Who Gives A Fish Forums

fluxx you bumpin?

I agree with floralix, not kyle, since he wasn't mentioned in this thread. Coflake beauties and flame angels do have similar colourings and body shapes. I've also heard that bi-colours and flames mix better, like zeno4 mentioned earlier.

Good luck with the ich battle. 28-29 degrees worked for me during a whitespot outbreak, and I also fed a lot of garlic-rich food. I've been meaning to try Spirulina, seems like everyone's raving about it, and it's great that it's enriched in brine. Have a great holiday, and when you're back, pop by ...

Apparently, they can rapidly lose their colour when stressed, but in a stable environment, the colour should come back. I've also come across information that suggests tatty ends on fins aren't ...

Maybe hold off on adding any acanthurus till last, just to be safe. If you're moving the purple tang to the new tank, you might get away with adding another ...

Always thought a trio of lamarck angels would be amazing. Or, a harem of dwarf angels, that's something I've always wanted to try - could be really cool

sweet pic, looks amazing
