And a beauty it is

[marxsman]

I have another digital camera on order, so it will get better from here and I'll figure out how to post them so they will blow up next time. stupid me

[Michelle]

Make sure and post some up when you get the new camera, we are still learning new things with ours too, we didn't get a very expensive one, but it does the trick for now, hopefully in the near future we can get a nice one and post some incredible pictures on here like Zhenya (Gene) and some of these other great posters of pictures

HI Marxsman! Nice tank, but i have a question. How does your DRAGON WRASSE do in a reef tank. I've been told they are a NO/NO!?
Sorry for the stupid question.

Thanks,

Martin

Hey Martin,

How can you tell it's a Dragon wrasse? For some reason the pics load in the size of my pinky nail when I click on them. I can't see anything as I am pretty much blind as a bat, much less what species fish it is or what the tank looks like really.
Is it only me that can't see them full size?

That's all I can see too, very small pictures.

yeah, I just checked their size and it's 104 by 104 pixels, pretty much avatar size.

Marxman, can you edit your pics and post some larger sized ones so we old folk can see them too.

GENE,GENE,GENE,

I don't know how old you are but, I could see them just fine. a little grainy. they came up on my computer 400x600. May be I have a SUPER COMPUTER or one that not OLD!

Oh, I'm pretty old, Martin. If you right click on those images and select properties it will show you that the pics are 104x104 pixels.
I just want to see those pictures, darn it.

Hey guys,

I apologize for the Pictures, but it is a Dragon Wrasse. I get better photos when the camera comes in.
but.... the wrasse does do well in my tank. He does not disrupt the corals. He does dig hole in the sand but thats not a big deal in my tank. He also keeps the pesty brisstle worms at bay. (he loves to eat them). He does a better job at cleaning the gravel and sand then little crabs and snails.

Ditto on what he said, against my better judgement I got a dragon wrasse about 2 months ago and he's a model reef citizen, aside from digging, hasn't touched a coral or snail or crab yet. I think they get a bad rap because they get so big, and when they get big just by their size they can cause a lot of havoc, expecially when digging. Picture a foot long wrasse picking up and moving softball sized rocks... I'm going to have to glue everything down....

[marxsman]

just so you know, I did "glue everythiing down. I actually use an underwater epoxy that does not bother the tank. i use it to stick and shape rocks and put frags on rocks. That way the wrasse and the big clown don't move anything.
