roni May 8, 2012 Share May 8, 2012 Though the pictures are really nice, they actually don't do justice to how nice this tank is. btw, when you frag your A.suharsonoi, I want a piece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leishman May 8, 2012 Share May 8, 2012 Nice work Marina! I knew you were Queen of the fish, seeing this we can add Queen of SPS..... How often do you feed those anthias? Their colors are sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinap May 8, 2012 Author Share May 8, 2012 (edited) You make me blush, Rik This tank is trully a team work of the family. Anthias eat 3 times a day, once they are established. And just to brag a little - have you heard that I bred chrysogaster clowns last year? That's one of the lil guys in front of suharsonoi...

Ryan S May 8, 2012 Share May 8, 2012 Absolutely beautiful! I wish we had TOTM up and running. You'd surely get a page! I'll take one of each please! PS: Did you get your fish primarily from Diver's Den as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinap May 8, 2012 Author Share May 8, 2012 Thank you, Ryan. Powder Blue came to us 10 years ago from Roozens, Tukas are from BlueZoo, and the rest are Live Aquaria (not DD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltwaterworx May 8, 2012 Share May 8, 2012 Lovin' the Evansis.... Anyone else like them? I may know a guy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinap May 8, 2012 Author Share May 8, 2012 (edited) Evansi are beautiful fish, but require at least 3 feedings per day with small foods - cyclopeeze, nutrimar ova, minced mysis. They have very small mouths, even compared to tukas. They were really difficult to acclimate. Edited May 8, 2012 by marinap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
