hi chamty,

nice reef setting you have there.

but I find that your nano is too small or too 'short' for your seahorse. its rather torturing to see them in a small environment I felt.

regards

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Hi Lemon

ya.. how time flies!

Not sure what Fairy wrasse species that is.. Bought from RB many months ago.. change colour from bright red to 'dirty' blackish with yellow fins!

The blue stuff on the right hand side is some kind of 'pest' liver sponge I think..
