Ummmmmmmmmm......
The wrasse.......

We had some issues with the leopard and the kuiters in the four footer....

And kept them separate till the 8 footer was up... And since then no issues...... Most of them all grew up together as juvis......

I think some of the wrasse don't give a crap either......

I think we arsed the tangs more then the wrasse.......

All that awaits now is our main man to get a juvi achellies for the tank

Love the chevron.

I'm planning to have a pair of hawks and mandarins in my new tank, so I am a bit jealous right now !!

There have been some stunners in the store.... And yeah far from just a juvi size......

But I know he'll hunt one down

Yeah the chevron is a ripper, we made sure it wasn't a Philippine import one....huge difference in colour to your hawaii ones..... The little man grows fast.....

Pairing the mandarins was fun..... They originally decided to play grab the fins and go for a tug of war

 

[brendan88]

Though nicole found once you have the mandarins nice and plump they get along......

Cause we did have to separate them by hand originally when they weren't fat and healthy.....

Now they just come up to the feeding tube and grab there frozen food.....

I would recommend having them in a small tank first where u can just throw frozen and live at them, with no competition present

I can organise that, thanks for the tip.

Did you buy the flame hawks as a pair?

Negative, just bought two that were under 5cm big and let them decide who was going to be the male
