Grammica Lined Dartfish (Ace)

[40B Knasty]

I have never read a thread on them and I feel like it is time to give credit where credit it is due. I named him Ace, because he was always my Ace in the hole, literally. A gem of a fish that hid a lot. Don't get me wrong I do have some great fish that I enjoy like a green mandarin, dwarf flame angle, Carberryi Anthias, and a yellow & purple wrasse, but it still amazes me evertime he comes out to be seen. Such a beautiful fish. Ever since I put my anthias in a week ago. He comes out about 20-30 times a day now and this makes me very happy to see him finally at ease and happy. Before it was 2 times only for feeding. Now he hovers in one spot and wiggles his bottom fins like he is dancing. My tanks have been through it all in such a short period of time and Ace has never been affected by anything. Between 2 tank transfers and all sorts of algae outbreaks, cyanobacteria, and parasites. This guy stood tall!
They are a little pricey of a fish. At least when I got him, but well worth it. Such a great tankmate to all my fish. I feel as though he is the overseer of the tank.
They just need a hole to have their alone time in with an entrance and exit out the back. Ace eats like a pig! Whether it is frozen mysis, brine, blood worms, squid, mega marine for angel fish, or even if it is chopped up fresh scallops, live black worms, Tigger pods, or live baby brine shrimp floating around. He eats it all.
The colors on this fish are unbelievable sometimes to me. Hope you enjoy my GLD spotlight

Beautiful fish. I almost bought one a few months ago when there were suddenly quite a few around. Next time I see one, I'm not passing!

Good deal. Mine was $128 without the taxes. I seen one for $70. Those two are actually the only 2 I have ever seen in the 2 years of being in the hobby and I have been to every LFS in New England and few in PA & OH.
