My new little gem, (joc) & friends

[Brad Syphus]

I just wanted to show off my new guy in town. Matt from Austin aquafarms brought me in a pair of jocs and I received the male last week.
Matt is fattening up the little lady before he ships her.
I was acclimateing him and was about to add him to my acclimation box and he got out of the net and off he went to fend for himself.
So... that is why he is missing part of his tailfins, my regal angel and purple tang taught him who rules the roost.
All is fine now and they all get along great now.
Really excited to get his mate soon.

Nice collection of fish you have there!

Those are some beautiful fish you have there!

 

[Brad Syphus]

Thank you.
My 225g is 3 yrs old now and the coral have really taken off . But the fish make the tank really come alive. I'm always torn between a new coral, or a new fish. LOL

That is a beautiful healthy tank. Wish I could sit on your couch for a while.

very nice fish. so is the joc. reef safe ? or is it a taking a chance thing ?

 

[Brad Syphus]

I actually have 5 angels in my tank, The 3 genecanthus angels dont bother any of the coral, My regal angel nips occasionally at my sps and love scolymias and acans, so I dont have scollies or acans in this tank anymore, I have them in my other tank. The sps colonies a large enough to handle the occasional nipping. I haven't had the joc long enough to know what he will do, but my coral can handle it.

Beautiful fish. Thanks for sharing.

 

[smallreefdave]

You really do have a nice group of fish!

 

[Brad Syphus]

Thank you all. As all of you already know, Its an obsession that you can never get enough of. Luckily I have a wife that keeps me out of the poor house when she tells me enough is enough. LOL

Very nice. Is that a C. lanceolatus? I picked one up awhile back and really like him. A couple more faries and I'll be complete.

I'm kind of a wrasse freak also. It's not the lanceolatus, it's a rosefascia.
Some of the other fish I have.

Crap! If my coral addiction wasn't bad enough, I had to stumble across your thread
That's an awesome collection. Got a full Tank Shot?

 

[Brad Syphus]

I do, but it's not very good. I just cant get one I like.

 

[Brad Syphus]

This is how it all started 3 years ago.
I never rearranged the rock, its all where it started out.

 

[SaraB]

Awsome wrasses ... the other fish are too shabby either

Do you have a thread on your system somewhere? I'd be interested in reading about your tank size, etc!

How many total fish are in this AMAZING system
