My 150 Gallon tank 4 months old

Hi there, well the video below is of my 150 gallon tank after 4 months and after the hottest summer in Burlington I can remeber in a long time. The fans for evaporative cooling worked just perfect.


In the video you will see a number of fish.

FoxFace Lo - a curious fish, the one with the black & white face and yellow body. His is an algae eater and very well behaved community fish. He always puts up with the yellow tang pestering him. The FoxFace Lo's dorsal spines are extremely poisonous....so you do not want to be touching him or trying to catch him by hand. Another interesting behaviour of the FoxFace is that he can change colours to camoflouge into the background, he can go from bright yellow to black or anything in between...

The other fish are a Hawaiin Yellow Tang and a Pacific Blue Tang and Yellow Tail Corus Wrasse ( Juvenile) see earlier post about how this fish changes has it reaches adult hood.

There is also a blue streak cleaner wrasse....this wrasse cleans the bigger fish, and picks at them.....the bigger fish let this grooming occur as it helps them....and probably feels good too. ( you can see this in the video above)

There are also a few blood red cleaner shrimp as well and they also will climb on to the bigger fish....and groom and clean them.
