you have some gorgeous fish, Dan. that Coris is especially impressive.

[reeferaddiction]

very nice tank. lol that coris looks like the titanic in some of those pics.

[kirkaz]

Great pics...how big and old is the Coris?....Love the CT.

[danorth]

Thanks folks, the coris is about 12" same basically as it was when I got it nearly 3 years ago.

[Reeferdude2]

Nice fish.I love the trigger.

[billie6227]

That coris is awesome. I love how striking the colors are. My lfs had one a couple of weeks ago but it's colors weren't like that at all. They looked faded.

[WuHT]

Does the coris give your clown trigger any trouble ?

[danorth]

Not really. I was just thinking today about how well those 2 get along. Seems like every other trigger I've had in there no matter their size loved to chase and scare the coris. These 2 though seem to have the same amount of aggression and attitude. Once in a while the clown does something and then it puts its trigger up and tilts to about 45* and the coris flares up its trigger/spike and fins and circles around it a couple of times. Can't wait until the clown is the same size as the coris. Glad you guys like the fish. The coris is even better when I had it in a 100 near the window and the sun would get it....here is a pic of that back in 9/05

Here is just another shot, same date, but under the lights. I think I need those old big tube light again, the fish looked better back then! Notice that the blue spots changed?

Awesome fish Dan, your tank is looking good! How's the mantis tank going? Peace

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

Maybe your Coris looks different because it is getting older?

[billy73]

That is one sweet coris!!!!

[FlyinggFish]

I love your Wrasse!!! I have one too, a Slippery Dick, though....almost as pretty as your wrasse! :]

[danorth]

Thanks for the comps on the coris folks! Titan, the mantis is fast! I can move the shrimp on a stick all around and it can go very quick. I move the mag float cleaner and it pounds the thing. Pretty sweet.

[Confooseld]

The wrasse really has matured into a great fish good to see things going so well.

[scarysdad]

Geat fish Dan.....how do those little YTB Damsels get on in that tank full of big preds ? I was thinking of getting one to add to my set up (currently housing Clown Trigger(2") Bursa Trigger(3"), Maroon Clown(3") and Yellow Foxface(4")) but was a little tentative knowing how big my Triggers will get..

[danorth]

Thanks guys, the ytd and the solid blue one do just fine. They live at opposite ends of the tank and the big fish don't even look at them. I actually never see them eat yet they are very full looking. They are my version of a clean up crew.

[sunfishh]

Great tank :)
I love the purple tang. How long have you had it?

[thor32766]

Sweet fish look very healthy!

[danorth]

Thanks again. The tang I bought in April of '07 and was about 2" long. Now is over 5".

[chrisqueenz]

Sweet fish!

[bluerug]

Love the clown trigger.

[Grouperhead]

I've said it before, but Dan has my favorite fowlr that I've seen here. Absolutely great looking livestock and a very nice mixture of species. Keep up the great work.

[TrappedMetal]

Whats the red dot on the purple tangs tail?

[danorth]

Thanks folks, and GH I will get some new shots soon.

TM, I can only guess that it is algae on the glass. Look at the top of the emp in photo 7, see the spot on it's back? But it isn't there in photo 2. I have a pic clear as day of the tang and the same side on 9-5 and there isn't anything there. I would fess up if it was something wrong.

[Snapper66]

:) Nice Tank You got There.
