What Fish???


I want to get a couple fish for the 50g. frag tank but I'm afraid of it jumping. With the top of it not having a cover...the canopy would not hold anything in being 1 foot off the water what would be a good fish? I thought about a coral beauty but then I thought about the frags.

I have absolutely no problems with my Coral Beauty bothering any of my coral and have never witnessed any jumping tendencies unlike some of my other fish. I think either a CB or a Flame Angel would be a good choice.

Any angle is hit and miss. My Coral Beauty was a good boy 95% of the time, but he would nip. Same with flame's, Jaim's is a angle (excuse the pun) but Bender's was out of his tank as quick as it went in after hitting several of his corals.

Good luck,
Brett

keep in mind what corals you want to have... angels nip/eat zoas... it's unforunately why I don't have angels even though some people have had good luck - it's usually just a matter of time before they do.

I'd just go with some cheap damsels. Since most of them are so mean, a frag tank by themselves is a good place for them.

I picked up 2 Green Chromis today. They looked blue under the LFS lights. When I got them into the frag tank they are green.
