My new show fish! (thanks Ralph!!)
All I can say is: Wow! This video was taken at the end of a feed session. She ate 10-15 PE mysis soaked in selcon before I began filming. You should be able to see her fat belly, and she still eats a few for the camera. The other fish in the tank could care less about her. I am very very pleased! Ralph really knows how to raise a great fish. More videos and pics to come.

Sweet. Love that fish. But, if I could make a suggestion, I think you need to add a couple more clams to that tank. Three just isn't enough. LOL

Looks that way. Going to have to re-paint it though. She doesn't like the white. LOL Going to be a slow build with lots of questions. I will PM you the first question. LOL

I'm glad she has found a good home! My male Macropharyngodon meleagris paired up with the younger female and started harassing this beauty who I already miss soooo much! I guess even the most peaceful fish have a dominate/sexual aggression within their species.
nice video!

He certainly has visitation rights. She just ate breakfast. Pictures don't work well with fast fish. Here's another video.

Thanks! I've been trying to make this a nice show tank. It is a little cluttered at the moment, but I have some projects on the way that will allow me to clear out some coral.
The fatness of the leopard was inherited. She's just keeping the habit

Thanks Ralph. She is the queen of the tank. She is the final fish addition to that tank. I think she would have done ok in the 210, but I think the 93 was the best choice. She's so big!!! Every bit of 5inches if not more.

She looks great. One day, I would love to have one of those.
Dylan, if I can highjack this thread for a second......How do you like the black sand bed? Any truth the rumors of magnetic particles in it? Any problems with it. I am trying to decide which way I want to go.

The black sand is magnetic. This is a pita if you drop a magnetic frag plug in the sand, or get the mag float too close.
As far as aesthetics, I don't think any other sand looks as nice. This is the only black sand that I would choose to use. The coarse stuff just doesn't look the same.

Lol, never admit it!!!
I love the way black makes the colors pop. The magnetic properties don't make it a terrible buy or anything. It's just something to be aware of while maintenancing the tank. Luckily, non of my customers use the stuff!
