Slipper lobsters can make an interesting addition to reef aquariums. They're not as predatory as some of the true lobsters and they help agitate substrate. This guy is just settling into a client's aquarium.

We are equally thrilled to introduce everyone to our new employee, Hannah! Hannah comes to us from the pet industry and also holds a Bachelor's degree. She keeps fish at home in addition to her dog and cats - an animal lover like the rest of us. Hannah loves learning new things and meeting new people. She enjoys the problem-solving side of aquariums. And Hannah's retail experience has also developed great customer service skills. So we know our clients are going to look forward to her visits to their homes and offices. Rich's Fishes is very proud to welcome our two new staff members and we anticipate great things ahead for them and for the company. Join us in a big "Welcome Aboard" to Hannah!

A few more shots of this 150 before we start onto our next big exciting project. The Val in this aquarium is super- happy. And the Ludwigia is growing well and maintaining its red color. We'll check back on this one in a couple months with an update. Keep an eye out for our next aquarium install project series! It will definitely be an attention-getter.

Shortly after first plants were added. The water got a little turbid with some of the Laterite being disturbed during planting. But it clears quickly.

Clownfish don't always need an anemone to host in. This Clark's clownfish in a client's reef has adopted this whiskers coral (Duncanopsammia).
