Re: 180 gallons up in this!!!! NWKRC!

since you have a 180, I would plan for 2 big angels. you have the room for about 40-50 inches of fish? plenty of room. I would go with 2 big angels and then a slew of other fish to run interference between them. You will be set up. Just need to decide which will be the next angel? frequent feeding will also help them get along.

yes i think i can pull off one more maybe i just dont want to overdo it. jack is so massive himself..... but it should be good. i hope. my only other fish in there besides those two is my sixline. he has to feel so small with those 2 in there!

I have only been able to keep one kind of zoanthid, the ugly brown ones. Angels love to pick at them. It usually ends up in their deaths. I have tried about 6 different kinds and all have been eaten.

I forgot about your jack. Great looking fish I might add. Jacks are pretty aggressive aren't they? if that is the case, I would avoid the blue face altogether. stick with the french or emperor

Re: 180 gallons up in this!!!! NWKRC!

huh, maybe the blue face is an option. They are a totally different family from the koran and they will get along fine. They are really peaceful fish though and don't like too much competition for food

Re: 180 gallons up in this!!!! NWKRC!

good point. you do want to make sure you can keep them alive!!! hmmm, maybe I should try that approach instead of killing them within a week
