Nice set up , what size is that tank, I have a 55g and wondered if Coral Beauty would be ok ?

My tank is only 40 and two angels get along fine, first day was a little chasing by the flameback but after that nothing else. I’m just holding the yellow tang for my girlfriends tank to cycle, it’s really big

Oh how big is the Tang?

My personal favorite is the Venustus Angel. Absolutely striking fish if you can manage to get one from the Divers Den!

6inches she got it free so she’s setting up a tank

Zionas · Mar 16, 2021

Oh I see. 6 inches means it could be a decent age already. Has it grown any bigger since?

Hmm well the guy who gave it to her had it for 5 years I think already

TSM Aquatics. I probably paid more than I should but with the ban, sort of worth it imo.

Zionas · Mar 17, 2021

I see. I don’t think it will grow much more, if at all.

Zionas · Mar 17, 2021

How much did you pay for your Potter’s?

Yes! I would love to get one, I’ve never seen one that small too.

Yea they don't always have them in stock. They had some a few weeks ago for 399 + S&H. With the Hawaii ban who knows when they will get more.

If money wasn’t a concern:

1. Interruptus pair

2. Joculator pair

If I lived in Star Trek:

Peppermint pair / harem

Resplendens pair / harem

Currently, as it is:

1. Rusty
2. African Flameback
3. Eibli
4. Multicolor
5. Flame
6. Coral Beauty

Zionas, what’s your opinion on the Rusty in your tank, their is one for sale in my LFS £38, thinking of catching my CB and asking for a swap. Thanks.

Hey sorry I actually don’t have any fish yet because I’m stuck abroad and can’t go home due to Covid

But yeah I’d say worth a try it’s relatively peaceful and I heard not too bad with corals.

Opposite of what someone else said, I really like my corals but I am a fish guy at heart...
I have a Potters, Interruptis, and Regal and wouldn’t change a thing.
If corals are healthy and fish are well fed they seem to coexist fairly well....

Would love to see pics of the Potters and Interruptus!

My experience was good with the Flame angel in a previous tank.

Wow, with today's pricing on many fish £38 seems like a steal to me, for a Rusty.
