A couple of months ago, I remember thinking, "Wow, wouldn't it be cool if we did tropical fish for the summer pets? That would be AWESOME! I should suggest it." Well, I never got around to suggesting it but IT HAPPENED ANYWAY. You have no idea how happy this makes me I am such a huge nerd for tropical fish. So without further ado...

All pets shown as three-vis.

Angelfish aeridini:


Based on the coral beauty angelfish (one of the many fish I want to have someday when I've got time and resources for a saltwater tank). Link to one of the reference pictures here: http://www.reeftime.com/profiles/dwarf-angel-fish/coral-beauty/100011.htm

Fairy Wrasse Nephini:




Based on Scott's Fairy Wrasse. This one was kinda hard to get right. I might switch it for a different subspecies later; there are a bunch of fairy wrasses out there and I bet a few of them have colors that are much easier to work with. The upside of this, though, is that it's rather unique; a lot of past themed nephinis used pastels in their designs, and this one departs from that with darker blues and reds with a bit of black.

Lion's Paw Scallop Lighira:



Reference: All of them? I really used a lot of different images but this one was most influential. http://www.qualityshells.com/polished-lions-paw-seashells.html

Sea Anemone Puffadore:



Reference: https://www.flickr.com/photos/fjordblick/3803568115

I just have to say that it was really, really hard to base the puffadore design off of a mostly red and pink anemone and not have it look like meat. It looked like flesh for a really, really long time and I hope it doesn't anymore. That's where the yellows and oranges come in (which I might have borrowed from other reference photos), because nobody wants a puffadore that looks like flesh.

Really sorry about that >.< Thanks for telling me!

Thanks you! I really loved all of yours :3

Ok so I feel like I'm being such a pain in the butt and it's probably obvious but how do I delete my posts? Really sorry, I should have just put them all in one in the first place >.<

You can't delete a post. only an admin can.
What you can do is edit your posts, and put all your images in the first one, then the rest you can write something like "deleted" or "placed all images in first post" or something, since you need to write something to be able to edit your post.

Here are my submissions:

This was fun!!! IF any of mine get picked I'm hoping that it's either my Aeri, Neph, or Ligh(cause they are my favorites of the submissions I made).

Anyone else like any of mine? Just curious.

I really like your Aeridini and your Nephini c:

Thanks. ^.^
