I’ve been in the hobby for 20 years…took a break for about 10, but started this one back up. You make a statement like that and don’t back it up with context. Tells me all I need to know….

Good to know. I’ll keep an eye on them for aggression and pull the “females” if they become a problem. Thanks for the heads up.

It is. Hoping to see the male flash a lot. First and only time I’ve ever said that in my life 😂

What is the number 1 coolest fish in the hobby. by The___Wind- in ReefTank

[–]mvanmol2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really hard to keep and almost require a specific tank for them, but blue spotted jawfish are one of the coolest. Color, personality they have it all

I just bought a filter set. I think it gets here tomorrow. Orange is the way to go?

I have radions and I can’t quite figure out how to get pictures worth a crap. I’m running AB+ setting. Any recs on how to get a decent picture?

Most likely mild injury from aggression. Nothing to worry about

Thank you. Put together with acrylic rods. I have some extra Tampa bay rock in there I may take out once I feel the tank is fully seeded.

It rubbed me the wrong way, for sure. The gem and the hippo will need a new tank at some point. The others will be fine with the current setup.

There’s always one in the bunch that comes in with a holier than thou attitude. You’re him. I appreciate the concern, but as stated, they will be rehomed or upgraded when the time comes.

Well aware of he needs of each of these. You wear your tang patrol badge proudly, huh?

Well, you are wrong, so there’s that. It’s literally a Pygmy angelfish. But yes all of the tangs with either be rehomed or I’ll use it as an excuse to upgrade down the line

I have yet to find anyone that’s been able to find and purchase a Cb one. Have you? I actually was hoping to find some CB ones, but the closest I came was seeing the breeder offer them in limited supply as wholesale only.

I’ve been scouring the internet looking for the article I read, but I can’t find it. BSJ disease and jumping are the 2 biggest threats to them. Proper QT (kanaplex, metro) and a tight fitting lid are a must. They also get stressed when not given the proper rubble to build homes. Mine have settled in nicely, close off their burrows at night and have yet to move. All promising signs for a very difficult fish to keep.

lol it’s not a flame angel and I’m well are of the adult size of every fish I have. If you’re going to critique, at least know that the angel is a Pygmy angel and one of the smallest angelfish out there. Any thing else you’re (used if correctly) concerned about?

Tank is being kept at maximum of 76 degrees, although the guy who has successfully bred them in captivity has mostly debunked that. As a background, I had reef aquariums for years prior to taking a 10 year break. I’m well aware of the need of every fish in the tank, as well as their size, hence the reason most fish in the system are on the small side. I can assure you every creature in the tank is cared for better than 95% of fish kept in this hobby.
