Fish for Sale

My tank re-start is almost ready, I just have a few fish to move on to new homes, and I'm ready to get going.

First up a 5-6" hippo tang. No good pics, but there are a few in my gallery. He's got some good gouges/scratches on his side from weaseling into sleeping spots, and abuse from my clowns.
35$

3 Lyretail Anthia's (1 male, 2 female) 60$
http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p....cfm?pCatId=54

Pair of mated Blue stripe pipe fish. I would like these fish to go to an experienced reef keeper, with a lot of live rock, and no dragonets/mandarin gobies. They compete for the same type of food. A few people had offered to keep the pipes for me, or buy them-but I would like to be sure they go to someone set up the right way. 60$

http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...pcatid=281&N=0

There may have been some people who had asked for these fish when they came over for coral a few weeks back. I'm sorry, but I can't remember to be honest. If someone reminds me, I'll honor that first. And thanks for looking!

Patrick

Are the lyretails aggressive? Do you feed them multiple times a day (if so, what and how much)? Any disease issues I should be aware of? I am interested in them if these answers work. Let me know. PM is fine.
Also, I am planning to go to the swap Saturday - if this works out I could get them from you there.

The male keeps the females in line. It looks like aggression, but I have yet to see any visible damage on any of the females. If he doesn't exert his dominance they will morph into males. If you have other more peaceful Anthias like threadfins or bartletts, I would not add them. They are not aggressive towards any of the other fish I have had in the tank. They are healthy, I've had them for well over a year. I feed flake mostly now, only once a day for the last few months. I have fed up to 2-3 times a day, Rods Food, my own blender mush, baby brine, and they seem to really like Cyclop-Eeze.

Dave, your set up sounds perfect. 150 gal fuge will keep these guys fed well. I tired to reply, but your PM box is full.

Derrick, there is 1 person who asked about the tang last night, and he has not been online as of today. I will let you know asap.

Hello Nina. I thought you just wanted to hold them for me? Jeni(pufferpunk) had wanted to buy them also, but she's only got a 90, with a mandarin. I'd really like these guys to go to a large tank, with a big fuge and no competition. Dave has the perfect set up-150 gallon fuge?!?! They'll be fed well

Wrassemeister, are you talking about the one in my gallery? He went carpet surfing a while back, sorry.
