How do you know if your picking a nice one? Tell me your secrets. I have I like the magnificent foxface I plan to get one eventually.

The saddle wrasse looks pretty interesting I'm gonna look into keeping one. I'm curious how do you keep a clown trigger from killing its tank mates?

I've thought about a clown trigger but I've heard a lot of horror stories about them plus I'd probably add him last if I were to get one. I haven't really looked into wrasses all that much is there a particular wrasse you'd recommend

Yeah but I don't know if I want a football sized puffer swimming around my tank. But I'm open to other fish suggestions.

Well I have a red tail trigger, yellow tang, lieutenant tang and a pair of clownfish right now they're all very aggressive and fast eaters

I wouldn't unless you have really good reason to.

Hmm I might have to pass on the puffer for now I don't think my fish would let him eat

That might be a problem then. What fish did you have with it?

I'd be more worried about the triggers hurting the shrimp or each other.

Does anyone have any experience with any of the toby puffers I've heard they nip coral but that's not really an issue since it will be kept in a fish only tank I've also heard they might nip tank mates is this common? Does one puffer have more of rep for nipping fish than the other puffers?

It looked pretty much the same day or night usually when he gets stressed his whole body will turn dark. Right now the marks are basically gone.

He doesn't have any parasites that I can see and the only thing I changed was the addition of prazipro so could it have been flukes or some kind of worms?

He really is I'd say he's over 1/4" wide I've never seen such a small tang be so wide. But back to the dark marks I dosed some prazi Monday night and this morning he looks 90% better so maybe flukes?

I agree hypo is probably the best method for ich but like you said in a QT I feel like this stuff would be a great preventative for more than ich and I'm just assuming it's not as hard on the fish as copper?

I know its about as reef safe as hypo and copper so not at all.

I've been doing some reading on fish parasites and ways to kill the parasite and I came across chloroquine phosphate which seems like something that would useful to have handy. It claims to kill ich, velvet, brooklynella and uronema so if it kills all that why is no recommending it?

I would but I honestly think he might himself to death he's extremely wide a little fish

He probably eats 1/4 sheet of algae a day

Yeah that should be a great home for him.

I'm just curious what shark are you planning to keep?
