OK over the last coupe of days i have bit the bullet and done 2 things i thought i would never do.
1. A bluethroat trigger. After my old bluethroat last year jumped out of the tank and died i have been reluctant to get another. I was so upset i just couldnt bring myself ot get another but this weekend i saw this male beauty and i knew the time was right to try once more.
This trigger has loads of character and definately isnt like other bluethroats that go running off to hide behind the nearest rock. This boy comes right up to you to see if you are doing anything interesting!
2. Achilles tang. After having such a disasterous time with tang recently i was really worried with this one. The shop i got it from was a very reputable one. They have a policy of keeping the fish for 2 weeks in quarentine, this fish was hand picked at the wholesalers as the best achilles they had, it survived the quarentine, spent 2 weeks in the stores sale tank ans was eating very well. The Achilles tang is one of my favorite fish, if i really wanted one then this achilles was probably the best tang i could find of its species. I have taken the plunge and tried once more to have such a fish. So far things look good. the fish is eating well and swimming happily in the tank. It did get a little bullied when first introduced to the main tank by the emperor tang but they are now swimming happily in the tank together.
Fingers crossed these will settle in well
