i jest got a orchird dottyback

Orchids are awesome, there is a spawning pair in the 37g... awesome little fish.

thought I'd add my bad boy to this thread! He's always throwing down with my sixline wrasse. Nobody messes with my Maroon though. Wish I could throw another fish into the mix but these three are pretty aggressive.

can't figure out how to add direct pics yet.

Awesome neon!

Thanks, you too. Love the way he postures sideways every time he gets near the sixline. Only negative is he likes to burrow and blow sand all over my frags:squigglemouth:

I've got a pair of Queenslands as part of my broodstock, not yet spawning, but they haven't been a pair THAT long...just since Jan 8 of this year. They were a PAIN to pair up...the female got her fins shredded several times and they are the only two fish in a 55 gallon tank!

I had a dream I was a Pseduochromis last night, decided it was a nightmare when I looked into the tanks reflection and I was actually a Royal Gramma.. *** :(

Here ya go Kraylen. I didn't post pics of them at first because the only pictures of them I have are when they're in the acclimation bucket. The pics don't show their true colors AT ALL but I try not to harass my broodstock ;)

Male, looking very peeved:

Female, looking equally peeved:

Whatever specks appear to be on the female are actually just particles in the water...she's perfectly healthy :)


I bought the pair of orange tailed dottybacks off of Diver's Den last night...they'll be here tomorrow!!! :D

OMG I want to eat them!!!

Ahh, so jealous... Try to get some new pics of them! :)

I have a Neon that is out of his mind. Any new fish I add big or small gets the royal butt kicking. I had a large sixline in a nano that was getting too aggressive so thought it would be a good idea transfering him to my 60g prop tank that has the Neon. Bad idea. The wrasse was dead within a day. I must say though, he is one beautiful fish. Really rich orange with the blue highlights.

Yeah, neons can be relentless!! They are so interesting though... :)
