Need advice on buying a fish

Some Wrasses are aggressive and pick at the coral. I have always kept a Coral Beauty. They have not bothered any coral.

It would be a good idea to research some fish on vendor websites.Pick out a few that will suit your tank well and you like.That way when you shop your lfs you'll know what your looking for.If they don't have any of your choices,ask wnen the next shipment is due and tell them what your looking for,they might just order some.Don't buy on impulse just to get something,you could end up with something you don't really want and regret it.

 

I wouldnt buy a fish on impulse thats why I never came home with one lol. I'll take a look at wrasse when I get home and find some I like. Anyone know the name of the fish that looks like an emporer angel?

 

I think the fish your asking about is the Koran angel,beautiful fish,also not reef safe...bummer I know.If you would like info on wrasses look on Liveaquaria.com,they list reef safe and non reef safe as seperate categories.If you would like to look at another tang one of the bristletooth ones might be good for your tank,the Kole tang and Tomini tang are both good looking fish.They also are pretty docile and would probably be ok in your 90 for a long time...and they're great algae cleaners.Hope this helps,Dave

 

Heh my Naso was supposed to be a good algae eater and for a while she ate only mysis shrimp till i cut back on the feeding a lot and started keeping some live macro in there all the time. Now I see her graze on it all the time.

 

Bristle tooth tangs are different becuase of they're mouths,they would rather pick off of the rocks and gless than eat nori,but they will all go for the mysis if it's availible...easy meal.

 

saw you were thinking about a wrasse, i just got my first one today a McCoskers Flasher and so far i am in love, he's my avatar

 

I saw that one when I was looking and the leopard wrasse looks nice too. The bristletooth tang looks alright too...not the prettiest of tangs but still nice.

 

potters angel, blue tang, kole tang, purple tange(maybe)
i like smaller fish, even in larger tanks

 

So the kole and blue tang would be alright with the naso? And is that angel reef safe?
