Coastie Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Dont get me wrong he was cool but I definitely needed a female for him to display to. Maybe the McCoskers will be a little more personable? Link to comment
nate21887 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wow your tank is bad@$$ loving all the acans! Link to comment
Coastie Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Well I lost Flip, my normal Occ clown, probably my favorite fish. Gonna replace him later today I think. Other than that, kinda letting the tank just run for right now. Link to comment

Coastie Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Yep if I can find another small one like Flip. Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 I guess I can update this. So got rid of the flasher because of his boring personality. Added a flame angel, I am super skeptical right now, haven't seen him eat too terribly much and my cup coral has zero polyp extension right now. Fish sure is pretty. On a positive side though, I am seeing some incredible growth beginning to take place. Maybe one day I'll go ahead and take some pictures. Link to comment
nate21887 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Lies! No proof pictures...no growth lol j/k but Dwarf Angels are notorious nippers, which sucks cause they are sweet fish. Hope he works out for you, good luck. Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Sure as hell didn't..... Watched him nip an acan and an acro and after some suspicious lack of polyp extension on a few corals I am convinced he needs to go. GORGEOUS fish but Not going to have a $50 fish eat away at hundreds of dollars of coral. Plus my jawfish HATES the angel.... Now trying to figure out how to catch the son of a b!tch is the tough part. Really don't want to tear apart my tank for this. Link to comment
cdr5y7 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 than an orange juice bottom and make it into a fish trap. they have a wider mouth than a 2L. Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 I was going to try something like that, though of course I had to go buy the most skiddish flame angel the world has ever known. Link to comment
cdr5y7 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 haha at least yours is still alive. 2 weeks after i got mine, his eye swelled up like a ballon and then died. you could get a credit, i just wasted $$$ Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 This is true.... If I can catch him now. haha Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 So after an hour of repeated "almost" catches I tore apart my tank to catch the fugger. I sure as hell wish he wasn't a coral nipper. He's got such wonderful color. Anyone have any stocking ideas now? I was thinking of an Anthias. Heard you have to feed them multiple times a day though so ehhhhh... Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 haha the thought crossed my mind. (I'm a criminal, so say the tang police ) Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 What's your stocking list at the moment? Link to comment
nate21887 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 A small yellow tang or a kole tang would be sweet, anthias add nice colors to a tank, I like them in groups of three or more, can really brighten a tank. Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Right now just a jawfish, black and white clown, tailspot, and firefish. I was thinking I may get an anthias but I'd only want one and I read that feeding them is difficult. Link to comment
gutterguy Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 If I find a small purple tang at a lfs that is not priced outrageous I will buy it for my 40. In a heartbeat! Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 truthfully I don't really like tangs. I really was hoping my angel would behave they are probably one of my favorite fish looks wise. Oh well I'm taking him back within the hour. Link to comment
gutterguy Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 every time my wife sees a Flame angel shes wants it Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 What do you think of Banggai Cardinals? I had one for a little while in my Solana before I sold it. Pretty chill fish. Different looking too. Link to comment
Coastie Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 I love them and would put one in either of my tanks but in one tank I have sexy shrimp and the other is a tinnnnnyyyy pistol. Heard they go nom nom nom on small inverts. Link to comment
