    weeeeeeeeeak lol. Yeah they are pricey. I think PIA had 3 for 599 but still i see where you are. I just about lost it for my poor mans black tang, but the alternative was a second mortgage for a gem tang lol. Sadly my LFS FINALLY got in purple tangs, 5 months too late.

    yeah, if I lost a $200-300 fish, I'd go ape;) But that wrasse is sweet, I think I'll wait for another of those. I love Blackbeard( thats what you called it, i think), great tang. I'd love to get another Tang, but my YT is very protective of my chromis, and I think another big fish would give him Ich again. Maybe when I upgrade to a 220 next year;)

    i think thats for that best. Zebrasoma tangs can get to be some of the more aggressive and territorial fish.

    The Red Velvets are pretty aggressive for a fairy; almost always doesn't play well with other fairys, especially if it's in the tank first. Just food for thought.

    AWESOME evolved, I can deal with 1 wrasse and not multiple, especially if it looks like that;)
