On a side note, guy at Petco told me today that a trigger will go in a reef tank.

there are exeptions to every rule.

the clown is not one of them though.

one question why the ^&%^#$ would you go get SW fish advice from petco, it was problaay some teenager who told you that because their gonna fire him if he doesn't get a sell..... (their are some triggers which are known to be friendly in a reef environment but its a gamble with the odds not in your favor dude)

-heres a lagit. question though, what about a sohal tang in a 140g with minimal rock work....

if it is a long tank than that should be fine. you will want to make sure it is the last fish added. they are rather mean tangs.

No comment but wish I was a teenager

A friend of mine has a model-citizen blue-jaw trigger in his reef ... but that's probably the only kind I'd risk it with.

Certainly never a clown ... though having seen the size they grow to - I wouldn't put one in a tank anyway ...

[ruhspolostar]

hey im a teenager notheing against them....

and the tank i would be putting the sohal in would be 4 ft long

that is a little short for a tang of that size. i was thinking it was more along the lines of a 6' tank. that is what i would consider minimum for tang of that size.

darn, my tanks big enough but not the one I'm setting up...

on a later note (i hope this doesn't offend)

I went into PetCo just to look a round and the guy who was running the SW department said he didn't kno anything about it and that their selection was bad, he said I should go to China Town, ("they would hook me up if I asked to go to the back room, any kind of shark, alligator or pirrahna I wanted")
I couldn't keep a straight face


-he wasn't a teenager

hmmm no sohal huh

so come on guys I'm lost give me a roster for a 140 g tank

has to have at least 2 false perc clowns or two clarkii clowns

80 lbs of LR 1" sand bed

[ruhspolostar]

(the family I'm setting it up for wants clowns, the rest is left to me)

personally I like the longnose hawkfish, always wanted one but never got it....
