Agreed lol! A Coris Gaimard full grown full blown male would look lovely!
I’ve never been but I’ve always wanted to go!
Well they’ve both grown significantly and look fat and healthy mostly. The tank is roughly figure 8 shaped but for some reason the bigger one just swims circles in one end and gets some atrophy therefor. It also has a slightly damaged dorsal fin.
I’d love to see them myself, but it’s like the Tang police problem just on a larger scale as they grow older and larger. I mean a 45 foot long animal needs lost a of swimming space, let alone two or more. Some things should be left where they came from.
True
Makes me sad. It’s like the idiots that have tried to keep Great Whites. None has survived longer than a few days/week if I remember.
Yep
You’ve got me there. I’m fully on the wrasse train now. Though with my complement of fish I’m probably overstocked in my 60 gallon . 2 ocellaris clowns , 2 Bangaii that I keep partly cause my wife likes the, orange spot blenny, spotted mandarin, and of course the wrasses - Red Velvet female that hasn’t started transitioning (yet), Melanurus that looks like it’s just starting to transition, and a juvie Black Leopard.
Ooh I love the red velvet and everytime I see a black leopard I love them a little more.
They can but at the end of the day per se, they’ll have to deal with the consequences in some form for keeping such a large and delicate animal. As I’ve said I’d still love to see them, but that’s neither here nor there. I was a volunteer worker at the New England Aquariums education dept. for several years as a late teen. They did a pretty good job of maintaining their animals but they still could have issues. In retrospect looking back, they didn’t have enough wrasses. It was where I learned to love Mandarin Dragonets though.
What!?
An actual one of these!?
I hope they know what they are doing, which idk how much they know what their doing…l mean, they can’t free the whale sharks because they have been too domesticated, transferring an animal(s) that size and sensitivity is near impossible especially if sent to another country, and what funds or place do they have to create something more than double the size of the place they are now?
I saw some pics. Everyday I'm reminded my aquarium is a prison.
Yeah I’d say the tiger is like 8-10ft. It is very pretty despite its problems. I’m glad they realized that the shark cage was stressing it out.What!?
Thats my favorite shark! These guys get even longer than a great white! Not as big but still longer!
Unfortunately this is technically what our reefs or Fowlrs are, same thing with keeping birds, yea I try and do my very best and give them the most amount of things and space, but they are still in a cage at the end of the day…..but this is just one certain point of view.…we see the better side
Well what do they expect lol
I’m wondering how long it’s going to take to break the animal, since I’m guessing it is a wild rescue?
I used to keep birds, they were out of cage while we were home and awake. Cage was meant for bedtime, or when we were gone. They understood as funny as that is. I have no experience with anyhing bigger than a sun conure and quaker parrot. Would have loved a macaw. But those beaks scared me.Unfortunately this is technically what our reefs or Fowlrs are, same thing with keeping birds, yea I try and do my very best and give them the most amount of things and space, but they are still in a cage at the end of the day…..but this is just one certain point of view.…we see the better side
Now all they need to do is get more wrasse so you'll enjoy the tour and not notice the bickering tangs.
Honestly it still looks tiny in the tank. It’s a really big tank. Not the ocean voyager but it’s 100ft long I believe. These photos are both from there. And as I said it’s apparently doing a lot better than a couple months ago.
