    Not only do you have a beautiful selection of fish (stunning pattern on the clown by the way) and great camera skills, but apparently they are cooperative when it comes to photos.
    I can't even get my kids to sit still that long!

    I used to every time I would get a female would start to transition and a fight to the death soon after. I don't know how people do it? Happens to me with Anthias as well. I do have a trio of Japanese Swallowtail. Then the pair of Crosshatch Triggers.

    First real camera and have taken hundreds of photos. Fish never cooperate for me. No camera skills just luck sometimes. Thanks for the compliment I really appreciate it!

    I love seeing the interaction of mated pairs. I was expecting to see a female lightening too.

    I think the key is to get them all small and young, and let the most dominant become male.

    I do have a female Roseafacia and a female Squareback Anthias but scared to put them together. I tried pairing wyoming whites a few years ago and Gold Nuggets both time murder took place. I have that kind of luck. They got along fine then one day while at work someone gets murdered. I have only had luck with Percula clownfish.

    Everything going into my new systems will be pairs harems. If I cant get multiples, I will wait until I can.

    I love the lightnings as well. Nice to see they have came down in price.

    Beautiful fish!!! Didn't know that anyone from Logan, IA was in to salt water.... LOL - I grew up there and was a LoMa Panther - graduated many, many years ago. My family is all gone from there now though.

    Thank you very much! I have only been here for 8 years. I live off the first gravel road north of town off hghwy 30. People in MO Valley have salt tanks, closest I could find.

    Pencil wrasse is paired I forgot. Not really great watching the interactions of them though. He spends most of the time dominating her so she does not change. Same goes with the Japanese Swallowtail harem. The Crosshatch Trigger pair are best fiends and they are a great pleasure to watch. I did just buy a couple of Pyramids I have not picked up yet. Does that count?☺
