The 60g Scorp/Wasp/Anthias Tank

seahorsedreams · 12/14/2009, 08:15 AM

My threads are all over the place. You've seen pics of these guys pop up elsewhere, but last night the tank officially got it's first resident.

The frondosa moved out and the male dwarf lion moved in. (there's a chance he'll have to move back out if a yellow male we have our eyes on makes it out of treatment).

Next up are the anthias, cockatoo and the littoralis.

I feel I've been waiting for this since forever.

How big is he ? I have a female in Q waiting to go to a 90g . She will be first in . Plan on getting a male . stubby

seahorsedreams · 12/14/2009, 08:54 AM

He's about 4-5 inches ATM.... I think. I seem to always be off with guessimations!

That is one awesome lion I was thinking about turning my 20 gallon into a wasp home.

Nice fish, can you post a FTS?

Juggler · 12/14/2009, 06:46 PM

And i sure do love both lions. But imagine a volitan with that paintjob!

Awesome fish! How big is this guy now? Hum... are we derailing the thread

?

I'll take a pic of it tonight when I get the anthias in there... not that you'll see them I'm sure.

This was the tank before we removed the volitans and the fronnie.

Right now it looks rather plain because we removed the macro until we get the critters situated.... don't want anyone hiding where we can't see them. So stay tuned... pics coming.

I'm nervous. I've had these fish in QT for along time waiting for this to happen. The male fuzzy has been in QT since Sept 20th, 2008 and the anthias have been in QT since Jan 26th, 2009!

seahorsedreams · 12/14/2009, 08:09 PM

The Cockatoo has eaten.... it's his turn next.

seahorsedreams · 12/15/2009, 12:02 AM

And he's in..... tomorrow.... whoever I catch first.

Oh my gosh Renee -- I read that too quickly and thought it said "the Cockatoo has been eaten! I thought - Oh No! Not after all this time preparing! Glad to hear things are going well --- after all your work, you and Greg deserve some time sitting in front of this "completed" tank!

I have a closet vegetarian.

The caption should actually read "MISSED!".

Salad is always a good appetizer to a shrimp dinner.
