Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

Freak and Doc... We all seem to be copying each other somewhat on our fish selections... I hate to say it, but... Those pics of your new anthias, well, I guess I'm just gonna have to come out with it. There's no way around it. I think I'm going to have to order myself a bunch of anthias. You have left me no choice.

Oh, and tested my nitrates, they're at 0 with 20 fish in there, including my pig of a trigger. So you know what that means -- my limit has not yet been pushed!

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

Of the big angelfish, the majestic angelfish is the most reef safe. Make sure it is P Navarchus you are getting. I would hate for you to get your hopes up for a different fish. They are beautiful and a bit challenging. They are not very aggressive and tend to get picked on. They should not be housed with overly aggressive fish, like triggers other big angels or certain large tangs.

$45 is a steal for that fish. Expect it to be small for that price. They will not be safe with clams tho as they will devour them. It is always a risk to try to keep one but if you decide to, let me know and I can give you some direction as to how to keep it more safe with corals. I have kept large angelfish with my corals for well over a year now

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

Sure you can,I think?Well,I'm going with the more peaceful variety and the ones that aren't as difficult.Bartlett's,Lori's(tiger queen),Dispars as soon as liveaquaria gets some more.I want even more different anthias but haven't decided on the species yet.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

How about a mix of Bartlett's, threadfin, dispar, bicolor and lyretail? Those are all species that are somewhat non-aggressive and tolerate intense lights.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

I never of heard of the threadfin.Doc mention to me once the lyretails aren't so nice looking like other anthias.Better to see one in person before deciding.The others look great.A Hawaiian bicolor,yeah that would be another good one for me.

Nothing that looks like that should be named Jessica, I think Medusa better suits that ugly beast. haha.

Sorry Biff, but that is nasty.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

One thing is for sure. I will NOT be telling Jessica II what you guys have said about her physical appearance. I assure you, she does have the most wonderful of personalities.

Oh well, she's going back to the store tomorrow. There's not a spot of algae anywhere in my tank, and she's going to starve here soon. She refuses to eat seaweed sheets.
