    Archilles get too big and are very hard to keep. And the second anthias photo looked fake/shopped.

    Yeah, for some reason I had them pegged as a smaller tang, was never really on my radar so I didn't know how much tank they needed till I looked it up! Thx

    What do u think of that wrasse combo?

    I'd say hold off on an Achilies unless you are going bigger than the 90

    Yeah, was confused about their size, not gonna do it, plus I can't imagine catching or getting rid of the YT, he's my lil buddy

    What do you think of a melanarus? I'm afraid it'll eat my feather dusters, but the fact he'll eat all those nuisance critters is cool????????

    I still have TONS of feather dusters. no noticable impact. He ate probably 4000 flatworms in a week. Now make sure you get a male. I heard females get mean, and Hunter confirmed it. Make sure the horizontal stripes are broken up a bit mid-fish. It made my every-tank list for fish.
