    That's plenty of tank; I keep a 120g (60"x20"x24").

    Flames are typically on less aggressive side, but there's always a few stand-outs! :) However, Flames and Red Velvets don't always mix well, it's a 50/50 combination.

    With my fairys, the order of most to least agressive would be Lineatus>Scotts>Flames. The two Halichoeres are about the same and come after the Cirrhilabrus.

    I have a MONSTER Golden Puffer. I have had the other two at a LFS. Do you like the looks of the Oriental Sweetlips after they have their adult coloration?

    you lucky dog you... how large is he? lol

    and yeah, if anything I like the adults more. they look like sea cows (not taking manatees into the equation). if only there was a species that could live in a 55... heheh :)

    Aside from my seahorse tank, I also want a 12' X 5' X 4' reef with a spotted stingray and a school of yellow tangs.

    I would guess 13 inches right now. Shortly will be moved to a 135. He's a bit obnoxious. If he wants food or attention and you're working on the computer, he will spit all the way across the room at you. He likes to be pet and he likes to follow your finger on the glass.

    That's funny. XD I would love a fish with size and a personality like that. :D maybe in the future. I might upgrade to a 125 in about a year or so...

    A 10,000 gallon reef tank with black tip reef sharks, schools of tangs, and lots of coral and rock.
