Got ourselves a VERY special Burr Fish (Spiny Box Fish)!

Post by Sandee »

Really loving this new Sony DSC-T200 camera I purchased recently (it feels like I've been buying a new one every 6 months these days!). Does a great job on those 'freeze frame' shots! Here's little Aaron Burr ... original enough (?). He's about 3'' and a hearty eater ... doing well with his tankmates. Looking forward to him growing up in this 120g tank ... :)

Just showin' off - we're pretty proud of our collection of Puffers!

Corus Wrasse, Dragon Wrasse, Bird Wrasse, Baby Lookdown and two Tangs ... all doing very well together! Thinking this tank is complete - the Wrasses and Lookdown will get much bigger too. These guys are in a 120g with a huge wet/dry ...

That's way too many fish for a 120g, IMO. Beautiful fish though.
