The 5 foot build… It’s happening!!

[i cant think]

Lineatus - they can be butts to smaller fairies... up to you
Bathyphylus - yes, if you can't find nahackyi
Nahackyi - definitely if you can find one instead of bathyphilus
Attenuatus - definitely

Cyanogularis - too aggressive for your group
Piscilineatus - sure why not if you have the money
Brunneus - yes
Naokoae - IMO too aggressive for your group
Isosceles - don't you have one of these in the nano?

I did have one in my nano, the gorgeous male unfortunately passed of old age and the transitioning female passed when it crashed.

Gotcha. Sorry to hear that. I'd say get another for the 5 footer. Hard to beat their colors. I think it would be fine with a brunneus.

Do you still have the leopard in the nano?

The Isosceles’ price makes it so hard to pass them up as their colours are just stunning.

Yep! The leopard is doing great, she seems unphased by what goes on and has a nice growth rate.

I love how well mine has done since being established. Peaceful, active, graceful, puppy-ish. Is there really even a better genus than Macropharyngodon?

If I go lineatus I’ll probably aim for a female or smaller male (as with all the wrasses I get) and add it last.
Nahackyi or Bathyphylus is the dream, I’ll likely end up with a Bathy as the Nahackyi is just a bit too expensive when they appear.
Attenuatus is one you already know I’m wanting, it’s one of the flashers I’ll 100% get again after having my other male. Maybe we’ll get even more of a display if the Rubri continues his streak of displaying.
Brunneus I’m hoping to go for as their dark colouring is just gorgeous, especially against my much more vibrant flashers and fairies.

You’ll never believe my luck… A Foxface (7-8 inches) was brought into the other LFS for another customer and it’s now available, maybe tomorrow I’ll be coming back with a foxy again!

5ft, 60"L ×18w" x24"tall.

Honestly, that emperor usually kept at the rocks when it wasnt feeding time. Slowly, graciously moving from rock to rock.

Feeding time... water fight!

Powder blue would just zoom from one end to the next. Really stressed me out.

Yuh, im tired of zoom fish.

I hear that . It’s a reason my fav fish in the tank are the 2 wrasses and Foxface. Good looking and don’t act like a bipolar idiot having a manic phase.

Look at this gorgeous fella, I’ve left him for a week but reserved him as he is stunning. The yellow is almost orange!

Gorgeous fish- my mag, “Big Momma” is my favorite fish in my tank

Watching my clown tang zoom in circles is giving me heart flutters. "Dude chill, there's enough food for all of you"

I'd like a foxy again. I already have one coral nipper. 2 is going to be over whelming

Crazy part of this is , my clowns are mostly the most peaceable of my bunch

My clownfish is great, clown tang is psycho.

Maybe it’s a “maroon” clown tang

Exactly!
It’s why this tank will be wrasses, angels and foxes. They’re just so calming and not wanting to just make a tank become a whirlpool.

 

[steveschuerger]

These two are full of personality as well

 

[i cant think]

Look at this adorable girl! She’s tiny and only just 1 inch if that.

 

[i cant think]

I did a water test on both tanks to see what the parameters were like and with the green flag, we now have an elegance in this tank!

 

[i cant think]

We also have…

The dirties!! They’re early and hopefully we can get through it fairly fast as well

 

[i cant think]

Unfortunately yesterday we also lost the clownfish (another reason I wanted to test everything). I do want another pair in the future but I probably won’t get Percula or Occelaris again and instead something more unusual like the Skunks or Oman Clowns.

Hows all the other fish holding up?
