Next time you put in a TSM order let me know LOL
well i'm at... 26 fish currently lolllllllllll but i do want a roaops butterfly of some sort so i'm kinda on the lookout. tsm used to get in declivis, but idk if those are even a thing anymore with hawaii closing and all of the fish from kiribati/line islands/marquesas that went through hawaii

such cool fish, congrats! The males get very nice coloration and the females got teh cool v on the head, win win.
yeah i was basically looking for whatever i could find of sunset/princess/resplendent/randalls and tsm just so happened to be getting sunsets which i was pretty happy about. yours are awesome and definitely helped sell me on them

haha those have never been in my price range, especially now on the dark fish web

i basically want to see if i can find a declivis or mitratus for maybe $300, if not i'll go for another burgess. i really liked my burgess for all of the month i had him before the damn velvet

i'm a big fan of theirs, their qt is pretty nuts and they even do fin or gill clippings to look at under a microscope to make sure fish are healthy. pretty cool

and honestly their prices aren't too bad for the most part. i paid 55 for females and 60 for the male, which really isn't far off from where liveaquaria has them at

That's not bad at all. Only 20 more per fish than I paid at the LFS!

i tried to get all crazy and add music via youtube and it cuts off at like 15 seconds, weak af youtube

i've put like half of my fish back in so far. so far so good.. although every time i see a fish go hit up the cleaner shrimp i get worried :LOL:. when i got velvet i swear i couldn't see anything on the fish but they were scratching and using the cleaner shrimp constantly, although looking back i think i did see stuff on their fins but didn't know what i was really seeing. either way trying to take it slow restocking. nobody is scratching so i think i'm just being paranoid

i went from 6 sunset anthias down to 4. 1 died day of shipping and then the male got jumped by a female who i think is transitioning. i'm hoping to get the anthias in there before i add much else

Looking good, everythings look happy.

My group has split off. Basically same situation I think but the female who tried to take over failed and now she's banished. Hangs out on her own. Once you get them in the tank there will be enough distractions with other fish and hidding spots, I'm at 1.4 now.

haha bummer, damn anthias trying to move up the corporate ladder

i could probably just put my male in the tank and as you say he can just hang on the other side of the tank, but i'd hate to see the female get super crazy and just always force him into hiding in there. and no way i could get him out at that point. i was hoping the sunsets would be more chill, but at least they aren't super homicidal like lyretails or bartletts or some of those sorts
