What about some Anthias? Or Cardinals?

 

[PRC]

I just saw a male lyretail anthias at the LFS the other day....Great looking fish. Having a small school of them could be really cool..They dont get too big.

A nice goldflake angel will add some color:wink:
Big tanks need a couple big fish ,JMO

Agreed... but it depends upon how you define "big"...
5 inches? Ten inches?

[OhNoNemo]

Ok,Ok,thats enough of that,
Fishsticks ,i still think you should get a nice angel or tang...

 

[PRC]

I concur.

 

[fishsticks]

would like an angel but they can get big

 

[OhNoNemo]

A 125 is enough room....assuming its a 6 footer....

 

[fishsticks]

sorry i meant like too big for my tank selection, i want small fish.
tomorrow i goto the petstore an pick out a skimmer :D

 

[ErinCahir]

What about a coral beauty or a flame angel? They stay relatively small...

 

[fishsticks]

i was looking into a beauty real nice, but i sure would hate for it to outgrow everyone in the tank.

Coral Beauties only get to be about 4" full grown. That's a tiny fish for a 130g. Barely visible.

PRC is right, coral beauties are dwarf angels. They stay small. They are okay for a 30 gallon tank.
