You mean something kinda like this :p



I've never really been a huge fan of the fire fish (except for the helfrichi, but there big $$ for known jumpers), and not a fan of clowns in tens either, but jmo.
I might go tanakas wrasse, or one of the smaller blennies, or a green banded goby, or maybe a trio of trimma/eviota gobies.... Not real sure yet, lots of options.

Haha I haven't gone to reefwise yet, I saw the post on Facebook they did. I'm about to get up and go to Aqua pros and see what they have to offer there.

Well I just got home from a tournament in Milwaukee, and my girls got me a surprise yesterday during their "girls day out" .





That's right, I'm marrying a woman who knows how to drip acclimate :p. She may not know how I feel about clowns in 10s (oh well) but at least they didn't get a pair , and picassos are my favorites

Operation clown goby rescue!!

Oh she's a keeper, no doubt about it. She even knew to check the salinity they came out of and do long slow drip from .021 to .025

Thanks sand dollar , I guess after 10 years together and having tanks the whole time a few things rubbed off . Normally they'll pick something out if we all go to the lfs but this is the first time they've done it with out me. I may have mentioned that a 20 needs to be purchased now before the move to accommodate the new clown but who knows. Things are kind of crazy and up in the air for the next few months so well see what happens
