I bought a new fish


I just bought a Bi-Color Angel. It is a very pretty fish and my daughter said she really likes it. (If you have a daughter, you understand) It is 4 to 5 inches. I have a 180 mixed reef (Mostly SPS) and a 125 fowlr tank. I have heard that these fish are 50/50 reef safe. The person I got it from said it nipped the softies a little, but not if kept well fed. I woul dlike it in the 180 if possible.

What do you think?

You'll hate yourself for putting it in the 180 and then having to tear it down just to get him out.

If you have a FOWLR I'd put it there not worth it in the reef if he starts to nip

St Peters to Holts Summit in 45 minutes??? We may have to swap videos...

Just so everyone knows, Phil is making fun of me. The story behind the harpoon is...well long story short, you start with a butthead domino damsel and a 12 pack of beer...

Any questions?
