No, I'll not be adding any more anampses to this tank. If I can get a good trio of chrysocephalus, I'd add them to the new tank build next year.

The Hooded is the Tanna; with the thin red strip protruding down the lateral side of the body from the head.

Hey, any updates on the Femininus Wrasse, any special dietary requirements?

Nope, just like any other anampses IME. The only thing is that be wary of how you treat for internal parasites. All have them ...

Do you mean that all Anampses got internal parasites.
I qt all my fish, I wish I get rid of that parasites.
New video soon ??
Thanks

Let me put it this way, if you are not giving your anampses a prazi baths and internal deworming protocols as a matter of course in your QT process, you are taking a real chance that the internal bugs will win over the fish and it will slowly starve. I've unfortunately had this happen previously with beautiful anampses. Also if you keep them in a community tank (vs on their own) food competition does not play in their favor as they chew vs swallow. It's only when I have my anampses religiously eating pellets that I let myself breath a sigh of relief and that is because at that point I know that they will be getting enough nutrients since they effectively can swallow small pellets and do not need to chew them any longer...

No new videos. I'm taking a break as my lineatus croaked for no apparent reason after his hollywood cameo... I believe that Steve Norvich has it right in that photographing fish in tank potentially jinxes them.

Yup the earlei, nahacky and rosefascia are in plus some others

. I've actually moved everything into the 2M tank and I'll update pics once I've put the AT's and other tangs back in. The three Femis are getting along fine, but I did get rid of two of the Lennardi due to aggression with the two males. This is all part of my hobby "simplification" campaign with the wife. LOL.

Nothing about that sounds simple lol, look forward to a longer vid

Does the cooler temp have an effect on the other fish, tangs and angels etc or even your SPS?

Not that I've seen. I let the tank creep up to 27*c in the summer, but back down at 26*c in the winter. Fish seem fine with it - even the AT's.

How cool can a tank be kept? I know some Wrasse come from deeper waters and therefore do better in a cooler tank but whats the coolest temp fish and corals such as tangs, angels and sps will tolerate?

I've kept all at 25*c before. I've raised the temp just in the last year to save power actually. Did not have an issue with sps or fish.
