coral beauty angelfish

[kenny5130]

My LFS has large one's for $29.

I have a 60 gallon cube tank with 1 green chromes, 2 cardinal fish, 2 clownfish, and 3 yellowtail damsels. One of the damsels appears to dominate the tank. I tried a 6 line wrasse 2 months ago and the damsel chased it into the rocks, never to be seen again. I had a coral angel for about 6 months but lost it due to adding salt into the sump (my bad). Do you think I should go for it, or pass ? Also had a fire fish for about 6 months and it too has disappeared. So, I have not had good luck with fish in this tank.

I would probably hold off.29 is a good price for a big one.but it's a lot if it is going to die within a few days.I would remove the damsel.they get highly aggressive and often compromise stocking plans.especially as they continue to grow

When fish are new and get attacked makes them very acceptable to getting diseases

Thank you. I'll hold off. My tank is a cube, 2 ft. square. And the damsels have their territory all in the middle of the tank, chasing any that enter their territory.

I tried catching one of them with the lights out, but they dart into the rocks.
