Re: complete the missing information

I'm with ski on this, Filamented Flasher Wrasse is a great choice.

Re: A few of my animals

I'm with you on ditching the backing paper, plain black or blue is way more visually appealing.

That tang though, gorgeous! One of my all-time faves, lovely to see one thriving in your tank.

Re: requesting assistance

boxfish can be tank nukers, releasing toxins.

those mini ones are pretty cool though - like the size of a coin, but boxy and weird swimmers.

Re: Keeping a small school of fish


I've gotta say, I find the cardinals a bit dull, they just kinda hover there, not exactly the most exciting sight. Chromis, on the other hand, are always on the move, darting around - much more energetic. You're in a different part of the world, have you thought about a flasher wrasse harem? I've ...

Re: Can someone identify this fish

Another possibility is Naso lopezi, which doesn't develop much of a horn as it matures.

Re: are you aware of this?

fluxx would you really splurge that much cash on the odontanthus when a regal angel fish is literally half the price seems a bit steep. I'm pretty sure someone on this forum bought some pricey deep water wreckfish, anyone remember that?

Re: care and keeping of pygmy angels

Some will, some won't - it really depends on the individual fish. I've heard Flame Angels can be notorious for nipping at corals, but then again, there are people on this forum who have them in a reef tank with no issues. My personal favorite dwarf angel is the Coral Beauty, and they're generally ...

Re: keeping coral beauty and flame angel fish

I agree with floralix, not kyle, since he wasn't mentioned in this thread. Coflake beauties and flame angels do have similar colourings and body shapes. I've also heard that bi-colours and flames mix better, like zeno4 mentioned earlier.

Re: Something's wrong

Good luck with the ich battle. 28-29 degrees worked for me during a whitespot outbreak, and I also fed a lot of garlic-rich food. I've been meaning to try Spirulina, seems like everyone's raving about it, and it's great that it's enriched in brine. Have a great holiday, and when you're back, pop by ...
