Unique fish on a budget

Can’t go wrong with a Mandarin

Agreed, they are beautiful, but won't survive a never tank without a healthy pod population.

I haven’t seen CB ones recently either

I really like lamarcks.. maybe that is the way to go.

I love potters and regal’s... but obviously that just seems like an expensive and sad death in most cases

I have a bicolor that has been by my side through thick and thin. They are beautiful fish, and mine has been very hardy.

Forgot you had another angel. Bicolors can be aggressive to new angels after they are settled.
Before getting anything make sure have a back up plan if its too aggressive. And would add via acclimation box.

Also forgot it was an 80 gallon, so lamarks is a bit large and active for the footprint.

Mine is a bi*** to all new fish for the first couple days, then calms down. The tank is small enough that I can pull it apart and catch whoever needs to be caught.

I did put the bicolor in sump timeout for a few weeks once when aggressive and it was fine when I reintroduced.

If it helps, I’m moving in a year and will be upgrading to at least a 120 gallon

It’s pretty good for active swimmers though. 24x48 inches
