Foolish Frag Tank Fish

[o2manyfish]

Hey Folks,

Finally got motivated to take some photos that I was proud of. Over the past several months, fish just keep falling into my frag tank. All of a sudden this past weekend I was watching the frag tank while doing some yard work and thought -- Geez I am NUTZ!!!

Lil Bit More

The Chyrsurus has been in the tank for about 5 months. This fish was a rescue, that came missing a pectoral fin, and had a huge bite out of it's dorsal that looked like a shark bit it.

The large goldflake was a rescue that I got with a chunk out of the left side of it about the size of a silver dollar. The scales and skin were gone and you could see the red meat of the lil fish.

The purple tangs were rescues, with excessive lateral line and hole in the head issues.

The fish in this tank include

(1) Chrysurus Angel
(2) Gold Flake Angels
(2) Red Sea Blonde Naso's
(2) Solomon True Percs
(2) Jumbo Mandarins
(3) Med/Sml Purple tangs
(1) banded pipefish


This tank is not fed. Perhaps every 6 weeks I throw a lil food in. The fish are forced to feed off the live rock, and frag rack.

The tank has zoos, clams, xenia and SPS - And these fish are all very well behaved.

Nikki,

It's been a depressing couple of months waiting for things to stop dying, then for things to turn back around. Had to wait till things started looking better before I was comfortable sharing.


Elmo,

There is actually a pair of true percs in that frag tank, another pair in the sump underneath the tank, and another pair in the display tank --- And yet I have never had any lay eggs.




Ted,

I actually found an imperator and passer angel that might need some TLC. Will possibly pick them up later this week.
