ever since i redid my tank to the 90, there's a lot more room in the back of the tank because of the way i had to reaquascape around the darn RR overflow. so, now everything is hiding behind my rock wall and only come out for food or like when the tang is following the CB, or CB chasing the tang. with about 140lbs of rock in there, the buggers have a lot of room to hide as well.
so yea, it definitely was tough to get this pic. hopefully people like it when it comes to the polls :)

Ok, I know fish are not supposed to have "emotions" or "feelings", but the expression on that fish is priceless.
Great shot Renogaw!

In all seriousness... do you think that I could get one of those for my 29 gallon Biocube? Bad idea?? My sixline has gotten very big and has started diving down and stealing food from my little scooter blenny, so I'm taking him to the LFS for credit and was hoping to get some type of dwarf angel as a replacement. Was thinking about a cherub/pygmy angel, but then I saw this... too big for a 29??

Thanks for the advice! That's exactly what I wanted to know.

Hmmm.... now I gotta think of something else!

Both are great suggestions! I'll be exchanging my percula clownfish for a misbar pair (whenever they decide to get to my LFS!) and my sixline for something else.
I have a fire shrimp that is spoiled rotten, so will the hawkfish pick on that? I am keeping my bicolor blenny and scooter blenny because they are my favorites and are both very peaceful fish and never bother anything. I just might consider that little clown goby. :) Wait... I'm not supposed to mix blenny's and goby's, right?
