Thanks Steven! We were lucky to be home when it happened and very fortunate to have a good friend trust us enough to loan us his tank and stand for several months while we waited on the replacement. Otherwise, our outcome would have been very different.

That's number two on my list of favorites. Where did he come from? Really nice pickup. I'm so excited to see one. Amazing, so nice.

Nice cutie leopard!

Great looking Wrasse!

Thanks guys! We couldn't be more thrilled to have her.

Brett, we got her from good friends that are in the process of taking down and selling their tanks. They offered her to us because they know how much we love wrasses. She'll be well taken care of and of course they have unlimited visitation! :bigsmile:

Nice shots of a true beauty!

Amazing, love the bellus male, does he pick on anything

Thanks guys!

The Bellus male chases the female Bellus and our Regal Angel. I don't know that I would call it picking on them, just asserting his dominance over the females. He doesn't pay much attention to any of the other fish.:bigsmile:

Incredible build! What lighting are you running? Please tell me more on how you get such great pictures. I know you said you experiment a lot but I can't get my pix anywhere near that quality.
