Pics from the LFS and the Hammer/frogspawn crossbreed

Nice stock, not cheap but looks like good quality - the acro's were very pricey though.

The batfish get absolutely colossal, and quite quickly.

I don't know why they think that coral is a hybrid? It's very colourful though, but that's not much to go on. Did it come from a spawning in the tank, or did someone id it?

it was in a employee's tank who has since left the LFS, but he was able to crossbreed it, the Acro's are pricy but most of them are really nice the digital didnt do them justice, yea I figured the batfish was a bad idea and thats why i didnt impulse buy, the coral itself gets much larger and looks nicer bu I got there right when they opened and it hadnt opened all the way

Need at least a 300 gallon for an adult batfish.

yes i know I was just thinking i could keep him as a juvy for a little then sell him back, but i realized it was not feasible, they are just so freakin cool

 

[S.Reef]

Well, what size tank do you have? You could keep him for a while and then bring him back.

 

[aresgod]

yea its a 40 long, not a good idea, especially the way the rock work is set up, but I can dream right?

Of course...I want to convert an above ground pool into a shark pind.

oh man that would be soo sweet, 10-20,000 gallon pool

 

[zanoshano]

wow,that was truly amazing. How many tanks are in that place? I really like the brains. I swear, the owner would have to throw me out after i stay in there...looking at all the tanks over and over again, and i jave no money. lol. Looks like an awesome place.

 

[zanoshano]

what kind of camera did u use to get these shots?

I got a 25,000gal inground in the backyard that i'd like to make a huge reef . Just throw some rocks in, couple of black tipped reef sharks and a few shoals of various other fish and boom I could go diving in my own reef. I can dream too right?

That yellow tang looks great, and big! Saw some at the zoo the other day twice the size of my hand or so....freakin huge.

its a great LFS they actually just offered me a job, its a long drive not sure if im going to take it, already have 2 jobs, but I use a canon powershot A510, its a great little camera, eats batteries though... they have 3 180 gallon show tanks with corals in them, also have a 120, and 30 or so 10 gallons, a bunch of invert cubes, and then prolly 60 or so small fish containers that are in a closed system

in the pics of the hammer/frogspawn crossbreed (which i assume was the wonderfully green flourescent euphyllia looking coral), are those brownish/orange spots flatworms?

dude, i have a crappy computer and a crappy connection and i got the first post's pics in less than 2 mins sweet

 

[zanoshano]

these are just amazing pictures. :0

 

[aresgod]

I am not sure what Spots you are talking about, but after reviewing the pics I didn't see any flatworms...
