Yesterday I did water changes on the three tanks in the house: 6', 180G and 60G. With the glass clean I thought it would be a good opportunity to take some photographs of the tanks and the fish.

6' Tank

Here's a full shot of the tank. The corallimorphs have really taken over. They even seem to be limiting the spread of the zoanthids.

6' tank.

My Eibl's angelfish, Centropyge eibli, is my oldest fish - well at least the fish I have had the longest. I acquired it more than 9 years ago.

This cleaner wrasse, Labroides dimidiatus, I caught more than 9 years ago. It is still going well, although is starting to look old.

I've had the flame angelfish, Centropyge loricula, for only 6 years.

I've had the black anemonefish, Amphiprion melanopus, for just over 5 years.

I've had the clown anemonefish, A. percula, for only two and a half years.

I caught the leopard wrasse, Macropharyngodon meleagris, just over 2 years ago and it is the newest fish in this tank.

180G Tank

Here's a full shot of the tank.

I caught this cleaner wrasse, Labroides dimidiatus, nearly 7 years ago at Seal Rocks.

This is my yellow longnose butterflyfish, Forcipiger flavissimus, which caught at Seal Rocks just over 6 years ago.

60G Tank

Here's a full shot of the tank. The Acropora colonies are doing well. Not bad for normal output fluorescent lights.

I caught this keyhole angelfish, Centropyge tibicen, just over 4 years ago, at Seal Rocks.

I caught this Klein's butterflyfish, Chaetodon kleinii, at Seal Rocks on the same day as the keyhole angelfish.
