Two new Carpenter wrasses

[Fish'InMN]

We picked up two carpenter wrasses Friday night from OD to finish off stocking the 40g; one semi-male and one juvenile.

Of course, snapping pictures of these two is nearly impossible. I think I took nearly 120 photos over the weekend and have only three poor quality shots to show for it. Anyway, they are quite peaceful inhabitants and with a fully-covered tank they have no where to go. :biggthumpup:

Along with the 8" box around the tank where the VHOs are mounted, there is a fiberglass mesh screen covering the whole tank. The mesh is about 1/8" squares and probably cuts down on some light getting into the tank, but meh. These fish ain't going anywhere!

Semi-Male, with flash.

I bought one of those from OD a few weeks ago as well...Man, is he fast. He has found a little cave and lays in there most of the day until I feed....then he darts around so fast eating. Pretty cool...
