New McCoskers Flasher Wrasse
« on: January 14, 2010, 04:07:13 PM »
Went to a LFS today and they had one of my dream fish, a Sunburst Anthias, we fed it live brine and it attacked them, did it again an hour later and ate again so it was great. Tried thawed brine and nothing, one nip but thats it. So I decided to opt out of that fish, in the same tank system there was a black angel, jet black....eating frozen food like candy so it came home with me as well as a McCoskers Flasher Wrasse, he also was eating frozen brine and looked great and Im not even a wrasse fan


The hippo tang immediately made his presence known, the midnight angel hid right away. The wrasse I hope doesnt continue to get picked on I hope its just new fish introduction.

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss

Wow I have never seen a Hippo tang be mean...  Usually they hide, but I guess if he was the first one in there and thought he was the top dog......  sorry......
Have a wonderful day and a better tomorrow.

yeah my hippo is a mean one, and he isnt even very big about 3" tip of tail to mouth but he packs a punch for sure. Was a beautiful fish, I will have another one day .
