Sucess - Live Hawaiian Souvenirs - 6 new fish

2 types of tangs (one endemic to Hawaii)
3 types of wrasse all endmic
and an endemic angel

 

So a Flame and a Potter's leopard (sensitive little guys), and... I can think of a few small interesting Coris which are Hawaiian endemic, but are almost never collected, which are suitable for a reef. Other wrasse option are Red Tailed Tamarins (or Psych heads) or Hawaiian cleaners (oh fingers crossed it's not this one)...

How'd I do?

 

OH well! Maybe you'll 'slurp 'em up' next time!

Happy Reefing

 

Unfortuantely no Flames were in stock.
Cleaner wrasses of any kind are really not suitable for home tanks.

Corris, though I like them get a bit too big.

You are correct on the Potter's & Tamarin.

 

Yeah I slipped and used the slurp gun as a cane to keep from slipping and lost the part that made it a giant syringe so.....
it was a homemade model.....I'll buy onein clear plexi for next trip so they don't see it comming...hehehehe

I have a homeade slurp gun we made from plans on some website and it really doesn't work. My manufactured one works incredibly well but, you cannot catch anything over 3" or so.

 

Mine seemes like it was working...sucked up sand and rubble, the plans were also from the internet.

Godd to know the commercially made ones work very well, and small fish are fine...they'll grow and the young are more adaptable.

 

I want pics LOL ;D

 

+1 Me too!!! ;D
