The Creamsicle Lyretail Molly. I tried removing him once before, and Balki threw a tantrum until I put him back in. I'm SO glad he doesn't care anymore, because I really didn't want to keep a molly with him, I prefer to keep him solo, he just didn't care for that idea at first.

Has Balki grown any?

Re: New Tank for Balki! *again*
Ok, I was wrong, Balki has grown a little. He's right at about 3" now.
I don't have any update pics, but Balki has a new roommate, Dimitri the Tailspot Blenny. We were almost in NC on business, so we went to Fintastic on Sunday and they had 2 of these guys. I acclimated him and put him in, but it was already lights out when I got home. In the morning they both saw each other for the first time, and they both startled each other. Balki seems to enjoy the addition as he's been a bit more active than normal, not that he's ever lazy, but he seems to be a bit more spry. Dimitri is just about as cute as Balki, so that tank is just about overwhelming in cuteness now. Dimitri is very tiny and my phone camera is very sucks so I can't get a picture of him that looks like a fish.
And Orangjello, the Molly, is doing very well in the other marine tank, the Clown and Dragonet seems to enjoy his company, he must be a very congenial fish. Since the glass is thinner, he doesn't fight his ghost reflection as much.
