Gorgeous fish! They are great photos too!

nice fish. I also found tangs to have the largest size of teeth of the africans relative to thier size.

Those are really beautiful fish... I'd love to see a whole-tank shot.

Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

Yeah nice fish good photos.Would love to see a full tank shot.

Nice fish...wanna see a whole tank shot though...

20 GALLON LONG CURRENTLY EMPTY ~~~~ 10 GALLON W/ STRIPPED CONVICT

Thats gotta be one of the cleanest shells ive seen in a tang tank for a shelldweller lol. must be a new shell heheh. great shots, very well taken.

Thanks for the replies...and yes, those are new shells

I didn't post a tank shot earlier because I had to re-do the rocks and shells. With the previous setup my stapps wouldn't go near the shells for some reason.

This is the best shot I could get. Unfortunately five of my tanks are on a wall opposite our balcony with verticle blinds that don't quite keep out the light

That is a really gorgeous set up. What size is the tank?

*cough* 29g Tang, Jan 30 2006 *cough*

I can be so un-observant sometimes. Sorry about that. The tank really is beautiful though

thats a really cool setup... i really like the rocks as a focal point... its quite artsy, in that "just-a-pile-of-rocks-i-threw-together" kind of look... i think you've inspired me to go down to the river in search of some new river rocks.. THANK YOU!

I love the fishes cuz they're SOOO delicious...

little tip about the glare from the blinds your complaining about. hang a dark blanket or towel over the blinds. i have the same issue with my show tank when i wanna take pics. i have a window on either side and a bright doorway directly in front so dodging light is a project in of itself. i normally shut the door and blinds then start hanging dark navy blue blankets to make the room almost pitch black then have the tank light on. works well hope this helps

Very very nice, Theresa

I love how you managed to create some height in the center of the tank .

PS: How stable is the rock pile?

Theresa what a BEAUTIFUL tank. Well done.

~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~

This is how the tank was first arranged:



The stapps didn't like the shells grouped together on that one side and totally ignored them So the next time a water change was due I spread a bunch of towels on the floor, removed all the rocks and shells, and worked with them on the floor to come up with a mutually satisfying arrangement At that point I took a few pics so I wouldn't have problems setting it back up in the tank.

Most of the rocks are heavy; my kids collected them outside our building The three that are circled in this photo are actually ceramic rocks. They are realistic looking, light-weight, and those I purchased have two holes giving the fish additional hiding places.



I don't want to artifically secure the rocks in any way, so while the pile was still on the floor I kind of pushed and poked at it to make sure it wouldn't tumble over once in the tank.

I originally had a mix of black and white sand with the shells and a gravel substrate for the rest of the tank. I like the new look after I spread out the sand with the gravel.

Thanks again for the comments and compliments, I very much appreciate it
