iyachtuxivms Lagoon

[iyachtuxivm]

So I was going for a fuge/seagrass tank with this but after a bad experiance with ummm..... we will call it poor shipping of delicate marine plants I am going this route instead. I didnt find a great deal of info as for plants in a lagoon but in mine I have some monticaps, zoos, algae of all sorts, mangroves and a lobo. For fish I have a Antennarius maculatus or wartskin angler. Inverts consist of a few cerith snails a nerite snail a few nassarius a trochus and a fighting conch. I was thinking of adding a dursa clam but we shall see. My seahare may make cameo appearances off and on. So after most of the tank has been cleaned of dead/dying seagrass and other "poorly shipped" macros this is where I am at. Still needs a good vaccum or two.

Dude I was wondering where the angler was, kept looking at all the pics, finally found it..... I thought that was a rock the 1st 15 times LOL

Yeah is he really good at camo or do I just suck at taking pics. lol

Ok so was taking pics and cleaning the tank (not in that order) I wanted to get some better FT shots and check this out. Hes so funny such a little personality or was he just hungry.

Wow he is hard to spot.... but I think I finally found him... bottom of tank in the far left corner looks like he is laying on an angle almost?? Your starting to make me want to get a smaller species tank for one of these little guys! Wife would either kill me or make me get rid of the big one tho probably so I must live through more pics of yours for now :)

Yeah he is kinda hard to spot. But it was funny I was cleaning the glass and he hangs out in the back of the tank as I was cleaning I saw him stomping down from the back. I took a couple pics and decided to review what I had took and came across that. He was watching me from around those barnacles, I looked up and he was still doing it. He was just peeking out, very funny. He ate 3 sand eels right after that didnt even need me to wiggle them around.

Can you keep more than one?

[Poseidon]

He really colored up nice Jamie! What a cool addition. ;)

Can you keep more than one?

Yes from what I have read you can as long as they are close in size. They usually get along with anything they cant eat, unless it picks on them.


He really colored up nice Jamie! What a cool addition. ;)
Yes he has! Thanks I love him hope I can get some red in there too. Would love to see him red and white or even grey and white.
