fish pics

here are some of my fish.

Those are some great looking fish cwhip

What is the second fish called? It has some really amazing colors.

the 1st pic is
my male Lyretail Anthias
pic 2 and 3
are female Lyretail Anthias
4. is Midas Blenny
5. well lol its a clown:)
6. yellow bellied Hippo Tang.
the Anthias are very pretty fish they are even more colorful in person, they are also very picky eaters and water quality has to be A+ but I love them anyway:)

Thanks, if I ever get into SW i'll keep those guys in mind!

the flash makes their eyes black but there actually electric blue.

I'll tell ya it is fish like those that really make me like SW

make the switch its not that hard and if you look for deals it dosen't have to be expensive either. a friend of mine just got his 1st tank last weekend on CL its a 72 gallon reef ready half circle with the light, skimmer, powerheads sump and even live rock for 300.00 bucks.

Nice pics and beautiful fish!

boo hoo, i'm so jealous. i want a nemo tank soooooo bad but i really just don't have the guts to try it yet since i'm still so new to the fish keeping. you have some very pretty fish!

Beautiful fishes ! My first SW tank was a 29 gallon Bio-cube complete with liverock , macro algae , blue tang ,and various corals , for $150 from CL a few years ago. I now have a 75g reef tank also !

eek a Tang in a 29 gallon? I hope you provided a larger home for him:)

great looking fish, I'm slowly but surely getting the stuff to go SW, got a skimmer from mike205 the other day (guy at lfs says it's very old, but will do the trick) he also said that my skimmer could also function as a filter, if i out the media in it... and well, idk if this true, but he said that and a 50-60 gal rated HOB filter should be sufficient for a fish and invert only SW set up. I just want more opinions

Depends on what size tank you are setting up, I look for a skimmer rated atleast twice the water volume. lets say I am setting up a 90 gallon tank I would look for a skimmer rated for 180+. a FOWLR is easier to maintain because the water quality doesn't need to be as precise. just becareful using any type of media, it can easily become nitrate factory.

i think he said it's rater for up to a 150, so it'll do for a 55 i guess lol
