I should have clarified my first sentence. PB has been in my tank for almost 2 months with my coral beauty. The new tankmates are the trigger and the angel. ( and a lion, but NO ONE messes with the lion, he's a baby too 4")

Just added new tankmates to my 150 gal. this weekend. PB is about 6" and Koran is about 4- 4.5". At first PB didn't like this AT ALL! He has his caves picked out an the koran found one that the PB couldn't get into. Thank goodness. Now, the angel will swim out and around the tank but if he gets...

Had to go searching for your FAT emperor pic LOL. I just love him! I'd like to know what you feed him? I have read that their beauty can fade if they don't receive proper diet. I haven't purchased him yet, but would like to do my homework first. Specific products would be appreciated. Thanks.

BCarp, I just had the exact same experience. Have a 150 gal, thought I could have a YT and a PB together. Hah! The YT was adorable .....(looking) then I see him beating the #ell out of my PB. Got so angry I turned my 5gal pail into an instant-QT so the little "devil" could sit their until he...

I have a yellow tang and a powder-blue in my 150 gal FO. Although I have noticed a difference in the amount of room the PB rquire compared to the yellow, I wouldn't recommend keeping a yellow in 30gal (approx.) I hate to bring bad news, but they LOVE swim through their caves and "doing laps" ;)...

This seems like such a contraversial question around here. First, I have NEVER heard of 1" per 10 gal. You didn't mention whether you are going FO (fish only) or reef. Which makes a BIG difference. I don't think I can mention which site my info is from but your first response from Lionsohmy has...

Thanks Peasly, That is a good idea. Will he definately turn brown with the horizontal lines as an adult? How old will he be when this change happens, and how long will this fish live? So many questions...<wink> but thanks in advance!

I am starting my 150gal in the spring. Here is my colorful mix (so far. I may change my mind AGAIN:> )): With my Powder blue and possibly a purple tang I will have: 1 foxface 1 flame angel 2 perc. clowns 1 royal gramma Like you, I will have a fish-only tank, therefore we can have 1" of fish per...

Nevurrmore, you've made my day!!!! Thank you so much, that's him! Now, how do I find out how big he will get? Would it be somewhere aroung 12"? How do I specify THAT fish and not the Annularis juv. (in the pic below it)?

Thank you for the responses! Please (I hope you can) tell me the site where I can see this angel. I love it! It would add fantastic color to any tank. I'm not too fond of brown but this fish was so intruiging I want to know if my LFS can get one, but need to know it's correct name. Thank you again!

I would just like to comment on the inches per fish. (Alot of people say 1" per 5 gals.) I think you ARE on the right track. I don't think I can say the site I got my info from..but, the comment was: 1" per 2 gals. for a fish-only tank (with good filtration) 1" per 5 gals. for a REEF tank. I...

I saw a fish yesterday that was brown with blue stripes through it. It looked like an angel, but I can't find it on any site. Does anyone own one of these or know what it is? Thank in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess I should have mentioned the clean-up crew I hope to get. 2 cleaner shrimp, 1 banded shrimp, blue-legged hermit, undecided about snails.(don't want any dreaded infestation...???) Because of the tangs (I LOVE these fish, and the fact the PB will cost over $100...

Has anyone found a neon-goby to be as effective for parasite removal as a cleaner wrasse? I was told that a wrasse will "bite" the parasites off the fish, causing slight stress. But also the fact that they DIE, no one can keep them more than 3 months. (Is this true? In comparison to the neon...

I have not set up my tank yet, but I am curious about how effective this method of parasite removal is. I have read some claiming 5 min. dip is sufficient, others say 10-25 minutes. Any thoughts???? I know I should probably just set-up a hosp. tank but I don't know what to do for sure. I have an...

I will be setting up a 150 FO, with 2 tangs , foxface, flame angel, 2 perc. clowns, and MAYBE a royal gramma. What I am wondering is how much is TOO MUCH?(for a clean-up crew) Many of these fish eat algae, so I don't want to remove all of it...??..Will the cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs bother...

How much of a concentration do you need? What oil do you use to dilute it to be able to "soak" it? Thanks.

I previously posted about keeping 2 tangs in a 150gal. FO tank. Which i was glad to hear is possible...but now my fellow hobbyists..:> ).....I would love to hear from those who have had sucess with keeping 2 pygmy angels in this size of a tank. Heard it was poss. but would like to hear from...

Thank you so much for your replies!! I'm glad to hear some sucess stories. Especially the fact that they have gotten along with another tang. Would love to hear from more. thanks again!
