Looks real good Mike. I love all the different types of fish. How do they get along? Especially that bi color damsel. He doesn’t pester everyone?

Thanks!  I love the fish as much if not more than the coral. The azure damsels are great actually. By doing 3 or more, they won’t kill each other, and it allows them to focus on each other vs the other fish. There are zero issues with aggression.

Eatbreakfast on R2R helped me a lot to get variety and compatibility. 

It’s so mellow that my purple firefish and royal gramma cruise the whole tank.

The red head Solon fairy wrasse is king of the tank. He will chase the zebra darts at feeding time a bit, but no nipping.

Just added this 5” derasa Saturday night.

You’ve done a great job with it. It just looks so active and there are so many thing that catch your eye.

God luck with the clam!

So far I am liking them. I control them thru the ICV6 wifi module ($45) on my ipad or phone.  Much easier to program via the app.

Growing my softies and LPS well so far.

Some SPS frags were put in a week ago so the jury is still out.

The Deresa clam on the bottom has been happy for a month.

I'm watching the SPS closely!

Oh, and it grows hair algae as well! :)

Here is a “nem video”

Keith gave it to me when he was down here, about the size of a quarter.

Now it’s all grown up!

Rainbow bubble tip.

Haven’t seen the bubbles in a while though!

Looking great Mike. Do the Wheelers ever interact or do they just tolerate each other?  I’ve always loved those little booger’s, and I had heard they could be kept together...  just didn’t know if they ever have a spat?

Hi Jim,

these are my first pair of wheelers. got them off of DD as a bonded pair with a candy cane pistol shrimp.

ive had them about 6 months now.

definitely a male and a female, as you can tell by size and color.

the female typically stays on the front left of the tank with the pistol shrimp. The male typically stays middle to right side of the tank.

They get together a couple times a day and stay side by side. and every few weeks they go thru their spawning ritual.

I call them Mr and Mrs Smith! They have pretty cool personalities and are very curious.

If you wanted a pair, I would definitely buy them as a pair after they have been sexed, like from DD.

Male


Female


Mr and Mrs Smith
