Tank birthday, 47+ years

Spotted hawkfish.

Thats what I thought, but I don't think so. It does look like a hawkfish, but I had a few spotted hawkfish and they were slightly different. Of course, I could be wrong.

never heard of the short men craving tall women? vise versa ? Very common in Ireland for mismatched couples

I don't know, but they seem to hang out together and besides my bluestripe pipefish is a girl.



I don't know what the Janss pipefish is.

High tide so I have to walk east. I can't get around those rocks without jumping in the water.

There are indeed a few different variants/ colour paterns of the spotted hawkfish.

There is so much of this macro algae in my tank now that I think it will produce eggplants soon. The stuff is horrible, but kind of nice looking. I don't remember where it came from but it grows fast. Not as bad as that invasive sponge I got rid of a couple of years ago but also a possible tank crasher.

You can see some of it behind the Janss Pipefish. The stuff covers everything and when I get ambitious, I can pull out a pound of it. (I don't know how much that is to you British guys).

It doesn't grow on the corals like the sponge did, but it grows next to then and shades them.

Everything is very healthy and growing very fast. Faster than I would like. The fish are all going to be on
"Healthy Fish Monthly Magazine" if there was such a thing. I don't have to worry if I buy a fish if it is going to eat or not. That doesn't happen in a natural, non quarantined or un-medicated tank, the fish just swim around smiling and would eat paper if it had a picture of a worm on it.

There are very few "Hard to keep" fish. It is us that is making it hard for the fish and trhe fish really don't like us, especially if they don't get the right food or have the correct hiding places where they can't see us. Even if we are very good looking like me.

A UK pound in weight is exactly the same as your US pound. It's only gallons you made a mess of a UK gallon is larger than a US gallon.
