Work sucks today..so I've been looking at fish porn

Thanks Wayne! I've always loved the koles but after an experience with a rather spastic one (most active nutjob fish I've ever seen) I sort of shyed away from them, perhaps its time to give it another try


Anthony, thanks for the info on the powder brown. For the most part the regal has been the aggressor as he's twice the size of the PBT and has the attitude to prove it. There was some aggression after I moved the tank to its new location (new house) but I think that was due to lack of food as I was away for a couple of weeks and I think my husband was only feeding them flake. Once I returned and started pumping mysis and other frozen goodies into them, the tank has returned to normal and everyone is hunky dory once again. I guess I'll have to rethink the powder brown.

Yeah every time I'm at the store I totally lust for a copperband. But you're right, likely getting one from someones tank would increase my success 100%. However, thats pretty unlikely around here so I'll continue to lust after one at the store

Not sure about the sunrise, I had heard it was one of the smaller dottybacks and wasn't so aggressive. Guess I'll have to do some more research into that one as well.

Anyone have any other suggestions I might be interested in? This "bigger fish" thing is new for me as I previously kept only small ones due to space

How about an angel, I have a potter's and chrysuru's juv both very beautiful.
Also Harlequin tusks are gorgeous not sure how the behave though.
I have a square spot anthia, they are gorgeous too and larger!!!
This is fun, huh! I think this is the best part trying to decide and imagine in your tank.

Yeah, naesco mentioned my tank is probly too active for angels but I'd love to try one of the pygmy ones as long as they aren't clam nippers or SPS eaters. I love the little lemonpeel ones

Harlequin tusks are neat looking but their teeth scare me

Sadly I have a crap track record with anthias so I'll just lust after them from afar.

Yeah this is pretty awesome looking at all the fish I can possibly have!

Dez had a sunrise dotty a number of years back before he went on hiatus. Now that he is back and active on the board maybe he will chime in.
FWIW I always thought it was a stunner in his reef tank.

Lemonpeels are a crap shoot but Cherub angels are beautiful dwarf-dwarf that I've found over the years to be great reef residents. They are a beautiful blue with yellow face. J&L just got in a few. Stay very small and lots of personality. Like a little dog that thinks its a big dog (aquatic version).
