I also love my Hippo tang. But this is about a tang in a school of a thousand, in Costa Rico on a Tuesday in October. :)

Why I find Tangs Boring. Many fish such as copperband butterflies, puffers some wrasses etc. have a definite personality and if you look close you can see it in their actions and eyes. Yes their eyes have expressions, not like Angelina Jolie but it's there. :cool: Tangs, being schooling fish...

Today my wife is going out with her friends for her Birthday. Maybe I will diatom filter my gravel and remove some cyano. Or go to a bar and get drop dead drunk. No, I think I will diatom filter my tank and remove some Cyano. :cool:

I may. My last one, in this picture lived about 5 years which is a complete failure. Where I used to live I could collect a sponge on floating docks that my idol would practically jump out of the water for. It doesn't grow where I live now and that was my major food. If I can find it growing...

I think Copperbands are a little more delicate than most fish but I also think some of that has to do with quarantine. Some fish, like copperband butterflies, moorish Idols, mandarins, and some others do not take well to quarantine unless you can do it in a large well decorated tank filled with...

She lived a good, long life. :biggrin:

My Copperband finally passed away peacefully. And she had the courtesy to die stuck to a powerhead near the front of the tank so it was simple to remove her and she didn't become bristleworm food. No Ich, velvet, dropsy, bacteria , no nothing. Just old age, or maybe Alzheimers If she was...

I know, thats why I sold the thing. But I made more money with that than I ever made in my life. :cool:

It used to snow in those days. After that picture, I put 4 big tires on with 4 chains. :cool:

What stories? :cool: I did, but I lost the list. :confused: Not to long ago I went to a wedding and I found a comb in the pocket of my suit. It must have been an old suit because I haven't had hair since the 70s.

I always wanted a flashlight fish. I will never be able to get a picture of that fish. , I once had a Cusk eel which is a bright yellow eel looking thing for 18 years. I never saw that entire fish except like this fish at night with a flash light. I killed it by accident when I removed some...

I am not sure of the time frame but about 2 or 3 years ago I bought a pair of Gecko Gobies...

Eholceker, thank you, but No matter what it is, he misses it even if it is stuck to the glass.I put clams and worms all over the place. He sees off to the side so he won't and cant eat it. I don't use Masstick because although that is probably a great food, I rather go with a natural food like...

It's not that he doesn't want to eat and live worms are his favorite food. He can't eat because his eyes are focusing a little off so he tries to bite the food but he always misses. As you know a copperband is not the type of fish that you can just pick up and force feed like you could with a...

Copperband is still with me even though she has not eaten in almost two months. Healthy, non drugged fish can live a very long time. The lack of food is showing in her fins and scales as she doesn't have that velvety smooth skin and perfect fins that a healthy fish should have. Her eyes are...

My first post on some forums was in 2011: I was on other forums, when they invented forums. In 14 months my reef will be 50 years old. I wonder if in another 10 years I will still be on here saying it is 60 years old. :cool: Probably not, as I am already a Geezer and in 10 years I will be a...

Some kind of black, 2" long thing that I never seen before. I think he said it was an anthius but doesn't look like one. If it comes out from wherever he is, I will try and get a picture. I also got a citron goby, a Queen Anthius and I totally forgot what the other thing is. Let me lookfor it...

I just came back from my knee Doctor. Kevorkian. My knee surgery is postponed for at least 6 months so now we can go to a Valentines party. That is not the reason we cancelled it though. It seems that even though the last surgery didn't work, a new one may make it worse due to neuroma. I...

One of my 30 year old powerheads croaked last night so my skimmer and algae scrubber was dry. No water was going into the reverse UG filter either. I took the thing apart and repaired it with some shrink tubing which is the repair they need every 30 years. :cool: I think this was made in...

Mark, I never bought livestock online as I was always surrounded by LFSs and they had a selection. I also used to be able to tell them to get me something. Now, years later, I moved and am no longer near those places and the one I am near, there are all new people and don't know anything or...
