    Clown Tangs are one of, if not the most aggressive fish I have seen in this hobby. Stay far, far away from them unless you have a 1000+ gallon tank.

    Unfortunately, Sohal's are not far behind. Once mature, they will likely not allow another new tankmate, and can go after existing fish as well wreaking all sorts of havoc...

    I was not the one who wanted the clown tang civiccars2003 was I was just saying it is cool(meaning attractive). As far as the Sohal again just saying it is pretty. Neither 1 would be appropriate for my tank as it is far to small. Think both those suggested minimum size is 250gal so really did not look into them nor was I suggesting it.

    But the info you provided may be useful to civiccars2003 in their search

    Sorry Chris, I should have quoted his post as well. The post was aimed at the OP, not you :) Although the Sohal comment was for you ;)

    My 55 was moved into the 220 today. It went very smooth. My B&W clowns found my RBTA very quickly.

    HOW does this happen so quickly for many! I'm going on 2 months with absolutely no interest between my B &W's and my RBTA!

    I'm just jealous civic, so happy that all went smoothly for you and that your nem is hosting! You've put a lot of hard work into your set up and deserve it to go smoothly!!

    I saw that and thought of thin plastic sheeting and can attach 1/8" x 1 ('or so) x whatever length you need plastic rectangles at the top & bottom to hold it in. The sheeting comes in different colors or clear so can make your own or in a mirror type, I was thinking of doing it so I could change the background to suit my mood.

    I need a background asap. Tank is a bit cloudy still. All livestock are accounted for. As of now, I havent lost anything due to the move.
