    1″ Baby Anthias from Diver’s Den

    They have taken to their home and are quite a riot to watch. Very few fish can make people smile, but these little ones have no problem. A few non-aquarists friends that stopped by today were left enthralled (and laughing) by these tiny energetic fish. Just a teaser photo for the time being, more photos to come of these guys and a new trio of Apogon Cardinalfish.

      Very cool, maybe this will be my next fish…been contemplating for some time as to what fish to add.

      …beautiful. Tiny blue tangs have that effect on me too. I look at mine now and can’t even imagine them ever being so tiny and then I see them in the store and they are just hard to resist. Kindof like a puppy or something. BTW, did you see the Mcculloch’s Clownfish in Divers Den? You may have even blogged about them already but when I saw the price, it came screaming out at me…wow!!!

      Man those are cute! I’ve never seen them that small. Any fear of them jumping?
