Another Newb with another Newb question.

Lots of great info thank you everybody. Yeah I keep hearing "Only bad things happen fast". I guess that makes sense when you conisder the bacteria vs bioload. Lots of great info on angels too, thanks. I also want to be careful not to buy a specimen that is too difficult to take care of, being new and all. If I do loose a fish and I'll try my damnest not to, I don't want to loose my shirt as well.

hat being said, how accurate is LiveAquaria.com when they mention the care level of different fish?

LiveAquaria.com is not bad, but what I typically do is type the fish name into the search at reefcentral.com(after becoming a member), and take a look at what people's actual experiences are with keeping the fish long term( 2 years and up). The reason I say long term is some people will say "I have kept 12 chromis together for 6 months and had no problems", but they fail to comment that after about a year, 12 became 10, then 8, and so on. Just be warned though, reefcentral is huge and a search can yield a tonne of results.
