They can change shades depending on mood. are you sure everything else was the same?

tiburone9162003 · #16 12/05/2006, 01:37 AM

yep..

Unarce · #17 12/05/2006, 01:38 AM

I see it now...for some reason, the pic in your 2nd post wouldn't come up for me earlier, but Mr. Wandell pointed it out for me.

Blue Spot Jawfish (Opistognathus rosenblatti)

tiburone9162003 · #18 12/05/2006, 01:42 AM

Unarce · #19 12/05/2006, 01:57 AM

That's funny! The red lip blenny has no green, and the jawfish is what's pictured in your 2nd post

Dude, You are SO far from getting fish........forget about them for at least a month after you set that new tank up..........you will have a CYCLE to deal with first.....then hermits and snails a few weeks later.....after all the ammonia and you have lowered the Nitrates with water changes.....then start looking for fish. Then I suggest a nice hardy fish such as a Nemo if you are looking to get one, then add 1 fish per 5gals slowly.

Please dont follow this part of the advice. Accourding to that theory a porcupine puffer,tang, and a trigger could all go into my 20 and I would still have room for another fish.

A better rule of thumb would to be research a fish extensively (I.e. Size of fish both juvi and adult, minimmum tank size requirement for a nice long life, feeding behavior, fish compatiblity, etc, etc) Then if it is compatible with what you have make the purchase and Quarantine then add to your tank. There are tons of us who will help you but not many who will do the work for you.

That was a typo, thanks for catching that.....1" of fish per 5 gals.

Point meaning, your tank should not look like the holding tanks at the LFS, I can see how someone new could think this would be normal. And two, as I have told him before, these tanks are dynamic puzzles where every move needs to be considered, and weighed against future needs/wants of the tank.

That blue-spot jawfish is pretty. If only I had a DSB and a hundred dollar tuck away in my paypal account.

tiburone9162003 · #24 12/05/2006, 09:55 AM

yea sacramentodots,i still need to do all that

i was just asking for the name of that fish that i like...

xia · #25 12/05/2006, 03:35 PM

It's gotta be the sea grass wrasse. Was it near the front right of the store, in a tank with the zoos? It's got really odd behavior, a totally cool fish.
