Introduce them at the same time with plenty of established LRS

LukFox says it's all about the eels while he has an avatar of MY CHOICE!

Gotta love the Australian Harlequin Tusk!

I'd say Dogface Puffer but I don't even consider mine a fish...he's more of a "pet" than a fish...

And for you eel guys

Sorry about the crappy photos, they were taken with my phone.

Haha you got me. My tusk IS my favorite fish, but as a group I'm still going with eels . Wrasses are a close second, though.

It was the Semi that got me going FOWLR then added Burgess and Declivis

Flameangel88, do you still have all those fish in your tank? Can we get a stock list? Amazing the fish you have and they all get along.

eklikewhoa, nice fish! Love the fuzzy, what kind of wrasse is that in the background?

Current stock list

6 FAs
2 female Watanabes
2 female Bellus
1 female Swallowtail
2 Personifer
1 Bandit

1 Semi
1 Burgess
1 Declivis
1 female Crosshatch
2 Borbonius
1 Yel Anthias
2 Dragon gobies

I've most of the fish since May or before with the exception of the small Personifer, Bandit and Crosshatch which was more recent addition. I also had the PBT, Blueface and Emperor (had them since Oct-Nov 2007) in together till I added the Crosshatch. Now these three are in their own tank and will be reunited with the rest when I get the upgrade next year. I may have to keep the butterflies by themselves in the 180g (going to be using as sump) in order to go reef next year. If I do I'll be able to add a couple of more butterflies and Tinkers will definitely on the list.

With the exception of the Bandit and Crosshatch all the fish were 2.5-3.5" in size at time of introduction and having about 260lbs of LRs with plenty of hiding places certainly helps to lessen aggression. To accomodate the various type/size angels I'd to create 3 different lighting zones for the deep water fish and different sizes caves for the little ones to dart in and out. Spent a lot of nights watching them during each new introduction phase and changing stock list as needed.

So you still have the PBT, emperor and blueface? What size tank are you looking to upgrade? I love all the angels you have, gorgeous!

Yes I still have the PBT, Emp and BF and had to go out to buy 150lbs of LR to set up their tank. I haven't decided on the size yet but since this will be built in the basement weight will not be an issue. The lfs has an 700g L shape tank I like a lot so they will be the one that's going to be putting it in for me I may get a L shape tank. I would like to utilize the 180g and 125g that I've now as part of the overall system. I currently have about 500lbs of LRs so I wouldn't have to go out buy too much more other than a few large pieces of Tonga branches for deco.

It's so hard for me to name a favorite. If I had to chose one, I guess I'd go with undy's. Really loved my yellowtail coris too. Never kept any large angels, but I'm sure they will be up there sooner or later.

 

[espocrespo]

Nice fish guys!

 

[Eklikewhoa]

Thanks guys/gals.

The wrasse is a mystery wrasse in the background.

Reef / aholic, are those Solar pendants? Tank looks awesome!
