Going to be adding a new fish, opinions?

I'm not too concerned about adding a mandarin, I do have a refugium and my tanks been up for about 2 years. I did just get another idea, perhaps a dward angel, flame or coral beauty?

 

ive got both of them guitarman. yup together in a reef. lol, theyre great fish too. i like the flame better because of its colors and look. cant go wrong either way .

 

All very nice choices. The Flame and Mandarin are hard to pass up with a mature tank.

Here is my unhelpful suggestion. Upgrade your tank to a 300 gal and get them ALL!!!!!!!! My wife's greatest fear.... and she will eventually be right.

If only I had the resources...

Well I guess the next step instead of just thinking about what fish to get is to go the lfs, trade in some corals and see what they have.

 

Me too.

 

That's what I'm leaning towards too. I just need to finish covering my tank. I have half of it covered in acrylic with holes drilled into for circulation. I have a piece of acrylic, just need to cut it to shape.

 

That is really the only reason I don't have a gaggle of wrasses in my 200g. I have not yet made my "cage" to keep them in, or made a mesh cover.

 

Well I got back from the lfs and I got $45 in store credit. So I picked up a McCosker's flasher wrasse, I nice specimen, he was eating at the store. However, he is hiding right now after being chased by my clown, tang and damsel. Hopefully the aggression will ease up as they get used to him. I will see how it goes. I had a very hard decision to make. The lfs also had a really nice yellow tail tamarin wrasse. It's a rarer wrasse that is hard to get b/c it ships very poorly. They had it for a week, which was a good sign and they fed it in front of me, but it eat a little, but not much and didn't seem too interested in the frozen food. One issue with these wrasses is that they eat amphiopods on the rock and are difficult to get to eat frozen food. So while it was a great looking fish, I decided to go with the McCoskers which also doesn't get as big. Here's a link to the Yellow tail tamarin wrasse.

congrats guitarman. been alot of people gettin mccoskers here recently. look forward to seeing yours

 

Yea, he's hiding in a little cave now, he was being chased around by one of my clowns, my yellow tailed damsel and a little by my tang. I plan on seeing how it is tomorrow, and if it's still bad, I'm going to rearrange my rock work. I kind of don't want to as I like my current aquascape, but I don't have anything to do so it will be a nice little project.
