A new week. Can I get the ball rolling after a visit to CF to check out their LS earlier this evening?

Usual stuff - the mini BTs, Blue Damsels, Athias etc are still there. Won't dwell on the usual stuff we see, those that caught my eye included:

Lots of baby Tomato clowns.

A tankful of Aussie tank-bred Black Oceallaris babies bloody nice! Already feeding on pellets, very much like the ones bred by one of the guys in the forum. Almost walked away with a pair but told myself to check back in another week's time - they look so vulnerable ...

A few very nice Copperband Butterflies.

Some pretty fierce Black Tangs who snap against their boxes.

And then I saw 2 dark maroon / white striped fishes which look something like:

th-cat-33-grunts.jpg

Wasn't sure if they were Angelfishes or what, I can only guess. Anybody? Should've snapped a shot. They look pretty and were quite aggressive too, knocking against the divider between them hahah.

Pardon the crappy photo quality from my iPhone, but I also saw this:

Tang?

And what I think might be 3 pieces of White Snow Clowns ...

Anyone?

A trip to CF is always an eye-opener for me. :eyeblur: They seem to have less-often seen fishes there.

Bro the second fish is a Balistoides conspicillum, Clown Triggerfish. Haha thanks for checking CF out! Will be heading down there tomorrow

Ah ... thanks for the ID dude, save me the trouble of going through the whole of LiveAquaria.com ahahahah!

Nice unique looking fella, the Clown Triggerfish.

ID more of the fishies you see at CF for us here k? I'm still super noob at IDing LS so far heheheh.

Also, check on the Black Ocellaris babies and let me know their condition trw - I'm torn between trying to raise 2 blackie babies or just go for the paired up True Percs from Paupa New Guinea :look:

first picture is a Jackknife Fish (Equetus lanceolatus)

second picture is a Clown Triggerfish Balistoides conspicillum

3rd picture is a juvenile bicolour parrotfish

It never fails to amaze me how you guys are able to identify fishes almost effortlessly :shock:

I am still learning, but often mix similar-looking species up.

How do you guys do it? :bow:

Was quoted around the region of 3 red notes for each of the tiny, trembling little blackies. Around the same going rate for the ones I saw at Iwarna over the weekend.

Told CF auntie that I will be back over the weekend - prob 13 Dec (Sat) with the guys in the West for the reefers meetup to check on the babies and decide whether to take them or the Percs.

She said that there're about 100+ of em so unless there is an export order, the little guys should still be around come this weekend. Hopefully! :angel:

Were you the kind gentleman who gave me and my friend some good advice on feeding the SuperSuns that Sunday evening? :)

No problem, just thought I'd give you guys a heads up since I was there.

Yes my sentiments exactly. They look so tiny, but most look healthy and auntie demonstrated them feeding on pellets. A few casualties on the tank bed though - you can tell the weaker ones from the rest, their colors seem to be much much paler round their dorsal fins. But seeing these tiny tots trembling aiyoh I was a little apprehensive, unsure if they can survive in my tank. Nevertheless, it's a good challenge to raise them lah. See how this weekend.

Check on them when you're there and let us know yeah?

or maybe close to more than that

those are fantastic quality.

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.
