It's awesome when you can find "larger" fish being sold small, gives you much more time before outgrowing tank.

Now all we need is a pic to see how cute he/she actually is.

will catch a pic once he stops hiding lol the ones in the bag didnt turnout so well the bag was reflecting my led's like a mirror. He was yellow till i netted him then he got pissed and went camo on me

yay was at living aquariums and got me a little 2" baby one spot foxface... i couldnt help myself the little guy was so tiny and cute i had to bring him home.... hopefully if the damsels try picking on him they get a face full of spikes :) they had a bunch of 1.5" blue tangs for $40 and desjardini tangs for $90
that is awesome from the "tang queen"

yay im starting to see a black spot darken near the tail. i cant believe how quick they develop it he is still so tiny but at least now he is a lil plump. so far he loves any algae he can find but turns crackhead when baby brine are added lmao. he has also recently discovered mysis shrimp but is weary of them. he takes a bite and spits it out a couple times before he will eat it but i truly believe he is just playing with his food :)

knowing how sensitive anemones are i gave him a gradual 3 hr drip then had to gently coax him off since the bugger stuck to the bag. i put him on a secluded rock in an eddy current so food blows to him and before i could grab the cauldron he was already hitched tight put the cauldron on for a couple hours but guees he loves it he is so deeply footed he covers the top of the rock :) went down to check again after a bit make sure hes not wandering and caught this :D :D :D

so still no sign of my baby foxface so i went back to la and bought 2 this time :) and they are watching each others back from the reef roid crew and the back corner damsel gang lmao.

after dropping the boy off a school for his first day back i ventured to aquariums by design and finally got me a premium picasso. ive wanted one of these for 2 years now but couldnt find a pattern i liked (im picky) so here he is...
