    barney!!lol

    how about a gay purple dinosaur swimming in your tank,

    you will gain popularity votes..

    She only knows nemo. so every single fish is nemo to her ;)

    shes into penguins though. thanks to happy feet.

    flubberina's tank? hehe.. i saw it recently..

    i think the construction of it giving her some problem so now the tank is very very ''spacious'' as shes still trying to fix the problem.

    you all will never believe thats flub's tank...

    So many fishes, so little space.

    If you are choosing fishes for ur fowlr tank, my advise will be get those rare to come by type since u have limited space...

    my preference will still b angels and butterfly....

    i am a fan of angels too. in fact, find some more aggressive than triggers.

    was successful with emperor, french, majestic, blue-face, lemonpeel in the same tank, together with triggers :P

    I love flame but strangely was never successful with them.

    butterfly will be difficult for me to maintain.

    now i thinking triggers first or angels, before the lone damsel in my tank gets too bold.

    Finally found the time to 'spruce up' my neglected FOWLR after nearly 2 years hiatus.

    I am dreaming of angels and triggers again...

    so many choices.. so small a tank...

    next.. to nag at better half to 'redo' his tank...

    Ask him to abandon his games and come back to reefing.  Also time to groom the next generation of reefers.

    I've restarted mine too so what is he waiting for? :)

    You've restarted too ! :D

    GREAT.

    I was actually thinking of just a damsel tank.

    Went to LFS and the sight of the triggers, angels and many familiar fishes whose name I can't recall then threw my plan out of the windows.

    Time to do my ''research and reading'' again.

    He has not groom the next generation.

    Gen 2 only knows NEMO. period.

    Bet Anthias can rattle off names of all the fishes and corals in LFS :)

    used to have a tri-color lorri from papua new guinea.

    had it for abot 10yrs! wonderful pet. behaves like one of the member of the family. we dont chain it so it hopped and 'flew' around the house. great personality but parraots are noisy n messy pets.

    flubberina,

    thanks for the yummy treat... we should do this again and again and again..

    though i not very much into reefing. (corals too chim n ex for me), fishes still can manage... but had always enjoy the sharing culture that SRC HAD.... and reefers were more humble and friendly. oh well... i rant on. :pinch:

    i hear triggers! :D

    i see triggers! :yeah:

    DA,

    nice tank and even nicer triggers...

    waiting for the next shipment of black triggers.

    BH,

    i had blue chin and niger in same tank. they are ok. but then again, each trig had their own personality. so hard to predict.

    blue chin are very shy triggers. n if want to buy, buy the male as only male have the blue sheen.

    pinktail trigger (another beauty) also considered reef safe but the one i had abit siao...

    Harlequin Tusk

    sure its eating already in the lfs, otherwise u need to train it, buy a plastic tank those with handle and drill hole for water circulation. then attach suckers on it and attach to the main tank( might looks ugly).

    Firstly, it help new fish to stable down rather then attack by other fishes and it also prevent stress.

    Secondly, u can observe whether how well they are eating and their progress.

    Lastly, you will observe other fishes those aggressive one trying to attack it but they will be protected by the plastic tank and soon when they are stable and eating they will be ready to introduce into the main tank.

    Let me ask u a question.

    Have u ever introduce new fishes into the tank and see your newly purchase being attack by other causing u heartache? Reason, they are already stress and introduce to the tank and being attack or disturb by your old fishes stress + stress = ??? However at least those in the plastic tank which ready accepted food or even from your hand and very stable, even they are attack once u introduce them to the main tank, it wont be as stessful as you introduce them immediately.

    Give a try.

    some sharing:

    use to use the container method but realise that it sometimes stresses the fish more as they feel '######' and uncovered! so if possible, add some shelter for your quarantine fish. put some rocks etc in the plastic container (esp if its transparent). this will give the new fish a chance to know the other fish yet offer it the security of a hiding place. or i will use plastic basket (colored but with lots of hole) to contain the new fish.

    tusk are actually very shy n gentle creatures n loves to hide. good to feed it shellfish with shell intact to 'weather' its 'tusk'. marketprawns, mussels, clams are good food. so are squid..
