I really want a colorful tang, tomini is what would work best, but it's not that colorful...

I was also looking at a cleaner wrasse.
I've had many cleaner wrasse.
Beautiful fish.
Tight fitting lid a must.
How about a Scopus tang?
Some say they are drab but they are really beautiful fish.
 
Yea i have been hearing the same. I have a $100 gift card, that's the knky reason I'm looking at their website. They have like zero dry goods that I'm interested in(in stock).
Wait... That's the kinky reason?

Oh jeez, that was private! Woops! :face-with-tears-of-joy: :face-with-tears-of-joy:
 
Ugh idk what to even buy from them lol. I got a gift card and I'm just like "eh, they don't have anything I want really." At least for $100
Bucket of salt???

Out of stock. Everything is think of, is out of stock :face-with-tears-of-joy: at this point, if anyone can think of ANYTHING that I'll need eventually or has a long enough shelf life I'm all ears lol.

Really haha, its can't even buy reagents for my testers, no screen lids, no autofeeders, no RO filters, lol the list goes on and on. They have livestock but that seems like a disaster waiting to happen. What's a boy to do! Lol probably just call it a night and hope they get some stuff in stock someday. Lol

I thought of those! I think they're pretty too.

I ended up putting in an order for a tomini tang ($45), because of the orange fins and how good of a cuc member they are.

I also got the carpenters wrasse! ($40)

I've been watching videos of schools of chromis, and they look amazing! To finish my fish stocking I may get 7-8 chromis!
