down to
Moorish idol
sudanese Regal angel
Emperor angel
Pair of true percula
Pair of extreme snowflake clown
aussie Harlequin tusk
3 Cleaner wrasse
Scribble angel
Quoyi parrotfish
Yellow tilefish
purple tilefish
Flagfin angel
aussie male Pictilis Anthias
no more tangs unless I get rid of my emperor angel

all of my other fish will be sold or trade to friends..

For a longest time all I see is giant 8-12" crosshatch trigger pair but this week We have the oppurtunity to own a relatively small pairs.

Male 4" he is already fully colored and more than the juvenile male stunning


Female about 3"


Just like interuptus angel they are more expensive when they are smaller but its worth it IMO.

In 10 years I thought they doing exist on the trade because this guys are collected in much deeper water.
Now My friends have even smaller xhatch pairs than what I have.
my friends have 3" and 3.5" male but I have bigger tank so its works great for us.

Also my relatively small orange tail emperor


Can't wait for next fish pair from liveaquaria :) tomorrow.

They aren't always in deep water. The ones I saw were at 30' and swim super fast. About 100 yards In 15 seconds. That's why I never bought one. They cover a lot of ground quick. Luckily in captivity they stay smaller longer.

Large xhatch are common in shallower water but not the small male that's why you never see them in any wholesaler.
