So I did it…

[vetteguy53081]

I have a yellow, naso, powder brown and a blue lip bristletooth going in, and the tank comes with a very large purple and sailfin tang. Would that powder blue be better behaved in this size tank if it was dead last? They really are beautiful…

I doubt it - a child fish of the devil

Consider a pyramid butterfly and even a moorish idol (idol if coral is not an issue)

Lol I dont seem to have luck with wrasse!

Instead of the emp angel or tang? And coral isnt an issue, I wont be keeping them in this tank. I do love idols just worried about the more aggressive fish bullying it

 

[littlefoxx]

I would be interested in a bigger wrasse, really like the red coris!

If you got a good sized one! Like this full female/ early male.

in lieu of tang.
Pyramid good natured and no interest in coral. Moorish idols stand up for themselves

Oh thats good to hear! I think I will look into a moorish idol then. I just get nervous because I know they are hard to get eating

What tricks did you use to get yours to adapt? These are stunning fish

No tricks. Acclimation and introduction is a very important step followed by water quality and diet. These fish ate from the onset

So they are not as hard to care for as most say?

 

[littlefoxx]

Also best place to order one for? This isnt a fish my LFS will have. I can ask one if they would special order but they dont really do that often

Back in the day, they were impossible but have gotten much easier and commonly available
