What fish do you wish you could have?

I really want this batfish.

No experience with them at all but I have read most require a very large system

I am itching to get my hands on a Yellow Tang... I am on the waiting list at every LFS within 150 miles of here... lol

They have had them in stock at biota recently. 150$, I bought 5. Very tiny

Meyers butterfly or orange spot filefish. If I had time and room for a second sps tank, I would definitely sacrifice some coral to keep either of those.

They don’t actually eat the coral, just the mucus from the polyps. I’ve currently got 4, 3 males and a female. I’ve had the males for 8 months and the female about 3 months. They all eat everything. I was able to get all of them eating Masstick on the day they arrived. I also feed them Panta Rhei Polyp and Panta Rhei Sponge pellets designed specifically for coralivores. They eat mysis and pretty much any frozen food or pellet they can fit in their mouths. They are actually really hearty fish as long as they’re eating.

For me, it would either be a quoyi parrotfish or a crosshatch trigger. Just not a big enough tank...

That, or a golden dwarf moray. Curse you, Hawaii...

Eat all your mysis and when you get bigger it may happen
