I have my heart set on getting a Coral Beauty for my new tank
(350L
corner tank). Current occupants are 6 green chromis and 2 benggai
cardinals. I have read that it is not a good idea to mix angel
species
in a tank but one LFS has suggested that it could be possible
providing
I go for dissimilar colours. What does everyone else think about
this?

TIA

I don't have a chiller either but it does sit in an airconned room.

I have read that AC is sufficient as long as the tank stays below 80.

I guess fish are most expensive where you live.

You can buy a Yellow tang on the LFS for about $29.

Check www.sal****erfish.com and they are not the cheapest out there.

Sometimes you also find decent deals on ebay.

I guess your only option is to move to USA, lol

Just wondering why did you pick the cardinal and the chromis.

A yellow tang would've been a great colorful option, along with nemo
(clown
fish) and dory (blue tang).

I mean, for the cost of having a SW tank to end up with $2 fish. Might
as
well gotten a FW with some fw angels or some
ciclids. I say that because I went SW for the colors and variety. A
whole
new world.

Just a comment, after all, it's your tank..=)

Well I wish it was $2 of fish - lol. The chromis I liked the look of
even though relatively cheap - £20 for the 6 of them - they were on
offer. The banggai's cost £50 for the pair and although predominately
black and white/cream are great looking fish - we call them the punks
because of their finnage. Here's a link to an article on them, which has
a pic:-

http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.u....php?news=1297

A yellow tang and coral beauty are on the list - this will set me back
around £60. I particularly am looking for herbivores/omnivores as the
tank is looking more and more like a planted tank daily - I got a lot of
higher level algae come in on the LR when I set it up. I'm also looking
at a Royal Gamma (not a false) but am still researching other fish for
the tank - I'd like a Mandarin but am waiting for the tank to mature
more (it's only been running since mid-April). I also need to get some
more inverts and corals - I'm looking at getting some Sand sifting star
fish, more snails, hermits etc. The tank has the usual suspects Coral
wise but the more exotic are going to set me back between £30-40 per
frag. UK prices force a slow stocking of the tank. I've ruled out a
"Dory" as I think that the tank is too small and I have no space for a
larger reef tank unless I convert my largest freshwater (6 foot). I also
have to spread my budget across 7 tanks of which this is only one and a
pond project.

I already have a pair of Clowns in a 15 gall Nano reef. I don't want to
add any more clowns to the new tank in case I decide to move the clowns
from the Nano - I keep prevaricating about doing it - yes, the Nano is
hard to keep stable but it has an awful lot of creatures in there that
would need to move as well. I've pretty much moved most of the corals
into the big tank which as I see it were the greatest issue. The tank
will probably be a FOWLR with the Clowns - the exception being the Xenia
that I have by the shedload....

Anyway, part of the fun IMO is the setting up of the tank and going out
and researching the additions.....coming from a freshwater background
I'm also lairy of adding too many fish at once just in case I get an
ammonia/nitrite spike......

I will be off shopping either today or tomorrow for the angels and the
yellow tang

I've often observed that UK and US prices do not reflect the exchange
rate, but in this instance I would say the price of Yellow Tangs are on
a one to one pound to dollar basis as is the case with other things
(including clothes). I just bought a Yellow Tang today for £30 and a
Bi-colour angel for £29 which seems to bear this out.

BTW both fish are settling in well and are already out and about
exploring :-) Couldn't get a coral beauty today - they are going to try
and get one in for me for next week.....

Gill

Why didn't you wait to buy both angels at the same time?

Unless you put it in a hospital tank first, and add
them both to the reef tank at the same time.

Quite simple really.....because neither place that I shop currently has
any Coral Beauties.....I spotted one last Saturday in the place I went
today and should have snapped it up then but was concentrating on giving
my son's 30g FW a makeover so resisted....it was gone by the time I got
there today. The other place has promised to get me one a couple of
weeks ago but with no success so far.....the place I went today will try
and get me one on Wednesday when they go to the wholesaler, but as it is
the same wholesaler as the other place I don't hold out much hope.

The bi-colour was there and was a very bright and healthy looking fish.
Over here, you buy when you see or it will be gone by the next time you
go shopping.....there are very few marine stockists around here so
basically if you see anything that you are looking for that appears to
be of good quality you don't wait before you buy or you miss out and
face months of waiting again......and that goes for corals and inverts
as well.....I can go multiple times to the LFS and come away empty
handed so if I see something good the plastic comes out....the banggais
weren't my first choice for the second fish to add in, although they
were on my list for the tank, but I saw a great looking pair so had to
get them before anyone else did.

Hope that explains it......I guess it is different in the
States......maybe marine is more readily available.
