Today is almost the most surreal day of my life....

My all time dream fish , in fact the first marine fish I ever fell in love with as a kid , I remember this moment clearly.....

I've never laid eyes on a living specimen :eek until today!!!!!!

Well - he is mine now
:p

Since my tank is not ready I've quickly set up a quarantine tank for my precious

DAMN IT MAN!!! Don't leave us in suspenders like this, spill the beans. :D

 

[Wrangy]

I'm with Rob, HOW DARE YOU!! Although something in the back of my mind knows you've mentioned said fish before and I simply can't remember :P

It's one of those situations - the fish fins are perfect , but he is a touch rough from transit and quarantine , he is very alert and well but slightly irritated around the gill area.
The LFS said he has been flicking like (I observed him do it at the LFS)
They assured me nothing to worry about.
So that said - he is eating well , alert, not shy and very happy in the quarantine.

After my last tank crash I do think quarantine is going to be the way forward. Even if to settle such imports.

It could be cryptic and elusive but this example is not shy considering its size.

If I had one guess, I'd be throwing in for angel

 

[Mattres]

Yup agree, my money's on an angel. Just which one...
