Nice tank! What is the blue fish with yellow sides in the bottom picture?

The blue fish with the yellow sides is a Protomelas Steveni 'Taiwan Reef'. His blushing bride is in the foreground dead center of the same shot.
The giant blue fish in the front of the other picture is the spilonotus. I am selling spilonotus fry BTW :wink:

Ooops. I overlooked the characteristic red anal fin in the second photo, and I thought the yellow on his side was actually part of a plant. :lol:

that's OK, the fish is not offended :wink:
He probably *wishes* he was a spilonotus :rofl:
