make room for ???

I figured the tang police would be around soon lol. He will get big, thats understood, but taking him to a lfs isnt always a good idea, since most stores are worse than our tanks lol. and smaller at that.

I would say loose the 3 stripe and get a pair of clarkiis maybe?

rochestertank · 04/08/2006, 11:09 PM

NC that's a very interesting idea. I haven't thought of just loosing the three stripe... different perspective. thanks..

i'm going to get some live bait and try to trap the damsels if i can and take them back. going to get the lightfoot out of there too then i'll go from there.

sounds good. since i figured you couldnt either part with all the damsels or catch all of them, at least get the "meanest" out of the tank first. and my Calrkii's are pretty hardy, and they hold there own against my finger lol. are the blue damsels yellow tails or just blue chromis?

nc they are just regular blue chromis - no not actually chromis they are regular blue damsels - no other colors on them. unless you look at them close they have silver spots really small.

they still are damsels that are mildly aggressive. that really sucks how your fish are too aggressive. i did the same and then restarted. i got a lawnmower blenny, a pair of ocellaris, a clown goby, a 6 line wrasse, some queen conches, a starfish, and an urchin in my 50G. b4 i had 2 butterflyfish, a coral beauty angelfish, ocellaris pair, a regal tang.... list goes on...and by the way, it sucked having all of these fish fight in a 50 G tank. but def. get rid of one of the damsels, the tang, and the sally lightfoot. start with something small and timid....and work up.

rochestertank · 04/09/2006, 07:03 PM

yeah one thing's for sure i'm getting "rid" of as many damsels as i can catch in a reasonable amount of time regardless of their color and i'm getting rid of the sally lightfoot because it's mean and ugly. but i do like the tang, the blenny, the pseudo, and the rest of the little monsters. oh yeah and when i rebuild i want to do more corals.

well clowns are too, whats the diference. Most clowns are quite aggressive in fact. Thats why myself and others suggested them.
