Haiz... I having the same dilemma. I wonder if i should put my tomato clown and boxer shrimp in my main tank.. sentimental reasons make me unwilling to sell/give away these 2.... However, i also worry my tomato clown may bully my small black osci (though they unlikely to go near the BTA as not natural host).

in the aquarium, natural hosts are all thrown back to the sea. it does not really apply.... as long as there is something "hostable", the possibility is there. have seen tomato clowns hosting every kind of anemones, even euphyllias/cataphyllias

Actually, I just asked Shan last Sun..he said I can have it for free if I can catch it! It has been with him for 5 years!

Wow... Ask his worker to catch for me next time...

[TayHongSiang]

Wow... Ask his worker to catch for me next time...

i think its quite impossible to catch it w/o damaging to the current rock works and corals...wahahahaha...though fat boy may be a slow swimmer, but there's a lot of places it can hide.

Ask Shan to tear down the rock work...

my growing rics corner. the green 1 is a new resident here to join my old pinkish/orange one will slowly build this up. take my time haha. not really my cup of tea on its own, but they look very nice when grown in a little cluster IMO. slowly collect and make the base of that rock a little ric garden. taking my time on this.. expensive little corals. buying them 1 by 1 instead of a few at 1 go.

trying this for the 2nd time. Macropharngodon choati. big and very fat. hopefully it will be here to stay. swimming around for about an hour after introduction, then went into the sand.

thanks greencloud for reserving this 1 for me.

[albinosage]

Wow so that's what you went LCK for... that's a fat choati! Your tank is getting nicer each time i see it!

Nice chaoti ....

How big is the smallest one there?

Nice chaoti ....

this was the smallest one there as of today, rest are 3 inches and above. the other smaller ones gone already. this fish is very very difficult.. won't want to try one unless you have a very stable tank, good pod population to sustain it until it starts feeding, a fairly reasonably large tank and a suitable sand bed for it..

success rate is low. my previous 1 was feeding very well but died after awhile too.

this current 1 just ate 1 mysis shrimp just now.. a good sign but too soon to celebrate haha

my very very fat mandarin fish eating pellets from a betta box this is my very first fish i ever bought, together with a pair of clowns and a pair of cardinals. so far, the only 1 i have left that is still with me. extreme sentimental value and i will never sell it even for $200 no sign of a sunken stomach

gd thing u did not sell it off, no price is good enough for this lil' fella.

[yikai]

gd thing u did not sell it off, no price is good enough for this lil' fella.

u mean BIG fella haha. yah no price is good enough for it. it feeds pellets from a tray, bottle, rocks, sand, and even in betta box. like a pet dog. very tamed. and he makes clicking sounds when he eats sometimes. quite cool

Blue cespitularia in all it's blue-ness. how glorious! here's one taken with flash at night. it's getting blue-er since the day i got it. getting comfortable now haha. the polyps are opening up and are very feathery.

[yikai]

ths 2 glowing blue blotches are actually how blue they are when shined with a little torch at night. they are not so blue in the day, but is very blue when out of the water and seen at night under white lighting.

hoping it will look like this 1 day.
