Setup an Innovative Marine 25 in the office and wanted to share some updates along the way. It has seen many fish evictions as they grow large enough for my other systems but the cherub is a permanent resident.

Currently stocked:
Cherub angel
Pin cushion urchin
Cleaner shrimp
4x sexy shrimp

Coral:
4x mini carpets
Assorted zoas
Toadstool leather


Enjoy my very well decorated urchin 🤣

I have a Cherub (a/k/a Pygmy) Angel as the lone fish in a IM 20 gallon. It's really too small-- so I'm glad you have at least the 25. I had a designer Clown in there with him... it was fine for at least 9 months, then BANG, I woke up to find the Angel relentlessly persecuting the Clown. I pulled the Clown after two days because it was going to lead to his death.

That’s exactly why he’s riding solo now! Had two black Mollies and a clown. One day I was missing one Molly (probably got offer and eaten by the clean up crew) and another day he was relentlessly chasing the clown to no end. Beautiful fish but very spunky.
 
Mine is at least 3 years old. I suppose if I can only have one (1) fish in the tank, at least he is very beautiful! He is ok, at least, with a large Flame (Blood) Shrimp.
 
Got any pictures! I wonder how he would do with a Mandarin. Still thinking of fish ideas to pair with my Mandarin which I will eventually get lol
 
Following along!
