I dont have any small fish, crabs or shrimp but would one eat my clams and 3 snails? How about abalone?

leafy dragons are only available to public aquariums and research facilities; mostly if not exclusively captive bred specimens. not for sale to us incompetents they also come with a price tag of about 10K a piece.

Definately an Achilles Tang, at least that is my dream fish for this month!!

I have attainable goals....

A school of 10-15 Parapriacanthus ransonneti (pygmy sweeper). Just can't get them anywhere.

Scarus quoyi (Quoy's Parrotfish). Might be available if I really tried and was willing to order a fish from a remote vendor.

I've had a sixline 4 months now. He seems to like the overflow. Jumped in there 2 times now. Smart enough not to get sucked up though. Finally covered the overflow.

I would like an Achillles Tang (I will never have a tank big enough) and a Peppermint Angel (I will never spend that kind of money on a fish). Both somewhat attainable.

I've always wanted a Platax batavianus - the Zebra batfish, but not only is it stupid rare, it's damn near impossible to keep.

My dream is simple.... yellow and hippo tangs. But sadly I do not have enough room! (yet)

You know, I really want a Potters angel.....but alas im far away from that tank size.
