How the heck do you get those fish to lay still on your hand/not freak out when you try to pick them up?

Beautiful fish!

I am the fish whisperer! (I take photos after acclimation before placing them in the tank - they're exhausted from shipping I am sure)

And come on Kole Tang... ONE photo? ONE????

 

[Breakthecycle2]

Wow I have never seen one! Very cool!

Thank you. When I saw him, I had to get it, even though my tank wasn't even built yet.

Yes, because this is my display.

And you only have one prized fish?

And that's a cool snow leopard!

[4FordFamily]

Wow Very cool! Can you post the names of the fish species (I prefer non scientific names but you can post both! )

I LOVE the angler!!

Is the red one some sort of dottyback?

Thank you and sure. From the top:

Black Striated Anglerfish (Antennarius striatus)
Baby Grey Angelfish (Pomacanthus arcuatus)
Red Soapfish (Suttonia lineata) So, not a dottyback.
Candy Basslet (Liopropoma carmabi)
Whitecap Goby (Lotilia graciliosa)
Blue Stripe Cave Gobies (Trimma tevegae)

Wow that is SOME collection! I spend serious coin on tangs, angels, etc. but for some reason have yet to buy a wrasse for more than $125... which is stupid because most wrasse are much hardier than the tangs/angels i buy and I am great at keeping difficult to expert level wrasse.

Some of these $500+ wrasses though... I am going to need a lot more money!

I have a Jessie A350 with a 20 gallon tank. What's the best setting to keep it on. My tank is new, about 1 1/2 month old
