First Fish! I got 'em!

[wantvws]

I'm probably gonna get kicked out for too many threads but I'm very excited to have fish in my tank! I have waited two years to see this. I know everyone has probably seen a gazillion Chromis pics, but here are mine. I got 5 of the little buggers (John, Paul, George, Ringo, and Eddie) and a camera shy Lawnmower Blenny (Lorax). Everyone is eating like crazy!
Thanks for everyone's help and encouragement...it helped me get this very special project completed...well, I suppose it's never completed...
Be ready for lots-o-pictures, 'cause I love taking them....

Thanks! Its a Nikon D70 w/18-70mm lens. And a bit of cleanup work in Photoshop CS3....noise reduction, sharpening, and a bit of color correction.

GREAT to see fish in the tank, real milestone and nice school of fish at that!!! How was the first acclimation - time wise,etc? Looks quite successful. Congratulations.

Not too bad...maybe a bit cumbersome. I clipped the bag on the canopy frame, floated them for 10-15 minutes adn then opened the bag and added tank water every 5-10 minutes. After 45 minutes or so I let 'em go.
Thanks!

Awesome chromis! Love their colors, they don't look stressed at all.

Now about the acclimation, did you empty the water from the LFS into your tank?
