New tank - Need some advice

[Kio707]

How does a sailfin only need a 180g, but this needs a 250g? They get the same size....

Sohal Tang


BTW, LFS has one for 159, but it is bigger, like 6-7 inches.

Typo..... it's $199... My bad.... Gorgeous fish!

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Probably a more active swimmer.

Thank u, Doug. I'll stay away from them. It is pretty though...

The tank looks fantastic!

Yep, Mr X is right, Sohal Tangs are pretty aggressive, I think it is a smart decision to stay away from them.

The juvenile 6-line....

 

[Kio707]

The metallic brain.

 

[Jlsardina]

Nice new additions

The juvenile 6-line....

Very nice! Sixlines are great fish. I had one as one of my two first fish, and he just died about a month ago due to a Niger Triggerfish.

The metallic brain.

The brain looks awesome too! How are their care requirements?

Trace elements, moderate light, moderate to low flow. Believe that is correct.

Very cool, I love shrimp!

Wow, he is a stunning Triggerfish. I think they are one of the more passive types too!

About the only reef semi safe I could fine. But he is stunning! I almost got a fire shrimp, but at 30 a pop... Couldn't do it.

Well, the 6-line and misbar are getting along, but the hawk keeps stalking it... He is the smallest fish, so hopefully the rocks will protect it.
