Good luck.
While I do agree with you it's the same for tangs. Though they eat well they can also be mean and or be a constant challenge with ich. I never had luck with powders or regal when it came to ick and my sohal and purple were jerks

Along with feeding high flow is important. If you do buy anthias try to buy a harem at same time. Once a female starts to turn male there's no going back

ya for sure! Not sure how to get started on that though. I see lots of people doing it and the pictures they take are so good! I spend most of my time sitting in front of the tank after work and days off until my wife yells at me , my kids love it though!

Start a new thread here and post something about your tank. Easy peasy :-)

I would get 3 or 4 Tomini tangs. I think they Have more personality then yellow tangs, and don't get huge like some of their cousins.

I don't like my tominini tang because he picks on my diamond goby and won't let him out of his cave. If I could catch him, you can have him!
