Re: setting up my 3-foot marine tank

Only a newbie myself, but from my limited experience, you've probably added too many fish at once - I'm sure someone else will clarify this for you.

Re: keeping coral beauty fish: experiences and advice

Looks like this dwarf angel has won over a lot of hearts here, I was actually planning on getting a royal gramma but the looks of this one completely changed my mind

Re: keeping coral beauty fish: experiences and advice

He's absolutely stunning and to be honest looking at him now I'm glad he's a bit of a rock dweller, it adds to the mystique of the whole setup.

Re: keeping coral beauty fish: experiences and advice

Cheers Ben

He doesn't spend that much time out in the open yet, still getting used to his new surroundings I suppose. Looks lovely though when he does venture out.
