Off to the sale.

Heading to the lfs tommarow, big sale.
50% off all fish and 25% off of all corals, live rock, and inverts.
Hoping for a coral beauty, if they have one.
If not there is the need for more live rock, starting my new tank.
I might get a cleaner too.
Sounds like it will be an expensive trip even with the discounts.

Sounds cool man. I just picked up a CB today. Very cool addition to a tank.

oysterxfast5 · 12/29/2007, 05:44 PM

CB is that just short for coral banded shrimp?

J.russell · 12/29/2007, 05:47 PM

Oh sorry, Coarl Beauty

oysterxfast5 · 12/29/2007, 05:54 PM

I like the looks of them. Some people say they may nip corals and some say they are fine. Just how ever the fish is.
I would be ok with a flame angel if they don't have a Coral beauty.
I want a dwarf angel for some reason.
Still don't know for sure if a 46 bow front is big enough.
I have read 30 min and on other sites a 50 min.

J.russell · 12/29/2007, 06:17 PM

Well Ive had him in my tank about 6 hours now and he hasnt touched anything. Guess Ill see over the next few days tho.

I dont know about tank size though. marinecenter.com says 20G min.

oysterxfast5 · 12/29/2007, 06:19 PM

I wanted to get one a while back but never did. They had one at the store with a weird history.
Said it killed yellow tangs, or at least thats what they said the people who brought it in said.

J.russell · 12/29/2007, 06:22 PM

Uh oh. I got one of them too...lol. Ive never heard of them killing other fish but Ive only been in this hobby a few months now and have been doing alot of research.

I have found http://www.marinecenter.com/fish/ang...utypygmyangel/ this website to be right on with what my LFS say. And on of our local guys here does nothing but SW and he is very knoweledgeable(sp?...lol)

oysterxfast5 · 12/29/2007, 06:27 PM

I dont think it really killed them. They are supposed to be a docile fish.

DaveG99 · 12/29/2007, 06:31 PM

I had a coral beauty in my 55 gallon a long time ago and he was a model citizen. Never hurt anything.

oysterxfast5 · 12/29/2007, 06:33 PM

I hope it is a good one if I do manage to get one.
I would think it would be ok with my cinnamon clowns and the ywg and royal gramma.

kenwendyb · 12/30/2007, 11:01 AM

Have Coral Beauty for years. Love her!! My Maroon Clown nips at her every once in a while when too close to his furry mushroom. No other probs or concerns. Great fish!!

Preuss by chance??

oysterxfast5 · 12/30/2007, 02:02 PM

Nope not preuss, haven't made it up there yet.
It was a sea dwellers, not sure if you are supposed to say the name of the store, nobody ever does on here but it is a good place.
I got a coral beauty. I hope my female cinnamon clown is just hazing it a bit. It has it stressed a little bit. I driped it for about a half hour.
It was in by the rock work but now it is by the corner. Hope it will be ok.
I also got my free cup of sand for my new tank, about 7 pounds of live rock and my hydro #2.
It was worth the wait out side in the cold.
Starting to feel my toes again.
One last thing, would it help if i turned the daytime lights out? To help get the fish to feel safe. I never have great luck when adding a fish about the size of the female.
Something smaller and it is ok.
