Hey Andrew,
I have glass top and a cannopy, but the tops don't really fit and it's a hassle to get to the tank, do you think if I put mesh on the back and over flows I could get rid of the glass and not lose my SFE?
Thanks,
ED
I think your underestimating the mantis. With a tank mate that barely even moves the Mantis is more then likely to get it. I don't think the size would make that much of a diference. Mantis shrimp have been know to kill six inch clown triggers, so an agler should be easy.
It probably died because it was stressed in the 55, Bambbos should be keept in at least a 180 IMO. Both the pork and Niger will be stressed in the 55 also.
I wouldn't put an angler with a puffer, most anglers are better off in a tank by themselves. How about a lion, puffer, and a Snow Flake Eel, those three would work out nicely.
Tesses are one of the more aggressive eel species, I would bet that your clown tang and coral beauty are going to end up being eel snacks if this has already began, tesses are notorious fish eaters.
Was one male and the other female? If not then you have me stumped, maybe the ones from Hawaii look better. Like harlequin tusk's from Australia, not completely sure:notsure:
