Electric Blue

[mike dunagan]

what do you have him with? Tank size? future plans?

Hes great looking and amen to buying food in bulk!

Right now I have him in a 120 gallon with a large spot bleekeri and a orange/white midas. I know this is sort of taboo, but I think they are by far my three favorite fish. I say "I think" because I seem to be fairly fickle in the area of stocking, so many cool fish, so little tank space!

OMG, I just about had to change my pants, you guys are hilarious. Yes, this is my first hap and he makes me very happy.

I just read your post again Mike, freakin hilarious!

i had an electric blue for a while. he was DEFINITELY WITHOUT A DOUBT the COOLEST FISH i have ever kept! but then he got killed by one of my snow white socolofi and was buried under my gravel for MONTHS before he finally showed up! also, you don't have an electric blue from what i can tell. you have a normal ahli.

I'm not sure what to call it to be honest, it was sold to me as an electric blue ahli at my LFS. Are ahli's and haps different fish?
