A Sad Day

Thanks for the kind thoughts guys. I had a flame angel a while back that didn't nip at my corals. I know that can vary. I may try another small hippo and flame in time. Do you know what types of coral dwarf angels pick on? Thanks!!!!

what about a flasher wrasse? active and have great coloring. and so many different types. and of the foxfaces id stay away from, they get big and quick. my 1 spots gone from 3 inches to almost 6 in almost a year. and the tangs too , hate gettin attached to them and have to get rid of them because of size.

 

Take a look at a Midas Blenny. Great looking fish, lots of color, always swimming, reef safe and not expensive.

 

That is tremendous growth!!!! I had my tang for about 7 months and it hadn't grown too much. I will look into the midas blenny. It does look good and I like the color. Thanks!!!

 

Heres the description;


The Midas Blenny is an excellent candidate for a reef tank. It is a beautiful, deep golden-yellow with a shadow of blue under the chin and bright, blue-rimmed eyes. When swimming, the motion they use is very eel-like.

This blenny will appreciate a minimum tank of 30 gallons or larger with numerous rocks on which to perch. Sometimes, the Midas Blenny will vex small planktivores and has been known to nip at firefish and gobies. Larger tanks are advantageous as many of the Midas Blenny's aggressive behavior traits seem to relate to a confining tank situation. Unlike most blennies, the Midas Blenny requires a meaty diet including finely chopped crustacean flesh, mysis and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, along with frozen herbivorous preparations, micro and blue-green algae

 

thats an excellent suggestion luna. never thought of that type

 

Thanks for the suggestion and the information. I don't know that I have seen one at the LFS. Thanks again for the suggestion. I will keep my eyes open.'

Oh midas blenny are really neat fish! Great color and really interesting swimming style. It's on my wish list for my 90. Really do consider one!
