LFS has 3 Flame Angels in stock. They've been there about 3 weeks. $25 each.
Good thing they are closing in 15 minutes. Maybe tomorrow.

Thats pretty cheap. Make sure to check that the fish is healthy.

My :twocents:. I am hypnotized by mandarins, especially the psychadelic ones. I'm hoping to get one after my new tank cycles.:D

Two cardinals. I renamed my pair "Domo" and "Arigato" because they are like creepy little zombie robots.

You think I got enough tank for 2? I think 3 would be so cool, and my wife actually thinks it would be cool to have a little schol of the same fishies.

My ex cardinals hung out together but rarely swam around together.They like to hover in one place.I think you have enough for two.

ARGH!
2 Cardinals?
1 Flame Angel?
This is hard, because I know this is the last time I add fish to the tank. Unless I have another abduction or an actual death.

I like my wifes cookin' (among other things) too much to mention a larger tank right now. I WANT to, but I can't. I'm just so thrilled that she even takes an interest in what types of fish and corals I have in the tank. This is the first time that she and I have had a hobby together, and it's cool. The kids even love it. It's been great for the family. I spend more time with my kids. We talk about fish and I teach them about nitrates and copepods. I show them pictures of copepods and all manner of corals on the net. They help with feedings, after I prepare the food. It's just great.
I can't mess this up by asking her to spend another $1500 on a larger tank. That's probably what it'll cost me for a 100+ gallon tank.
I gotta just make up my mind on the last fish and have fun with this 30g for now. I do think it's a bit unique. I haven't seen another 30g high tank with a reef yet. Wish I had more light, but it's fine for entry level zoas, polyps, shrooms and a few fish.
Cardinals?
Flame?
:HELP!: :mrgreen:

I had 2 bangaiis for 9 years that had babies every 24 days that I could trade to the lfs for other stuff.. right now I have 4 PJ cardinals that are breeding but are yet to carry them full term....

A BIGGER TANK :)

Flame but get ready for a $60 + price tag,
Someone mentioned the mandrin goby (green mandrin goby or the psychadelic)... awesome fish. You should show your kids a picture of one, they'll think that it is awesome too! I vote for one of those, and a flame! You would need to make sure that it is eating at your lfs first b/c they can be tricky to encourage to eat aq food if recently caught.

I don't really like the mandrin goby. I know, I'm weird.:shock:
I have a 6-line wrasse that eats the pods in my tank, so I don't want to introduce another fish that eats pods. I don't have THAT many pods. I think the wrasse would eat all the pods and the mandrin would eventually starve.

It's tied up:
2 votes for Cardinals
2 votes for the Flame
Tough choice. I drove by the LFS today and they have 3 Flames. One of them has been there for a couple weeks. It's tiny. Really tiny. Like 3/4" . I like small fish though. Gives me time to watch them grow. The little one is $23 and the larger ones are $25. But, the bigger ones are about 2" already. Thats a little big for my tank right now. I haven't one yet. Still deciding. My gut is telling me that 3 cardinals are too much bioload for the tank.
Maybe I should just wait? I just put the new 6-line in the tank on Monday.

Theres your tie breaker.
Heres an idea for you.
Tell you wife you want to buy HER a tank,and help HER pick out the best corals.Then through in that with a bigger tank,the kids will be more interested and it might just be the ticket for them to go into marine biology.:beerchug:
