or is it better to get a flame angel or any type of anthias? or is it better to stay with the wrasse
 
my sixline gets along with my corisse wrasse, but when I tried a fairy, it beat it up and killed it. I found anything with larger fins it did not like.

dam. so should i get the mccosker flasher better? i wanna know cause my lfs is gonna order fish tomorrow.
 
I love my sixline, has lots of character. It all depends what you want, the McCoskers is a beautiful fish also. If you want both, I would probably suggest doing them at the same time, this way neither fish have staked a territory, and will probably then be fine together.

i was thinking of doing that and it work before with my tangs. i had 1 yellow tang and i wanted to add another so i turn off the lights and it work fine. but what worries me is i dont what them to die. it will hurt me alot.it has happened to me before and i dont what it to
. i had my mind on the flame angel but my corals. lol. i guess my only show fish will be the mccosker wrasse
 
Between my 2 tanks, I have gone through 3 flame angels, the last one died last week. I haven't had much luck with them. I do have a potter's angel, very beautiful fish and is not touching my corals. The potter's isn't cheap, but is very unique in color and pattern.

i just checked out the potter angel fish and its really beautiful. do you think it will do good in a 29?
 
If it is going to be the only angel, then there shouldn't be any problems. They are classified as difficult to keep, this is because of trying to get them to eat. So if you find one, have the LFS feed it, if you see it eat, then it should be fine.
I always get the LFS to feed the fish for me to see, will never take one that I don't see eat. I learned the hard way.
