really loving that tank. always wanted to setup a tang community but price, availability of species, etc. always held me back. keep the updates coming, sure do love some tangs myself. almost always have at least a shellie lying around somewhere

Hey Anthraxx,

I finally got some multifaciatus shellies from Aron (Angelman). You always said they would be fun...WOW, they really are...!!!

I have them in a Fluval Edge with plumbong elbows for ''shells''. They have substrate built up to 1/2 the depth of the tank walls in 3 corners. I'm watching them from across the room now. They are a total hoot! These are just juvies too....3 large ones at 3/4 inch and the rest are 1/2 - 5/8''!

They look very happy and quite a nice mix in there too. Even the Vics seem to be having a good time in the mix. Nicely done.

They seem so calm and peaceful. Very nice.

Generally a very happy Tank, I have to rotate the fronts through. When they get over 7 inches or so they realize that cyps are a food source and a slaughter ensues .Otherwise there is almost no violence past mild squabbbles over a choice cave. I change up the deco if someone gets too nice a territory and I pull all the holding females and strip them, as fry under an inch do poorly with the calvus and fronts. Team Umi zoomi is on so I am off to stare at the tanks till it is over, I hate childrens TV.

Nice Ron, glad to hear your liking them. if you need some shells i have TONS of extras. be happy to let u get a bunch. o also get urself some chop sticks (super fun to stick em in there and watch em go nuts)

[fishloverRon]

l'll take you up on the shells pal. Can I meet you some afternoon when you're on you way home from work at the Costco lot at the 142B exit at Federal Way? Just let me know how much you want for them.
Thanks,
Ron
