That brevirostris is going to be better and better as it grows. Very cool fish that the average person really could not/should not have. Looking forward to seeing more pics!
I'll keep you posted! Love that fish and have two of them right now... one is a few inches larger than the other...

Thanks for checking it out!

I need some Midas Blennies!! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Well, of course! Maybe get about 20 or 30 of them!

I had to go back and read from the beginning...I'm at about May 2022 now, and even more blown away. If I hit the lotto, maybe I can pay you to build one for me? I can put a lot of blennies in a tank like this! :p After I finish catching up on this, I'll move on to your videos (subscribed).

Oh, and a queen angelfish in QT? Wow, my favorite all time fish since I was a kid. I always wanted an aquarium with one as a showcase fish. Is this fish going into your big tank?

Thanks for running through the thread! And checking out the videos!

Love those queens too!! Once all the corals mature I may give it a try… they are coral peckers so I’ll wait and see… LOL :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Playing a little fish with my brother Travis, Don, and Calvin! Trav is setting up his 550 gallon (10’x30”x36”) softie reef and his 600 gallon (9’x4’x27”) SPS reef! This is going to be awesome!!

Dave it was great to finally meet you in person. Had a great time drilling rocks, building a scape, and helping get the 10' filled. I will have to get back to Travis' soon ton see the SPS tank set in place and hopefully running. Some day hopefully I can make it to Utah to see your dream tank.

What is the top acro above the blue tort?
The little nub is a colored down Walt Disney… the bigger one I got from Allen I think but not sure of the name…

(Asked Allen he wasn't sure so could have come from Jeff M.)

Still not sure LOL :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
