Sweet Lips?

Ok I know they arnt reef safe. But my question is, how long could a 4" sweet lips last in my 90 gallon tank befor it would become unhappy. (yote ) you already answered so you dont get to play. i saw one at my lfs and fell in love with her exquist beauty

 

I have read that they grow pretty quick as I too was trying to justify getting one a while back. I think it would be too big in less than a year.

 

I would also say less then a year.

They are reef safe Just not small fish and shrimp safe.

 

I know you told me Yote but i just wanted to get some info from the other aqauirasts

 

Do you think if i feed her clams on the halfshell and some baby shrimp she would leave my cleaner crew alone:frustrat:

 

It depends which Sweetlips. One is reef sate with caution the other is not.
Striped Yellow Sweetlips
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Spotted Sweetlips

I don't know if there are others out there but those are the two on liveaquaria.

 

I'd suggest you trust Yote. Don't question the Yote! You'll regret it if you go against the Yote!

 

Go for it #2. It will give you a reason for an 850 in about a year! :lol:

 

I want to get the spotted sweetlips and you guys know me I jump in feet first with my eyes closed. so today #2 and I are thinking about going to get the sweet lips. I just cant stop thinking about it. She is such a beautiful fish . Im even gonna put it in the 210. I have remove 3 smaller fish to mke room for her

 

When he outgrows my tank yote I will give it to one of the big aquariums in my town so he will be a happy camper. And if thats not an option I will invite you over for a fish BBQ

 

Make sure it is eating before you take it the spotted sweetlips are sometimes hard to get eating.

 

Thanks winny I will make sure it eats b4 i even think about taking her home:Cheers:... you are awsome:bowdown:
