Besides Live Aquaria what are some other trust worthy marine shops online?

Not to get off topic but I saw a huma huma and a clown trigger yesterday that were absolutely gorgeous! If you can make room, you should definitely add one or both to your list! best of luck

We want a clown trigger!!! But after reading and researching we took it off the list. I forgot to add that we are going to try some corals in this set-up

Do you think a clown trigger would get along with everything if I was to introduce him last and being a small one?

In order of angels from least to more aggressive
Dwarves:
Potters
Coral beauty
Flame angel

Large:
Annularis - I haven't kept this one so not sure on temperament
Blue face
Emperor

The others should go in after the Angels I'd say so they can fight amongst themselves for dominance without the extra crowding.

With all these angels don't waste your time with LPS they will just get nipped to death. Sps should be fine as long as you keep everyone well fed

First thank you, should I start with the dwarfs 1st and add the larger angels?

 

[Dashiki]

A clown trigger will eventually kill all the other fish as it gets larger. I would not suggest this with the fish list you have

I'm not expert but I'm sure he will eat corals, and as far as being aggressive, I think it just depends on when you add and how big he is. Someone else will let us know I'm sure. But aren't they awesome fish!? Just beautiful.

Haha I guess that answers that! It's usually the coolest fish that are the biggest jerks

Thank you for the advice. I will keep the clown trigger off the list

Yes very true, but you are correct it is probably the most beautiful fish out there that you could keep. I would like one day to set up a tank just for a clown trigger

 

[ReefTalk]

Looks like a nice list, but I would read up on the Angel fish they can be quite aggressive towards each other, but then again you have a large tank. And for better success I would add all the angels at once.

Thanks, I have read quite a bit about them had a couple of them taken off the list, then my wife shows me this video on you tube of a 300 gallon tank with every angel fish known to man in it with several other fish in it as well including a clown trigger. I'm not sure if this was this guy's DT or he is set up selling fish, but it's worth looking at just search Annularis Angel on you tube and you'll see 300g tank

 

[Dashiki]

you could alternate between dwarf and large so they aren't the only thing in the tank at one time.

 

[Dashiki]

What are your plans for qt?

 

[limbhanger]

What are your plans for qt?

I have several options there. I thought about 3 different 10g tanks or a 55g tank for QT. What do you suggest?

We are also setting up a 75g reef tank also. That's why I was thinking the 3 10g tanks

 

[Dashiki]

The 55 would be good for the fish on your list none of them will find the 10g large enough and you need qt time to not be stressful. You could qt a large and dwarf in that at the same time as well but not two large Angels so adding them at the same time would not be a route I would go.
