Inspired by another thread!

Nice pics, you should post some more!
Love the color coming off your mag, I have been rehabbing a bleached one that is doing well, but not quite full color yet.
My picasso's are a year behind ya.
I need a better lens, what are you shooting with?

Well of course my babies have been displayed already, and I'll only get 2nd at best at this point in both time kept and presently keeping, or in pics, but I figure lets get this post back on track a little, so here goes my baby picasso's from donisreef.
May 10 this year makes exactly 5 years since I took delivery.
They have a special sentimental value to me.
After a bad accident that forced me to sell my prized 180g that was TOTM at my local club, some good friends in that club helped me get back in.
These fish are a reminder to me, sometimes being good to people and helping out is remembered and comes back when least expected.
I will never sell these fish ever(and I've been asked a number of times)
Here's when I first got them.

And here they are today

That development is crazy! Crazy how they almost just looked like misbars at first! Beautiful clowns. And I can relate to the sentimental part behind fish.

Thanks, it actually gets better I was trying to keep short.
My friend gave me a skimmer, it was really too big, so down the road I had it posted for sale on that other site.
Someone offered a trade, but I really needed only money, and joked that I would take a nice pair of clowns, and even said that most likely won't happen, next post was doni from donisreef, offered me two of her best hand picked clowns in trade for that skimmer.
I was broke as a joke, but a $500 pair of clowns were on my porch the next morning!lol
Yeah, I call them my good karma fish.
Later I repaid that friend w/ a brand new Solana complete setup.

WOW THATS AMAZING!
we were donated a full setup from Marineland after hurricane sandy took our home, and an amazing assortment of corals from a few key R2R members and JoeKnowsReefs. This community of reefers is truly amazing
