Thanks rgentry. The problem is that most of the fish recommended by the users on this forum are very rarely on offer in the aquarium stores around here (Melbourne, Australia). I have never seen a goldflake angel, nor a gray poma, no blue spotted angel, and i think i've seen maybe 2 regals and both were sickly looking. The industry is a bit of a shambles here!! For example, one of the stores was offering juvenile moorish idols for $30 each!! There were about 6 of them. This store is most definitely dodgy and for the prices to be so low i have no doubt that they are obtaining cyanided fish. Needless to say i never buy anything from them. But then their business is expanding because they are so much cheaper than the other stores, which then creates more problems when competitors are trying to match them.
The store where i buy my fish usually only has 8-10 specimens on offer but they are always healthy looking, hence the reason why i wanted everyone's opinion on the blue face. However it looks like i'll have to wait until they get a smaller, and lower maintenance fish in. I have seen a banana wrasse in the store before, so hopefully they will get another one.
) thought you meant Thalassoma lutescens instead. H. chrysus would be a great choice.
