Making a case as to why NOT to bring home a Regal angel

[my2rotties]

What would be irresponsible is the buy the fish and bring it home... I did that once with my puffer and learned a big lesson from it. Never again I do research and ask questions. SO what I bought the fish and he is on hold... it does not mean I HAVE to take it. I will get a credit from the store. Call me irresponsible, at least I did not brain fart twice and bring it home before doing homework on it.

It sounds like you haven't chosen what you want to stock or what your goal is for your tank, but instead act on opportunity of what the LFS has.

Sorry if my post seems rude; it wasn't intended that way. The fact is your tank is not very mature. You want to keep adding more and more fish. You've had several big problems since your tank started 4 months ago. You need to slow down. Let's get to the point though:

What are you currently stocking?

What is your overall plan for your tank?
