The Miracle Tank

[brett_schn]

So I’m stuck. I’m really debating selling my 40g breeder and getting something that checks more boxes. I’m gonna sit on this idea for awhile because I can’t even set up the tank right now anyways. It doesn’t feel right in the space I have it. I don’t want to set something up for a few months and pour all kinds of money and time into something I won’t be 100% satisfied with. Again I’m going to keep looking at it and see what I think. Don’t want to be upgrading so quickly like when I bought this tank.

I have a blue sponge and a bad attitude!

Lfs had a baby Scopas!!!!! @najer I kissed all over the glass!

 

[Katrina71]

She was a little bigger than a quarter.

I am concerned though...every foxface I saw was in a coral free tank. And...one was huge.

 

[Katrina71]

The huge one was a one spot.

I don't want to be cruel. Is the Miracle too small? I had never seen one that big.

[fishguy242]

They startle easy and may crash into glass or objects. May be a bit small. Wouldnt put a med/lg in my cube.

And due to colour prejudice you left it there?
Give me the fish, two blue (not purple) sharpies and a yellow sharpie and I will give you a less pretty "purple" back!

I have never had one. The ones I usually saw in the stores were rather large and I never thought I should get one, so I see where you might be hesitant. I am hoping my 125 has lots of small to medium fish, but the ones I have in "temporary lodging" are already pretty large.

In my experience the black spot fox face is a fantastic addition. Softies never bothered.
In lack of space and another fish that eats the same stuff you might have a problem. Tang vs foxface. In a smaller tank I would not mix a tang and foxface. Just my observation. Other than that they are peaceful to all other fish.

No. She wasn't for sale.

They removed the battery and couldn’t find anything wrong with it, so they brought it to the company the buy from. He tested it and said it had a ”bad cell”. It was under warranty, so they replaced it at no charge. I’m still going to check under the hood every couple months to make sure there isn’t any new corrosion ;Shifty

Stefan and I were discussing the stocking of my 29g. Here's what I'm thinking:
2 clowns (from @fishguy242)
1 green or citron clown goby
1 royal gramma or azure damsel
Stefan had suggested that I may be able to get away with getting both the azure and the gramma. What do you guys think?
