Bought a new fish


I was at the LFS today and saw a hawaiian saddle wrasse and i bought it. I told the guy i will be back on friday to pick him up. The price we are still working on becasue he wants some of my corals either way i am going to be getting this fish

Here are some crappy pics i got of him with my camera phone and under their cheap lighting at the LFS. Better pics to come when i get him in my tank

To bad i already have a tang otherwise i would have bought that Clown Tang in the last pic. He is a healthy looking tang and was listed for $50

Well the LFS is right next to a nice restaurant I am just kidding but they do have good food there.

I should have the fish in my tank no later than 4pm est time on Friday i get out of work at 1pm est time go home and turn off my tank lights then drive to the LFS across town and pick up the fish come home and acclimate him in the dark the release him and let and see how he does then a few hours after that turn my lights back on.
