    Disagree strongly, but then again i wouldn't put a shark in a 125 either.

    I've had no problems so what's the big deal alex? No need to be rude like I'm doing something wrong. My tanks are great and because you would do something different doesn't mean it's the "correct" way. I've had no problems with dwarf angels at all. Next I guess you would say NEVER mix dwarf angels but todd sails has kept 3 in his reef together but I guess you would disagree to that too huh? Your way isn't the only correct way alex and my shark is doing great, thanks. And since your so concerned I'll put him in a bigger tank when needed but I already covered that in an earlier thread. OP, do research and figure out what's best for you. A lot of opinions from people are from a book they've read then tell everyone that's exactly how it's supposed to be. I'm just giving you first hand experience with my tanks.

    I like Liveaquaria.com for generalizations regarding husbandry and min tank size. I tend to think that Liveaquaria pushes the min tank size sometimes but not dangerously so.

    Dwarf Angelfish: Flame Angelfish and other Dwarf Angels


    For a 55 gallon I tend to lean more toward the show case coral/or invert.

    I also the like Midas Blenny and the smaller wrasses. I like the Yellow Tail Damsels as well for adding tons of color and activity.

    I've been getting into wrasses, A lot of really nice choices on colors.

    Liveaquaria tells me not to mix my Malamute and a flame angel in same tank. Seems reasonable.
    :)

    Just a little fun on a Friday ;D

    I have a father/daughter dance tonight. My girls are 4&5. Oh boy.

    Check that.
    Liveaquaria tells me not to mix my 4&5 year in same location for fear of fighting. That's more in line.

    I don't take anything to heart from LA lol, trust as I mentioned before in my thread I do research, cross reference and talk to reputable people. I wasn't planning on getting a radiant wrasse. We actually just got a diamond goby today! I have learned alot from this thread, that's for sure!
