I made sure I had the right size tank and got the fish I love. The color yellow is my all time favorite. I hate mean fish that bully other fish, so the yellow tang was no go for me...I LOVE my Lemonpeel Angelfish. The only sadness is that I can keep only one.

 

My other absolute favorite dream fish are Seahorses...I have them in a 56g in my bedroom. Also some tiny bright yellow clown gobies...gotta have something yellow :)

 

I don't need an unlimited amount of money to have the things in life I want....I knew what I wanted, and used the money I worked for to get it. I make sure bills are paid, and the rest is all mine to do what I want with it. My children are grown, I spent the early years of my life making sure they had what they needed and wanted within reason...now my life is my own.

 

LOL...My grandchildren are always pointing out things they want...I tell them to go to school and when they are grown work hard, and they can have anything they need and want out of life...Because your life is what you make it to be.

A 140g is not really all that big...Meowzer was given a 225g and it isn't lucky...you get your education and work hard. You are only limited by your own mind. At your age, you can do anything you put your mind to and just do it. There is no luck, life is what you make it.

 

Physical limtations do exist, and there are plenty of folks who have done the (what others thought) impossible. It is all a matter of your own determination. If you want it bad enough..press on. There are people with no arms that became artists, and folks with no legs running marathons, I watch shows about them all the time. They are regular people who wanted to do something bad enough to overcome the obstacles.

 

Now here you are, perfectly healthy...what can hold you back? Do you want the whole sea??? Become a deep sea diver and live close to the ocean where you can visit your playground all the time. The fish of the sea are like your fish tank, they stake out their territory and once you learn what hangs out where...go visiting, just watch out for jaws and his friends.

 

Who needs a fish tank....You can grow up and make your home in the ocean.....why not? It can be done you know.

I already own some of my dream fish, but here's my list (*=owned)

Dream fish: Achilles Tang, Orange Spotted Filefish*, harem of Resplendent Anthias*, harem of Red Capped Anthias, Borbonious Anthias, Gem Tang, Flame Prawn Goby, Candy Hogfish*, Blue Star Leopard Wrasse*, Potters Dwarf Angelfish, reef safe Copperband Butterfly*, Japanese Dragon Eel, and I have to agree with Bang Guy, a pair of Leafy Sea Dragons would be pretty awesome

Next fish: a female to pair with my male Blue Star Leopard Wrasse and an Achilles or Powder Blue Tang to replace my Yellow Belly Hippo Tang.

I should add this too.

A tank to house a Peacock Mantis Shrimp. I would think that a 30 gallon would work. I think they are very interesting and beautiful.

You're leaving out some details that play a big factor: your tank isn't large enough to house the two.

Really...... I know a couple of people that have both Tangs. You do have to make sure your system is large enough and that you introduce the new one carefully. and the new comer has to be smaller than the other. (should be anyway)
