    Well with a fishing licence you can go catch a blue fin tuna... and it would be free.

    Not to get off the subject, but I need help. I have a fresh water tank 55 gallon. What wattage do I need?

    Foxface. I loved mine. Hardy. Disease resistant. Gets along with everyone.

    EDIT: Oops... someone already said foxface.

    Hijack alert! You need to make your own thread to get better help. Your post will be overlooked here inside this thread, since it's not related to the OP's question. Have you tried the freshwater forum?

    Midnight_Madman, check out the powder blue tang. It's a really pretty fish and it has some yellow. Here's a picture from liveaquaria.com:

    What else do you have in your tank?

    Powder blues are beautiful fish and do a great job at helping controlling filamentous algae. Just make sure that you don't currently have any small tangs or try to add any tangs after a Powder Blue because they can be real bullies. They might ick up at first due to stress but should kick it on their own if conditions and tank mates are suitable - keep an algae strip available for them to graze on. I think this would be a great choice.
