Well got my fish today. I only ended up sending back a bridled beautty cleaner wrasse a pair of coral banded shrimp and a half dozen zebra hermit crabs. half black and white half orange and black. All fish arrived in good shape. The department of natural resources, who I had to get free permit from to catch fish, pointed me in the direction of a fish store to help me package my fish. The guy used to be a collector and shipper and was super nice and helpful. I ended up fed-exing them, no airline would allow them even in thier cargo. I also caught a french angel the day before my trip to hawaii. He is doing great picked at my tree coral the first few days then began eating frozen food like a pig and now seems to be leaving all coral alone. cool personality comes right to you everytime you look in aquarium.
Marc was correct most fish in Hawaii were too large for my tank, I let a tang and a moorish idol go back after a day , too big. I was also only snorkeling and there was soo much coral. The fish were much more difficlt to catch than in Florida. Amazing fish and coral. I will let you know when the wrasse eats. He is very small and will hopefully be okay. Very colorful compared to species I see online. He is purple, pink and black. The fish store guy tried to buy him from me. I had bought a 10 gallon tank to hold fish for when I was there, gave that to the fish store for there help. They charged me 2 dollars. It was alot of work but worth every minute. My new wife was diving with me when I caught the wrasse so she loves it and it gets her involved. She also picked out all the hermit crabs, they were everywhere in the tidal pools in front of our villa.
