What fish?

[spongebobby]

Coral Beauty would be a nice addition. I've had one for over a year and have never seen it eat anything but pods,nori and flake.A very hardy fish.

Hippo tang would be a nice addition but they are very hard to acclimate. Once you QT and feed the crap out of it you will be rewarded with a happy plump hippo. Mine likes a variety of foods green and brown nori, Flake, Mysis, Bioplankton,Cyclopeeze. He eats it all. They are ich magnets also. But as long as you QT and feed it good they will recover (hypo). Probably my fav. fish in my tank due to it's personality.

Here is my fish list:

3-4 Hippo Tang
3-4 Naso Tang
3 in. Coral Beauty
3-4 Male Lyretail
2-3 Female Lyretail
2-3 Clarkii Clown
1-2 True Perc
1-2 Green Chromis
1 in. Maculosis Angel

You've got a maculosis in there? Is this a reef tank? If so, how is he with the corals?

 

[spongebobby]

Has been excellent so far. I feed my fish 2-3 times a day so they are well fed. He pretty much justs swims back and forth. He and the coral beuty are pals so he pretty much mimics him. I believe he thinks he's a tang though. He eats nori also. It is only a juv. so only time will tell but i'm hoping he will not take to SPS or Clam for dinner.

argh! Always end up this way, looking at things but not sure. If I thought that the mimic/chocolate tang would look like the picture I posted when it matured, then I'd probably be all over it. However, upon doing quite a bit of searching on here and the net in general, most of the pics I've seen of them have looked kind of drab in comparison.

Dave my buddy had 1 and it was the coolest fish I have seen if I could find a could one I be all over it to.

 

[Shooter7]

Did it look like the one in my pics above?

 

[trottman]

i was looking at anthias on liveaquaria, and i founf them rather interesting. after i did some research i think i am going to have a dispar anthias reef....

 

[Shooter7]

Well good. Hope that works out for ya. I have read in the fish forum that people have had some problems getting the Dispars to eat well. I love the three lyretails I have and they are eating well.

 

[trottman]

they said as long as they eat before you buy them, you are good!

 

[Shooter7]

I think the last time I saw some local they were at MS, and they were having trouble getting them to eat. But yeah, if you see that they're eating then I would think that would be a good sign. I'm happy because I got my lyretails to eat formula one flakes along with the other things they eat.

 

[Fade]

Yes Dave looked just like that awsome.
trotty anthias do good but you have to feed the f out of them. Despar is on the med side of difficult I would go with wrasses in a 75 or a orange tonga anthias.

 

[Shooter7]

Well, if I happen to find one I better get on it then. :bum:

Thanks for the input.
