Holy Grail Fish

[anthonygf]

My Powder Blue Tang always hold a special place in my heart because I was able to bring him back from an hair from death.

WOW! He is fat. lol

I missed one, Potters Angel. I had one 15 years ago and they just don’t appear around here any more.

I have my dream tang gang (Powder Blue Tang, Purple Tang, Yellow Tang, Gem Tang and Whitetail Bristletooth Tang) and getting all to coexist in my 4 footer is my holy grail (HG).

Another HG, is to have the Mccullochi Clown pair hosting a pink carpet. CHECKED!

Couple of HG for consideration that may happen in the future…

- Feminine Tamarin Wrasse (Anampses femininus)

- Japanese Pygmy Angel (Centropyge interruptus)

Another one of my Holy Grail CHECKED today!

 

[i cant think]

I just keep adding to my holy grails…
My most recent addition has been a Centropyge multicolor but I don’t have the tank for it (I plan to eventually try find a tank to fit one though).

I realized I’m a fish over coral guy!

I know right! While I love my acros, if I had a tank full of established colonies of Acropora I wouldn’t mind the nipping every so often. I’d also love to have the Angel in a tank you could just look at from top down.

I’m with you on this! I’m starting to grow SPS colonies as we speak for my final grail fish…the Japanese Pygmy Angel (Centropyge interruptus). IMHO the tank isn’t complete unless it has angels and butterflies.

Haven’t been on here in a awhile but here’s a few from my collection, no longer have Chaoti Wrasse though. But, the Hawaiian Flame Fairy hands down is my baby!

Was my favorite too. Can't wait to get another

My holy grail fish would be an orange toadfish. Weird, but so fascinating. I also have a thing for orange fish.

 

[i cant think]

Jordani is a stunner but not for me unfortunately (Both due to the price tag and what wrasses I have currently).

wow! amazing how did you get those tangs to coexist in a 4' tank

I have a 6' tank and want to do this.

was this your first attempt?
what did you learn from your experience?


I really love that carpet anemone with the clown hosting. I remember back in the day (late 80's) my brother taking a book from the library with the fishes from the Great Barrier Reef. I remember a pair of tomato clowns hosting a carpet anemone. Amazing!!!

I really like the idea of isolating the anemone. I have always avoided them because they travel around the tank. How do you keep it from traveling on the side glass?

 

[Tchung23]

My holy grail fish is the orange spotted filefish. So hard to get to eat frozen food.

 

[Rmckoy]

Here’s mine. It’s a Juvenile Queen Angel so far she has settled in QT just fine and eating like a pig.

I’ve got the emperor and blue ring.

Queen is my next fish to start hunting for .
I’d love a blue face but I think I might be getting close to running out of aquarium for large fish

 

[Rmckoy]

I’ve always wanted large angelfish . Especially a emperor but I decided watching one grow from juv would be better.

Next is a blue ring angelfish which I have had my eyes on for a few weeks . And decided to take him home last weekend.

The only other one I’m looking for now is a queen angel of blue face .

 

[Slocke]

Hmmm...
I'm to whimsical for this but I have been looking for a healthy Coris Gaimard for a while.

Also would love to home this guy but I know I don't have a big enough tank:

 

[Anemone_Fanatic]

Mine is either the candy basslet or golden angelfish. I don't have either, but I wish that I did!

(not my pictures)

Well, I have the dream tank of 3’x16”x1’ and so far out of my holy grails I have;
A trio of Pseudocheilinops ataenia

…and nothing else. I’m currently hunting for a Pair of Wetmorella tanakai. Last thing I absolutely want is either of these;
Centropyge multicolor (The absolute dream)
Paracentropyge venusta (If I can’t get the multicolor)
Paracentropyge multifasciata (If I can’t get any of the above two)

Mine was a Gem tang and I got one last week. Not sure what is next
