hi Mark, your histi is a pearler mate, have you found that the kubotai are ungainly swimmers btw?.
i have them at different stages of growth, the small to nealy 4 inch fish swim with great control but the big boys 6+ inch seem to have a laboured swimming action.

That one is the smallest of the histi's Mick :D

Yeah I have noticed that he bigger of the Kubotai's are a bit ungainly when it comes to swimming around normally but they soon swim fine when having a mad half hour with the histi's and at feeding time :lol:

That is indeed an Emperor, there are 5 more in there as well :D

That clown was a lucky find, I also got an almost silver coloured Clown that came in with the same batch but getting a half decent photo of it in a 250 gallon tank is a nightmare.

The upside down shot of the weirdy clown is beautiful. 8) You must keep trying for a pic of the 'almost silvery coloured one'! :wink:

That special "wave" design on that one clown amazes me - I´m looking at it like at a piece of rare art.
