Biota Coral Beauty

So could I put one in a 10g with 2 baby clowns the Bosnia version

No, if you get a bonsai you would need a tank at least 20 inches long. Keeping angels is about footprint

[mattsreefadise]

My tank is 19.5” long

My tank is 19.5” long

How wide and tall is the tank. As long as the rock doesn't take up too much swim space you should be good with a bonsai. Just makes sure that it is a bonsai you are getting

10” wide 12” tall I have a small rock scape if something happens to my clowns or firefish then I’ll probably get a bonsai. How big do they get

 

[Warthur]

CB reach 4 inches. The bonsai is supposed to be smaller, around 2 inches. Make sure the bonsai you get is under 2" upon purchase and ensure that it's a bonsai. If it's not there could be aggression issues as it would be too small of a tank for a 4" fish

Ok. Well I’ll be getting a larger tank where it will go by the end of the year

matt i have two questions ... first one is i have a 35 gallon cube and I only have a pair of clowns and a yellow wrasse. Would a bonsai be better or am i ok with the regular coral beauty ??

And my second question is i always QT all my new fishes. Since you guys breed them is it safe to just acclimate him and put him in or should i QT just in case ?? Thank you for your help Matt !!

So, if you wanted a full size I would say it would be okay in your 35 gallon cube, but only if you plan on upgrading in the next year.
These guys are coming in super small right now (about 1")

The bonsai would be perfect for it however.

I would always suggest QT. these guys go through QT at Biota Aquariums in FL, and then a QT through me, buy I still always recommend it.

That choice is up to you.

Ok thank you for the quick reply Matt !!
I'll go with the bonsai since I don't plan on upgrading within the next year or two. I've emailed Kevin and will be trying to go by one of these days to pick one up.

You'd have to talk to Kevin about that.
But understand it's not where the aquaculture happens. Just their hiding facilities.
Everything is grown in Paula
