Looks great with the new lights!

I hate that chalice! It's the same colors as the one I lost :( ah well I get to see pics of it and now yours :)

thanks les!! ive been told they're pretty hardy so thats why i went for them. and it was only $10 :) there are some really nice chalices out there too! im still undecided as to whether i should get a flame angel or not. a lot say they would do fine in there when bought around the 5 cm mark. or should i wait till i get a bigger tank and go something else. i just love the colours on that fish!

 

[Priscacara]

Go on just rub it in! My best looking chalice I got from a fellow member and I managed to kill it! Lol they usually are hardy this one just had issues with Aus Post I think, I'll wait till your is big and get you to frag me a piece :D

 

[daniel borja]

sure thing Les!! it seems to be growing already. its glowing green around the edges. im guessing its trying to grow more mouths...?

 

[Priscacara]

I think they just spread out new growth and up pops a new mouth when there is room.

 

[daniel borja]

okay sweet! well theres about 12-15 mouths now. need some glue to stick it on. just sitting on the rock atm and worried the scooter blenny might want to sit on it just for kicks :P

I would not really consider any angel reef safe. There are some that are better than others, but most will have a go at your corals etc

If you do get one, eventually.. make sure they will let you return it in case

thanks for the heads up @aussieant32 :) what else would you recommend to put in the tank? kind of swinging towards a banggai cardinal and/or midas blenny. dont intend on putting any fish till after i get back from my holiday with the girlfriend though haha. i would love to see you set up a nano tank mate :) i reckon you'd do wonders!!!

 

[aussieant32]

been there and done it. Much prefer larger tanks.

Banggais are cool, but alot of people say they are boring after a while. I love the striped cardinals, I have 6 and 2 checkered, really like them. Blennies are cool, I have a lawnmower, probably my favourite fish.

 

[daniel borja]

he looks to similar to a scooter blenny, which i already have. but i have to agree, they're pretty cool fish! do you have a tank journal on your nano? would love to see it! i love the orchestriped cardinal. but they seem like the kind of fish that prefer to be in groups?

 

[aussieant32]

dont think I did one, it was pretty basic not very exciting.

 

[daniel borja]

ahh fair enough
