Hello Chad

Nice Jocs (not sure if you know but here is Australia "jocks" are known as underwear lol)

Any luck spawning and raising eggs with those guys?

Potter's
I love mine (as you can see by my avatar - not my picture).
Never had a problem with nipping at anything in my tank.

I got mine from LiveAquaria Divers Den. They have them eating before you get them. My Potters was eating the moment I got him into the quarantine tank.
I highly recommend Divers Den.

Thanks. Thanks very helpful. In a 525 gallon system do you think a Potter's would mix well with a flame, Coral beauty, Dusty, yellow, and flameback

When your at the LA/DD website take a look at the regular LA site fish choices also, sometimes the prices there are cheaper than the DD for the same fish. I've noticed this a few times even on inverts.

I've gotten them to day 77 a few years ago. One of my first angelfish we worked with. I finally have my own pair now, so we expect to raise them when they begin spawning.

Flame Angel, without a doubt. However there are some beautiful centropyges, it's a flip of the coin as to whether they will lunch out on your coral or not (or in the case of flames, turn into a raging, fin nipping sociopath).

 

[Carterfish]

Flame, potters, lemon peel. They have the most color and pop.

Got to love the interrupta! (fighting the urge now... Think coral, think coral, think coral lol)

I think a pair of REALLY nice-looking Coral Beauties wins the pool for me.
Interruptus are beautiful, so are Shepardi - but for me I think the Coral Beauty takes the cake

I like the Flame and the Golden........unfortunately my SPS do not like either

Yeah, been there, done that. My fish got to the point where if he got anywhere near them they would get out of the way very quickly:

The first flame I had was as shy as a mouse. Never bothered anything. In fact, he even "paired up" with the yellow tang. The two were inseparable! They'd go everywhere together. No aggression at all. Never touched a coral or a fin.

The second one was the polar opposite. A total sociopathic lunatic. Nothing was safe, he would relentlessly pursue and hunt down and attack my regal angel or anything else that attracted his ire. I think he was a sixline, reincarnate.

My favorite centropyge is the Centropyge Boylei (Peppermint Angelfish).
But I would settle for
Centropyge Interrupta. I have a pair. Beautiful social fish. Even show mating behavior at night.
Multibar Angelfish is something I would have to try again. Bought a pair from LA, couldn't get them to in. Didn't make it.
Flame Angelfish. Common fish but with the striking red, it definitely draws attention.
Female

Male

Mating behavior at dusk.
