A frying pan sounds like a great upgrade!

I dont eat my aquarium fish. I am pretty sure there are people out there that do things like that. But I grew love for my fish and I would never hurt them. I am not in the hobby to kill fish.

Welcome to the NANFA forum!

You've got quite a collection already, in mass if not in numbers. Of course, as soon as you move the big gamefish to their new home, you'll have to find something to put in the empty 120 gallon. And it will just keep escalating!

Don't worry, Irate is the resident joker. He probably won't eat your fish, but don't let him in the house to be safe. :laugh:

Welcome to the Forum.
You've ben officially accepted when Irate Mormon busts your chops. :rolleyes:
Do you ever do any saltwater collecting? You have access to some very cool tropical strays on the south shore.

Tropical strays? What kind of strays, may I ask?

Tropical strays are coral reef fish that have a planktonic larval stage that gets caught in the Gulf Stream and transported north beyond their normal range. When the post larval transformation happens to correspond with late summer maximun sea temps in northern waters, the juvinile reef fish can survive long enough to settle out onto rocky reefs and jettys. They can be collected in September and October before cold water temps kill them off. There are dozens of species that are at least occasional strays but the two most common are spotfin butterflyfish and bicolor damsals.
Both are excellent captives.
These are two examples of strays collected as juvies that matured in my tanks.

My goodness, is that awesome, Mike! It makes me want to comb some jetties on Long Island! One of these days I'll actually set up a saltwater tank.

wow!, one of your better ones Martin...

I hear the icthyofashionas may be caught with a fat wallet seine at Ino in the midafternoon, and the spendonids at Lincoln center in the evenings.


ChannelCat2008 welcome
