Alex's 125 (Wet lit and 95% done post #3 fts)

I concur.

 

Lol I dont know where my camera is and he is a little skittish so far. I'm just letting him chill until he become comfortable with me. I also finished my screen tops since its like a real tank now. All it need is CORAL!!!!!! What?

I did make sure to bring all my food to the LFS and make sure he was eating pellets flakes and frozen. They had a tine darker CB i think might have been a deepwater but it sold yesterday, this guy will do I think. Now I need a regal and a scribbed.... im getting all angel crazy.

 

Potters.

This concept of bringing fish food to the fish store to see if the fish you want will eat is new to me. Cool.

 

I do want a potter's WRASSE but the dwarf angel is more aggressive and less coral safe-ish from what I've garnered. Unfortunately I thik my tank is too small for the Chaetodontoplus duboulayi but they are so pretty!

 

Hmm I did not know the dwarfs are prone to be more aggressive. You're just a wealth of knowledge today.

I have always wanted a Lemon Peel Centropyge flavissima (getting all fancy and relearning my names) but man they are mean little buggers. Beautiful fish though.

 

This is a pretty solid article The Pygmy Angelfishes by James Fatherree - Reefkeeping.com I did, like a crap ton of research on these over the past couple years trying to convince myself to put one in my 125g. I always chickened out because I am getting nice LPS again.

Also, I was pretty caught up in the last deepwater angel expedition and boned up on my stuff to follow a couple threads. RHM had a nice article on C/P. boylei I read this morning.

 

Ok so its straight up happening. Fish. Recent addition black ice clow and then I got a great deal on some Red Sea Eight Line Flashers. I knew they were something special when I saw them mislabeled at my LFS, the owner gave me a break on buying all three. One is pretty rough, super stressed from the PBT and butterfly in the tank, but the other two look great.

 

Well congrats Alex!!!!! Damn PBT..

 

I dont think such a mean nasty fish should be so pretty. Ashley and I sat there for about 5 minutes trying to collectively forget how one killed 3 tangs and almost my yellow tail damsel in 36hours.

 

You must really like the fish, because that fish would be taking a trip to the local fish store or I would not introduce any other fish to the tank. Really a shame with such a large tank that you have to worry about rouge fish. I do not know, maybe another bully is waiting in the wings once you remove the tang!!!The pretty is to lull you into complacency.
