270 Gallon "Fish Pairs Themed" Upgrade

[Stang67]

Lost one of my Indian Vegabond Butterflies this morning The two were chasing each other quite a bit so I think the one finally succumbed to it.

I'm so sorry.

 

[danieyella]

So sorry for the loss

 

[MrsBugmaster]

I'm so sorry.

So sorry for the loss

Thanks to both of you

We have a flying squirrel in one of my bluebird houses. Didn’t know they lived in Indiana. The bluebirds never use this box, usually wrens or sparrows so they are welcome to live there.

 

[MrsBugmaster]

Since the regal angels are not going to happen I have a large credit to use. They now have some blue face koi tangs in but not yet listed on the website. I’m waiting to see what the price will be and pictures. I might get one.

Would the scopas be going in with the yellow tangs?

 

[MrsBugmaster]

Would the scopas be going in with the yellow tangs?

Yes. Would have to add them all at the same time though. Which means I would have to keep the yellows in observation tank for another month and hope it works out.

I would love to see a koi in the mix with yellows. I think it would compliment everyone.

Yeah, I think that combo would look pretty cool along with the longnose black tang. I need more tangs for algae control

I just want to live vicariously through you.

She has the tank size.

 

[MrsBugmaster]

So I just went down a quoyi Parrott fish hole, thanks Becky , Seems most report that they don’t survive in tanks long term. So I’ think I’ll pass on that one. Beautiful fish though.

 

[Stang67]

Sorry.

 

[MrsBugmaster]

Sorry.

It’s all good, no need to be sorry.

I think most wrasse live around 5 years anyhow. Parrots are kind of in the wrasse family?

5 years isn’t bad, they lived only 6 to 8 months in a tank from what I’ve read.

5 years isn’t bad, they lived only 6 to 8 months in a tank from what I’ve read.

Most are already in adult phase. Kind of like super male wrasses, they're usually past the half way mark of their life span.

Not saying to get one. Its why i hate wrasse to begin with

Don't they eat coral skeleton and live rock mostly?
