wanna trade?

Thanks guys, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this new camera. Shooting fish with it is really quite a challange.

nopatience, while I like CB's I think I'll stick with my flame I have thought about getting a CB as well but I don't know if they would fight to much. My Flame is a little flaky, and attacks my Maroon Clown a lot.

im sure they would battle.
im kind of nervous because the CB is my only fish since cycled.
im not exactly sure but he has been in close to a month.
so i am sure he is gonna slap whichever fish i get next around the tank. he tries to run me off if i get to close to the glass.tries to swell up and look mean.actually the reason i havent gotten another fish is because i have had bad luck with CB's in the past being bullied themselves.so im stuck. this is a slow coming reef.
any suggestions?

well instead of adding just 1 new fish you could try adding 2 or 3 new fish at once. This way if the CB does want to bully someone the violence can be distributed over 3 fish, instead of just 1 new fish getting the brunt of the assult... That might work.

coral beautys and flame angels cant be put in the same tank?

I've seen people do it, I've thought of trying it myself, because I have a fairly big tank, but... The odds of them fighting and hurting one another may not be worth the risk. Most angelfish with fight with one another.

so, if i wanted to put a flame angel and a coral beauty in my 75 gal, that would be no good?

Personally, I wouldn't risk it. I thought about trying the same thing in my 100, but decided against it after talking to other people who were unsuccessful with it.
