Little update....my two fish are doing fine, they are really starting to fight, I assume they are deciding who is who. I'm really wanting to transfer them to my 75, but not sure. Talked with Rod and he said many people put them in thier 180's and they do just fine, so we will see.

Me too

Hello. I got suckered by these cute babies, so much personality!
I also bought a picasso pair online and can't wait. These are currently in my seahorse nursery tank.
So what did I do? I'm setting up 2 nanos just for them, flanking the sliding glass doors to the deck. *sigh* I'm so dead.

Enjoy!






For size reference, there is a power strip behind the tank. I forgot to ask how old they were:

They are TOO cute. So robust!

Getting them into my tank didn't phase them one bit. They were a little nervous for a few moments, but the right away came up to the glass to follow me around doing their hungry dance. (as how I interpret it)

I really look forward to watching them grow up. I'm no afficionado, so I don't have the background knowledge to even guess how they will develop. How fun!

Thanks flaco, I'm local to Rod's so there was no shipping. Yes, prices differ based on color and age I believe. Mine are so small, and he charged accordingly.
I think he has very very young babies just born a few days ago(?) when I was there. There were some that started on their third stripe too, which I'm assuming are the oldest that he has so far.

Sugartooth your fish look to be at least 2 months old but i would guess more like 3, some of his with 3 stipes starting could be up to 9 months old.

Does Rod still sell fish? I sent him an email a few days ago. No response. I dont want to seem like an ***, but how long should I wait to send another one?

He's probably busy getting ready for christmas. Give him a call, he's always easier to get ahold of over the phone & he has great customer service.

Well I figure I'll wait until after Christmas to talk to him. I want to get some, but I know I'm gonna hate the shipping quote.
