Christmas Wish List

[MonoSebaelover]

There was a thread over in Reef Central that had this and thought I would post it over here. What would be your top fish to get for Christmas (it can be realistic or unreastic) but what would you like?
1.Majestic Angel
2.Moorish Idol (I got an early Christmas and bought one of these yesterday as I have been doing tons of research on these and one in a lfs was eating so brought him home and he continues to eat everything. Still now an advised fish to buy though)
3.Black Ribbon Eel (to get a bud for the one I have now)
(those are the top 3 realistic)
The top 3 unrealistic are:
1.Lookdowns
2.Sohal Tang
3.Pinkface Wrasse (Thalassoma quiqevitatum)
They are unrealistic because lack of space for the first 2 and the third I just have way too many wrasses right now (have 9 different ones!). So anyway, what are your top want fish?

1. There would definitely be lookdowns in my fantasy tank. Whenever my wife sees them, she goes into a trance. Unfortunately, even if I ever got a big enough tank, they are apparently very prone to flukes.

2. Queen angel. Huge and beautiful.

3. A school of heniochus.

Did it have to be fish related?

Did it have to be fish related? Well, then. I want a dive trip to Mexico.

If the new housing for the camera works, I'll post pix when I get back in a few weeks:D

I could use a healthy squarespot and a custom built acrylic sump!

Do you want the email address for a guy in Texas who does good work for a decent price? We worked with him on building some custom overflows, and he was really nice to work with, very understanding and helpful on designs, and a good price.

Hmmm...Not sure what would be on a wish list. Fish related, I am pretty limited in space. So maybe a larger house, with all my stuff already moved in?

Since I'm new to the hobby (10 months and counting), my wish is that any critter I add will have a long and happy life. Haven't lost "anybody" in awhile! Happy holidays to all and thanks for all your help this past ten months.

[RustyRay]

1. A decent local fish store to be owned by me. (All of them stink, are messy, and don't carry any of the good stuff.)

2. A 1000 gallon cylindrical tank along with a new house to hold its weight.

3. A pair of Piranha jaws or some super large megalodon shark teeth (black).

4. A lifetime supply of saltwater, premixed, heated to 77 F, and delivered to my doorstep each week, preferably by Avril Lavigne.

6. A Super Digital Camera to take pictures of me and Avril Levigne next to all the previously mentioned stuff.

Now that you mention it, yes....I would like his email addy - sounds like a guy worth talking to. Thanks :)

I would really like to keep some banded pipefish.
Way cool animals.
A 500 gallon tank and any full size trigger would also be sweet.
