Re: comparing shops

Thanks for the info Seffie, I think I'll give Coventry Aquatics a go instead then.

Re: comparing shops

Hi Tom, I was planning to visit Shirley Aquatics on Saturday, but after reading your post, I'm having second thoughts. How was your experience with them, was it just a one-off or do you think they're generally not up to par? I was also considering Coventry Aquatics, have you tried them before?

Re: new fish additions

I've been watching my tank and it seems the Goby's the only one with a territory - he's got his little cave and chases Hellie away whenever he comes near, quite funny to watch, actually.

I do still like the idea of the Flameback or Pygmy, but I could always go back to thinking about a Kaudern's ...

Re: new fish additions

Been having a look around and I'm curious about the Pygmy Angelfish, the Cherub one. Had any experience with these? Similar colours to the Flameback but a bit smaller, which got me thinking maybe I could squeeze in another small fish, but you guys know better than me.

Re: new fish additions

I'll look into the Flameback Angelfish then, think that'll be my limit for fish. Would've liked one more but gotta resist.

Thanks for all the help, fingers crossed the LFS in Coventry will be good and I might have a new addition to show soon.

Big C, how was your experience with the Flameback in ...

Re: new fish additions

I'm well aware I've got limitations with the type of fish I can keep, knew that before buying the tank. The Flameback Angelfish has caught my eye, and according to Live Aquaria's compatibility chart, it should get on with my current lot. Will be visiting a new LFS in Coventry on Saturday, so I'll ...

Re: new fish additions


You'll likely have space for one more fish, provided you keep up with regular maintenance. However, I'd advise against adding more gobies if you're looking for open water swimmers - they tend to prefer perching between rocks, especially without Acropora in the tank.

The Flame Angel might be a bit ...

Re: new fish additions

I'll start digging into some research. The flame angel does seem a bit too big for my tank, I had a feeling that might be the case. I like the idea of having something for every level of the tank, even though it's not massive, I think it'll create a nice visual effect. Any other suggestions are more ...

new fish additions

Hi all, I've got an Orca 550 tank with 2 common clowns, a Flame Hawkfish, and a sulphur goby. I'm thinking of adding another fish, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea - I'm guessing two might be a stretch. The options I'm considering are:

A Flame Angel, but I think it might be too big for my tank ...
