Rather be in the Red Sea

[ari5736]

So as you can tell I am trying to take a little of the Red Sea home with me. Hopefully these fish will be okay in New York for the time being.:biggrin:
With the help of the Creator of all of these beautiful animals, they have a lot of growing to do, but thought I would start a thread now anyway.
Hope you enjoy.

Best wishes with all!

Ari, have you been diving in the Red Sea?

You are buying animals from the Red Sea, or you're actually taking them home from Israel/Egypt/Jordan/Saudi Arabia?

Thanks for the feedback.

Daisy, the fish are from lfs which I believe they import directly from the RS (somebody please correct me if I am mistaken). As for me, about 10 years ago, I spent a fair amount of time in different coastal villages on the coast of the Sinai Peninsula (I don't think I've tried to spell that word since grade school). Although I was not there for the diving, it left a considerable impression on me. Needless to say, no place I'd rather be (that is, if it were safe :frown

very nice ari are you plaining to keep it just a fowlr ? I would like to share some ideas with you as I am trying to do the same

I have a bunch of sps frags, some softies and a couple of clams, shrimp, starfish, etc. So far the fish stay away from the corals and inverts as long as I keep them well fed (the Semilivartus is the most picky out of the bunch).

I am planning on a setting up a larger fowlr once these inhabitants get to big for this tank. Hopefully I have some time before that happens though, as I have already spent way to much setting up this tank :Yikes:
