Angels vs. coral - help

[klo]

I have some mushrooms and polyps. I really want an angel.
Can I have any of the following and not worry about my coral?
Cherub
Bicolor
Lomonpeel
Flame
Potter's

I have no idea:hilarious

It all depends on the individual fish, but most of the dwarf angels will behave in a reef.
Your shrooms will be OK - polyps maybe not.

I have a flame angel with some leathers and mushrooms... So far so good...
My LFS guy says that it's literally a "flip of the coin"... He recommended making sure that the angel was well fed for a while and I'd have a better chance...
Now the Flame pretty much ignores them.

JnC, what fish store you go to?

 

[jnc]

Northside Aquatics in Morgan/Maumelle...
Informally known as:

Three Guys in a fish Tank
Not your momma's fish store
Good bunch of guys... Hobbiests gone profession... They know their stuff!

 

[jmg]

wonder how long a drive that is... you got their addy?

 

[jnc]

It's about an hour from you...
Go to Little Rock
Take I-430 North to I-40
Head for Fort Smith
First exit after you get on I-40 (Morgan/Maumelle)
www.nsaquatics.com
They've got a map on their page. Their page sucks and they know it but they're working on it...
I've been to Marine World. I found it a bit expensive, but the guy there DOES know his stuff. NSA on the other hand, I'm impressed on both counts.

dang wish i wouldnt have to travel through little rock lol i always get lost there... not used to drivin bigger cities
sorry for stealin this thread. i wanna go there sometime though. yea lynn knows his stuff cause hes been doin it for 36 years or so...

 

[jnc]

Yeah... Sorry about the thread.
NSA has odd hours... These guys have real jobs too and just do this on the side. They do it well... I think their hours are something like this:
Tues - 5:30-8pm (Fish Day)
Thurs - 5:30-8pm (Equipment/some fish Day)
Fri - 5:30-8pm
Sat - 10-8pm (I think?)
You "could" come up Hwy 7 to Russellville and come back toward Little Rock on I-40. It'd prolly be a bit longer of a drive though.

My koran angel never touches my shrooms but eats all my snails. They have a mind of their own.

Also I would recommend hanging some Seaweed select on a clip in your tank so it will eat it instead of the corals.

My Lemonpeel is like a cow. He grazes on EVERYTHING! Lemonpeels are very curious and will nip at everything! I had mushrooms and ricordea. They are gone, except one mushroom that made his way under the rocks. It doesnt matter how much you feed him, it is natural for him to nip all day long. You can put as much macro-algae and seaweed in as you want, it will not help. However, I bought some hard coral frags, and he nipped at them once, and that was it. This is my experience with my peel.
