Re: Which Fish Looks Cooler?

I voted flame, but I agree abt. not wanting to off a $75-90 fish yet.
I would like to get one or the other, but it may be better to wait.

I have found that individual fish have tendencies just like we do. Some are calm, others are not. It's nature. look at kids, spouses pets & inlaws.

Re: Which Fish Looks Cooler?

I never said in this thread but I ended up getting the Flame Angel. It is so colorful and although shy at first is now going everywhere in my tank. It also has a much different swimming pattern than my clowns. It weaves in and out of rock formations. My clowns almost never go through the maze like rocks I have other than one of mine sleeps in a cove. It cost me 50 bucks and is about 2 inches long.

$50 for 2 inches is a damn good price. They're not that cheap around here.

good I thought I overpaid a little, but the specimen was so nice that I didn't care at the time.

Re: Which Fish Looks Cooler?

Very tough...I love both of these fish, but in the end I think the Flame is just nicer looking...I'd love to own either (but not until I get the green mantis out of my tank)
