R-3 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I know this thread has been done a thousand times, but I dont care. I just lost a pygmy angel and was trying to figure out what to add to my tank. I know theres something out there that someone is thinking about that Im not. I have a percula, yellow watchman and a arabian dottyback. Im not sure what I wanna add. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Go with something larger to become the 'show piece' of the tank! A smaller tang like a tomini or Kole would be cool! Maybe a rabbit/foxface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefgeek84 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Jawfish! My lawn mower blenny is kind of cool...but def. a jawfish.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nu2reef-n Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Dragon Wrasse. Very cool looking fish. The down side is that they sometimes gobble up your inverts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mbeef61 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 shouldnt be too big of a problem with that arabian dottyback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 I was thikin a nice tang like a Kole Mike. Then a small school of chromis. I wanna add one more past that. Hmmmm.... so many to choose from. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbrownies Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 signal gobies, potters angels, and sunburst anthias that would be a sweet combo for a tank too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drock59 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 pinktail, bluejaw or crosshatch trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippin61 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 id say a potters too, but they are so hard to keep alive for some reason. people have problems keeping them alive more then a few months, they just drop dead for no reason. ive only heard of a few people that can keep them long term. I've tried two of them, and they both died. One of them before i even got him outta the bag and even started acclimating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCR Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I like sword fish grilled, Tuna BBQ Halibut, baked red snapper with chopped green onions and fresh romano. Also grilled shark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 R-3 when I move the tank I'll check and see if you want some of my green chromis'. I'll be pulling them for some Sunburst Anthias, (I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 When are ya moving your tank Mike? Yeah keep me informed. Let me know how many! Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippin61 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I've had my Potter's for over 6 months now. he's fat as a pig and doing great. couple people over at RC said they'd have theirs for around 8-9 months.. then BAM.. dead.. for no reason. my other one only lasted a couple months. i wonder why some make it, and some dont? maybe collection methods? glad to hear yours is doing great.. me and my wife both love them. just got me a firefish from joel today.. definately a cool little fishie. just got done acclimating him about 10 minutes ago (think a 6 1/2 hour acclimation is too long? :p ) and right away he was eating, funny to see him try and swim in the high flow areas.. he loves it though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Chevron tang or crosshatch trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Chevrons are one of the coolest fish definately. But at $130-150 range....ouch. CRPC has a nice one in one of there coral tanks. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVES Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Its amazing so many people like crosshatch triggers yet I sit on mine for months and months. Dippin, I hate to say it but I think that is the case for alot of angelfish. Angelfish more than any other seem to randomly kick the bucket without any cause or apperant issue. My potters angels do amazing, but they skip the wholesalers etc so that probably helps. I think thats where Bob got his? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verde_Ad Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 How about a juvi imperatter(SP). I have one and it is very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T---- Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 ive had all sorts of fish, the only one i truely ever loved was my Christmass Wrasse. Some have hard luck, either it eats corals, fights with other wrasses, or is never out, mine was completly opposite, plaed well never nipped at any of my corals or clams, and was always out to show off.
