    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I got to agree with Kevin.

    Your chances of getting a healthy specimen increase greatly and it's already QT'd.

    Go with what your comfortable with, but DD's QT process is awesome and when dropping that much money on a fish, the 14 day guarantee is great. Plus the make sure its eating a varied diet before selling. And there is the shipping cost, but i find that if ya get a few other things, like corals or inverts, the average price per specimen is right in line with any LFS, especially when considering quality and guarantee.;)

    So would you say they are very similar in care? Many sources state that the CB is one of the easiest of all angels to care for while the potters is more difficult and recommended for advanced aquarist only.

    Also how old would you say a tank should be before adding a dwarf angel? Been cycled close to a month and has had 2 clowns for over 3 weeks. and am past the diatom stage but still awaiting growth of corraline algae.
