just so confused on fish choice

I thought that might persuade you otherwise ;)
 
salty i feel your pain. only if they had smaller blue hippo/power tangs =(

i was going for anthias first, but they need atleast 6 months to mature, i couldnt wait. :rolleyes: so i end up going for different kinds of wrasses instead. it adds colors, many personality with alot of swimming

Wrasses are a hard bunch to mix and get a peaceful group though. I like wrasses because of the huge variety.. but they seem to lean a little more towards the aggressive side than I care for. Not all, but enough of the nice ones where you can't mix 4-5 really different colorful ones without fighting.

Anthias.. learned by watching my neighbor.. need a 125G tank minimum. I wouldn't have thought that by looking at the fish.. but seeing it dead within a month and never appearing happy in a 75G was proof enough for me that what it says online about tank size is the truth.
 
I was reading the post and two small angels in one tank can be done?

I have my 135 cycled now and wanted to add two angels, one flame and one coral beauty. Going to do it in about 6 months. Everything I read says no.

This Hobby is absolutley fascinating with all the new advances. I used to keep saltwater in the 70's.

Can you actually keep these in my tank. I have 200lbs of live rock with plenty of places to hide. I guess I will get my son to show me how to host some pics.

I am taking my sweet time before I add anything.

I may even convert my wife to the hobby. She loves the live rock and discovering something new in the tank.
 
I almost bought a Midas blenny this week, but after doing some reading it sounded like it would be beating up on my firefish, which was no good so I skipped it. I got a scissortail dartfish though, which I think is a very cool fish. You said your royal gramma was beating up on your firefish? I'll have to keep an eye out because I have a RG in QT right now.
