It was a good road trip

**charlie** · 04-10-2007, 10:56 AM

I happened to acquire a few new things for my 300 FOWLR (

) over at a shop in Spokane this last weekend.

a couple of black ocellaris clowns:

juv. Imperator:

juv. Blueface:

a smallish Bristletooth tang:

And Mike, this ones for you

:

All are eating well and picking at the LR, and in general, really enjoying life. Hope you enjoy.

Nice selections, Charlie.

Oh, nice pictures,too...

**charlie** · 04-10-2007, 11:39 AM

Thanx Gene, I have never owned the Ocellaris species before, and those 2 are just way to cute, I couldn't resist. I actually put them in my 80. They haven't even looked at either of the RBTA. I haven't had a chance to really watch them and see where they are spending the nite, probably in the hammer

SOO jelous!!!!

**Poseidon** · 04-10-2007, 06:19 PM

Thanks Charlie! I hope that Copperband does well for you!

It looks like you did have a nice trip out there, with those angels, it looks like your tank is going to stay a FOWLR for a while huh?

**charlie** · 04-10-2007, 06:23 PM

Yeah, it is gonna stay that way. I have another tank in the works, got that drilled this weekend. Just a basement project away from getting it going.
The Copperband, is doing well so far, he was eating well at the shop, and has continued here. I would love for this one to do well.

Wow charlie those fish are very pretty time to head to the pet store and order me blueface i have been wanting one for some time now.

**charlie** · 04-11-2007, 12:40 AM

Hold off on that choice if you want corals!!!

Frodo · 04-11-2007, 01:06 AM

damn kinda skipped that part when i was reading about them....oh well i guess the coral beauty will have to do.

**charlie** · 04-11-2007, 08:12 AM

All angels are a certified gamble when putting them in a reef tank, hope you get a "nice" one.

***Reefland*** · 04-11-2007, 10:47 AM

I think you'll really enjoy the black Ocellaris. We always loved ours. As they mature, the brown/orange coloration they have now will turn completely black. The eventual female will be totally black, and the remaining male may keep a slight bit of orange arounds his mouth, but that will be it.

**charlie** · 04-11-2007, 10:50 AM

Hey Scott, thanx for the heads up on the coloration changes, now the only problem will be trying to remember what you said. I already like the fact that they are always active!!!

**charlie** · 04-11-2007, 10:52 AM

Did yours ever breed?

Yeah, that's easy for you to say, try doing that with 300 lbs. of live rock.

To be honest, I have never had a dwarf angel that picked at any of my corals, guess I have been really lucky.

**Poseidon** · 04-11-2007, 11:56 AM

These guys (or gals in this case) do well in a Reef, they are plankton feeders, but really like Spectrum pellets!

**charlie** · 04-11-2007, 12:06 PM

What do you have there Mike? I suppose I could get my books out, but asking is easier.
