Come on guys, somebody has to have some experience with these fish??

Originally Posted by crypt keeper cupramine isnt as toxic as most coppers. Like I said earlier I have used it before not knowing what copper does and then had snails and corals in the tank later on. A few months went by. I had to replace all live rock though. I didnt replace the sand and it...

Has anybody out there had luck with Venustus or Purplemasked angelfish? I had heard they were difficult to keep. All the websites list them as moderate. Beautiful little fish seem to be between a dwarf and a large angelfish in terms of size. I was wondering how well they converted to frozen...

Originally Posted by crypt keeper I would not buy a fish with plans to upgrade unless you are honest with yourself. I know I have room to upgrade that is why I bought my emp. I will upgrade when the time is needed out of the 150. If your powder blue is pacing and not swimming around he is...

What do you guys think about butterflies, Semilevartus in or out? Levartus in or out? Whats everybody's vote on fairy wrasses?

Originally Posted by ophiura I guess the other question is what crypt keeper alluded to above... Is it your intent that the fish will be able to live in this tank as full grown fish? Because it really knocks down the large angel idea in my book (but that is me). You guys are both right, and...

Originally Posted by ophiura Yes on the fairy wrasses, open to debate on the tangs. Certainly not generic "tangs" but some, yes. I would stick with bristletooth tangs like Kole, Tomini, Chevron or similar in that footprint. Others would disagree but I've seen too much "pacing" of tanks by...

Originally Posted by ophiura There is absolutely positively no need whatsoever to feed lionfish live food. So that is not a consideration really...fin nippers are though. So it is definitely a matter of identifying what is the (reasonable ) centerpiece fish if that is your approach and going...

Originally Posted by crypt keeper Id do the following. Keeping powder blue. Flame Hawkfish Percula Clownfish Pair BiColor Angel or Flame Angel not both Scribbled angelfish. Call it a tank. Lots of color. Scribbled angel is a more rare angel mot many people have. Think a purple wold fair...

Originally Posted by JGall Can I quarantne a scribbled or mated pair of scribbleds in that 29?? Is the 120 large enough for fairy wrasses such as the Scotts and what about tangs?

Originally Posted by JGall Im really mad now, because I had the opportunity to buy a frineds used 125 setup for about $425 and passed because this 120 looked really nice sitting in my kitchen and didnt take up much space. Can I quarantne a scribbled or mated pair of scribbleds in that 29??

Originally Posted by crypt keeper Id stay away from any large angel. You what you can do is qt any new fish. then add them to the tank. If the Tang accepts them no issues. If you must have one Id look into the scribbled or Blue spotted angel. Im really mad now, because I had the opportunity...

Originally Posted by JGall Hogfish are cool also (really like peppermint/candy striped) Yellow Dogface a possibility? What butterflies if any could be done? Fairy Wrasses instead of Fish Only wrasses if I had a canopy?? What were you thinking on tilefish and what is your experience with...

Originally Posted by JGall There will never be any corals or inverts in there, it was kind of my thinking that I could do corals and inverts in 29 and 65 and use the 120 for fish I couldn't put with corals. I like the idea of a tusk, Wish I could do a queen angel and do other carribean stuff...

Originally Posted by ophiura I don't know about a specific stocklist, but there are a bunch of possibilities I would personally consider if I had a tank that size (and no concerns about any inverts), that was a FOWLR with decent size fish. Hamlet (specifically indigo) Hogfish (probably a...

Originally Posted by Cranberry There are smaller anthias that like being kept in harems. Depending on final stock list, would you be interested in a different species? I am all ears, just like schooling fish and want to be able to keep them had trouble with bartletts in the past. Squarebacks...

Originally Posted by Cranberry Okay... the anthias. Are you willing to go for something a little smaller than a lyretail? I wouldn't have a harem of lyretails in that size tank. I personally feel a harem of lyretails should be more than 3. They will pick on each other too much in that number...

So far we after starting over, I would have a flame angel (mated pair would be really nice), flame hawk, and possibly powder blue and possibly a Blue Girdled Angel.
