Here's a few shots of the tank at six months old (more or less).

New striped mushrooms (a couple of weeks in the tank):

Some hairy mushrooms we got a few days ago:

Full tank shot (yes, there's a clownfish feeding clip in there):

Some of the inhabitants, a few weeks ago:

Nice pics. Definitely like the wrasse. I would like to get one but I need a bigger tank first.

You could keep flasher wrasses in a 55g tank, as long as you have other peaceful inhabitants. I think they get to about 3" max.

I am about maxed out on fish. I have 7 and I don't want to push it by adding another. All the more reason to upgrade!

Ahhh yes I had my secretive wrasse commit suicide this past week by jumping.......and unfortunately i didn't find him until he was a nice red crispy chip......darn, I really liked that fish too......he was always out in the open swimming around.

Nice tank Lotus, I really like the way you have your rock work. Interesting......is that anthis school in there? and the pj cardinals?

The orange fish in there are McCosker's flasher wrasses.

Unfortunately, the anthias didn't make it out of quarantine They came down with ich, one by one, and each died very quickly after the first spots. As soon as I saw the spots, I started doing hyposalinity, but the disease seemed to take them too fast. I'm still really bummed about it.

The PJs are still in there. We have five. One mysteriously died one night. There were no signs of anything at all on him, and there hasn't been any bullying. It was one of those "unexplained" deaths.

Sorry to hear about the anthias, at least thats what quaranteen is for tho.

I agree.....just think if you had introduced them into the main display....you could have lost everyone. It is sad though just the same as they were a stunning group together. I would love to have a large tank with a group of fairy or flasher wrasses. They can be just as stunning a display as the anthis and somewhat easier to keep. Are these all the same species and do you have a dominant male with a harem of females?
