You can see my stock below for reference. My problem is that my Map angel is becoming a total terror towards my Heni's. She has always given them a bit of a chase, but lately she has just plain nasty towards them stressing them out quite a bit.
I have had her for a years and a half and she has doubled is size (almost 7" now and we are quite attached to her.
I have also had the Heni's for about a year and we are quite attached to them as well, very friendly fish. I know a 6' tank seems like a good amount of real estate, but it doesn't seem like things will improve.
Someone may have to go and its a tough decision to make.
On the one hand, I purchased a 210 in order to make a large angel the centerpiece of the system and she has done that. She hand feeds and is quite docile towards us.
On the other hand, the Heni's are a joy and act like a couple of little puppies when I walk into the room.
If the angel goes, I could probably upgrade my lighting and start doing a reef tank, my other fish are at least somewhat reef safe (except the Coral Beauty)...so that is somewhat attractive. BUT... it would be a tough sell for my kids.
It sucks because this is the combo of fish that I wanted.
I don't know what to do, just wondering what you all think.
TIA
