The Twins--180

[Sir Alex]

My favorite is either the emperor or the queen angel. I think I have a thing for royals... :lol:

 

[Sir Alex]

Omg my new signature is way too big. :shock:

Neither of which are suitable for a 180g tank.

I can't help it. I love the look of an Achilles Tang. They're on the expensive side, but I think they are beautiful. If I ever do a big tank, I will be putting one in there. I also like Blueline Angels. If I ever have the space (i.e. we build a house with the 250 gal wall tank I want), those are the two fish I know I will have. I can't wait to see what goes in the twins!

Achilles tangs look awesome but they're expert only, and expert only tangs don't sound like much fun to keep. :shock:

Yea a mandarin is "expert" only too yet I've had mine 3 months after starting my tank...I think alot of that expert only Shiz is debatable.

 

[little_fish]

I think its all about are you educated enough to see what this fish will require and can you make it happen. Its not really about how long your tank has been up or how long you have been reefing IMO

 

[coolhandgoose]

I'd agree. Mandarins can be hit and miss too whether they're eating live or not. My LFS has a mated pair of mandarins for 80 bucks, he doesn't feed live but does squirt in frozen every now and then. He says he's never seen them eat but they must be eating something cuz they're fat. I really want them but I'm not sure if I'm ready for them yet.

Liveaquaria says difficult actually. :wink:

 

[andersoned14]

Well, I figure I am going to hear about this, so go ahead. Here is the new fish for the FOWLR tank.

 

[little_fish]

Yay!!!! The first fishie!!!!

Beautiful choice!

 

[Dana42078]

Sweet looking fish. Have the kids named it yet?

 

[BL1]

Wow, gorgeous! I always love the juvi colors so much more then the adult.

 

[andersoned14]

Right now they are calling it the Star Wars fish because that think the name sounds like it should be on Star Wars. Imperator Angelfish
My boy is non-stop Star Wars right now also, so I'm sure anything we get will have something to do with that.

Thanks the wife and I feel the same way. She want to know how long they last in this color. I was thinking it could be a year or more.

 

[Sir Alex]

Ergh they're so hard to identify at that age. :grumble: But I agree they look nice.

So what is it anyway?
