Hi Skyman! I'm not into agressives, but I do have one comment about your setup. The TV above the tank might not be the best way to go. Saltwater evaporation could find you replacing that equipment in short order. :scared: Also in my opinion, black sand will detract from the tank. White sand...

It is a shame you did not ask this question before you got your lionfish. If your lionfish is a dwarf (we hope) then your tank is a squeeze for him when he is full grown ( 5 or 6 inches). He will eat fish smaller than himself, and you don't really have the room to get another fish that will...

and mine

Also just googled the meaning of humuhumunukunukuapua'a and it means "trigger fish with a pig like snout". Perhaps that name applies to any trigger native to the Hawaiian waters?

Had to share.. I bought this TShirt for my oldest daughter when we lived there in Maui about, oh, 20 years ( :scared: ) ago. I had no idea that the fish had fallen out of favor as the "State Fish"! And, consequently, no idea it had been reinstated. I find it funny the coloring this artist chose...

You can also try rearranging your rockwork to remove the clown's comfort zone. (Do this while you are acclimating the new guy.) Be sure there are places for both fish to hide for a while. Leave the lights off when you add the new one in, overnight is fine. When they come back out, the clown will...

Originally Posted by thefishy Will have to check them out. have you had any probs with them being aggresive?> The fairy wrasse was not aggressive. Very nice fish. Whip fin fairys, like the pennant fairy and some filimented will not get very large. Some other wrasse species will. What size is...

Originally Posted by ROYAL GANG ugh then a freaking six-line wrasse :mad: Many species of wrasse will eat the bristles and also flatworms. Look on this site, I had what SWF.com calls a Pennant Fairy wrasse. Beautiful, social fish and did a great job on the bristles. I currently have 2 cigar...

...they also breed quite well in a canister filter sleeve! I hate to clean the canister for that very reason. Also for that very reason, today when I clean the can. I will not be replacing the sleeve, but will be adding seagrass, another great breeding ground that I won't eventually have to...

Well, it's about a 36% change, if you use ALL from the 125. I would agree with dmjordan. If you keep all changes within that % range. What a great moment, though! If you have kept these fish for 4 years, I'm sure they are healthy and ready for the move.

What other fish do you have currently?

I grabbed a rock and must have surprised a bristle, this was about 2 weeks ago. When I held my finger to the light, we could see the bristles stuck there. It was painful for a week! A lot like touching a lotus tree branch.
