LFS first?

[DEXTER SOLIS]

just wanted to share my recent venture to one of my favorite LFS Pets Warehouse.

they got a nice selection of Hawaii livestock, wrasses flames (males), some nice Angels (non reef safe) & anthias bicolors & lyretails abound! ...... Aussie corals, not for the light pocket, freshly fragged, but certainly something I have not seen before in any Long Island Store, & a must see for LIRA members, who knows, with the 20% discount, something just might make sense to score, a had to walk out with ONE frag. makes me wish I dont have a $50 limit :lol:

Any Scribbled angel sightings?
Were the male flames over 2 bills?

[DEXTER SOLIS]

no, male flames were $179 if they are still there.
no scribbled angels, only Blue face & I think Emperor, I saw a juvi, but could not ID

how were the lyretails?

how were the lyretails?

only one sure female, rest was sub male & two males....... I would have snatched them but the $$ was not there this time :o

any blue throat triggers?

[DgenR8]

I've been asking them for months to get me a pink square Anthias. Did you see one of them?

[DEXTER SOLIS]

hey Larry, they have ONE, he is a monster! call them, they should have no problem holding it for you

[jayblock]

FYI Ive owned 4 Pink Square anthias, for some reason i havent had much luck with them more than a month or so.

I've seen at least one at both Pets and Aqua Hut every time I go, but like everything it's all timing I guess.

I've had good luck with all Anthias but I feed twice a day to keep them happy, my trio is a little over 3 years old now.

I didnt see any this time, that is not a rarity tthough

[pecan2phat]

Mark,

That is a Desjardinii Sailfin Tang in the pics?

[Long Island Andy]

Nice pics Mark, the tang is a Dusemeri Tang, I have one in my 120,it is a beautiful fish but grows pretty big

[pecan2phat]

I thought my id skills were in the crapper :lol:

Andy, any Bariene tangs?

[Long Island Andy]

Warren, that is the first time I ever heard of Bariene tangs. All along I have been calling them white tailed surgeonfish!!!!

[catman78]

Thanks for the correction Andy.

I knew it was some kind of tang that started with a 'D'.

Mark

[pecan2phat]

Andy,

As juvies, they definitely look very close to the white tailed surgeons. At 5" to 7" they look totally different and are actually very colorful.

[catman78]

Any idea what size they are in these images?

Agree, Look nicer mature.

Mark

[pecan2phat]

I would say over 5".
