Awesome Pic! I really like that fish.

What you looking at? You messing with me?

FragOutpost · 04-24-2005, 07:39 AM

Great Shot!

He looks pretty mean.

Ever been stung by it?

D12monkey · 04-24-2005, 08:15 AM

I have two of em and No I haven't. Might take some update picture of my FOWLR and post pictures of both.

ClarkiiClown · 04-25-2005, 06:17 PM

I would be in trouble if I got stung by one.

Thanks frag- he is my favorite.

D12monkey · 04-26-2005, 05:27 PM

They're not as bad as people make them out to be. I have 2 the one in the picture and a rare true black volitan Lion <--- Really beautyful. I think for june we should take pictures of invertabrates for the contest. If so can I enter my G. tessalatus?

FragOutpost · 04-26-2005, 06:29 PM

I have heard stories about people cleaning their tank and startling a lion and having it prick them. Just curious if it has ever happend to you.

FragOutpost · 04-26-2005, 06:39 PM

Unless someone has another recommendation, then invertebrates it is for the June photo contest.
Although, I've seen some pics of your star that would win just about any photo contest.

D12monkey · 04-26-2005, 11:24 PM

Then it wouldn't be vary fair to put it up on the contest huh?

lwhite2 · 04-27-2005, 09:52 AM

I know this is a simple fish compared to the others in the contest but he's my favorite. I think the blue chromis accents him very well.

lwhite2 · 04-27-2005, 09:54 AM

Sorry Im still figuring out the parameters for photos. Hope this is better.

FragOutpost · 04-27-2005, 06:45 PM

Thanks for entering the photo contest.

That's a nice wrasse. How aggressive it it? Does it bully your chromis at all?

PatrickJ · 04-28-2005, 01:49 AM

I have a large collection of pictures of this couple. I see them trying to spawn every day.

They <3 each other.

Welcome to the Frag Outpost Forums PatrickJ.
Wow. A pair of mandarins attempting to spawn in an aquarium. That must be great to watch. Nice photo. Thanks for entering the photo contest.

No, to my understanding they have a planktonic stage where they float along with everything else in the ocean, feeding on micro plankton and micro planktonic crustations. Also they would get sucked up into the protien skimmer.

Raising just 1 baby would be a challenge and best left up to mother nature.

Despite that it's nearly impossiable in captivity, i thought about setting up a huge shallow bin (like 600 gallons) of live rock and full cheatmorpha out in a sun room. With no skimmer. I am sure I would get something out of it.

D12monkey · 04-28-2005, 03:44 PM

Actually they are not planktonic. There is a gentleman in another forum that has had some success in breeding the fry. He's kept the fry alive for 2 weeks after hatching. But hasn't had success in keeping it longer.

Great thread so far. It is not even May yet and we already have 4 entries. Keep those photos coming.
