Blonde naso or imperator angel..

[linnyesg]

Mystery wrasses are pretty sweet. I also enjoy my leopard wrasse and Flame Hawk. The Flame Hawk is a goofy little guy, fun to watch.

thanks for the replys sofar.. the wife has been after me for years to get a blonde naso

[coolbreeze]

blonde naso

[agreeive?fish]

looks like the blonde naso is in the lead so far

[wmatt140]

I have a regular naso but if I had a do over I would go with the blonde. My naso is great though. While other fish hide when working in the tank/water changes, he just keeps swimming around like its no big deal.

[agreeive?fish]

i almost got a beautiful naso about a year ago but it never started eating, it was mine and on hold at the lfs until it started eating but it failed to ever even take a nibble of food.

the fish in my tank are all bold when it comes to being out in the open as they dont give a flip if i got my hand in the tank or not i guess iam lucky that i dont have anybody who feels the need to be scared of the hand that feeds them

[kac01]

Get a couple of tangs. I have three purple, yellow, sailfin, cheveron,and a bule hippo. They all do great together.

[Clue]

I am a big fan of purple tangs but a blonde naso is a good second choice

[agreeive?fish]

yellow tangs are out.. they are my nemmis fish.. if i look at a yellow tang it will kill over dead on the spot.. it dosent matter what setup/tankmates/lack of tank mates ect i use i will kill a yellow tang.. i have put a yellow tang in a 210g fowlr 3 year old system after removing the other fish and the tang yellow tang still killed over with in days but i can put a powder blue in the same tank and it has thrived..explain that one.. yellow fish in general kill over in my tank with in days nomatter which tank i put them in..display(175g,210g 200g 30g 29g ect) or qt it dont matter

[Pawky]

If I were in your situation I'd get a blonde naso or a purple tang.

[serpentman]

How 'bout a sohal or clown tang. Either would hold their own against aggressive tankmates.

[gt6188a]

Queen Angel is very pretty.

[wildman6809]

blonde naso or vlamingi

[agreeive?fish]

dang another wife wants fish..the queen angel

where's the suggestions for fish my wife dont want but i do..lol

[reefkeeperaxm]

Queen angel or blueface, both are stunning fish.

[Chris27]

Blonde Naso

[agreeive?fish]

Queen angel or blueface, both are stunning fish.


isnt the blue face a little on the timid side as far as large angels go?????

[OldNemo]

I vote blonde naso if you want a piece loving tang. He may lose his streamers though with the Clown trigger. My second choice would be a Sohol. Both a very striking. The Sohol may hold his own against the triggers too.

Either way, congrats and post some pics!:beer:

[agreeive?fish]

^^ pics will be determined by the choices of fish avaliable that would work in my tank vs price/quality ect of the avaliable fish..if nothing thanksgiving weekend then we will see whats avaliable for my christmas trip (mom lives in the town of the nice lfs)

[quickgray02]

I would go with the blonde Naso or a sohal both are great looking fish

[sc reefer]

If i were you i would perhaps try a shoal of blue tangs. I only have one but have heard they do great together.

[Blownsvt]

i would get an emporer angel. one of my favorite fish and i would absolutly have one in a heartbeat if i had a FOWLR tank. I may dabble with putting one in my reef as it is.

[linnyesg]

Sohal over Naso. I had a Sohal, Anemone killed it.

[FISHSTICK745]

blonde naso(male) if you can find one, but female looks just as nice!

[agreeive?fish]

iam thinkin queen angel and sohal tang and that will finish out my stocking of my agressive fowlr...then i can start on my more delicate harder to keep fish in my other tank...of course if i find something else for my other empty tank 1st who knows which way i will go

[agreeive?fish]

well iam headed out this am for the thanksgiving fish shopping trip..will i get something or mot who knows

[agreeive?fish]

I came home empty handed and fishless,, what a bummer hopefully at christmas time they will have something to fit my tank(s) that i am interested in

[Johnnydee]

yes, a queen angel is absolutely beautiful.

[potterjon]

that is big clown trigger. Did you say 7-8". I would make sure that whatever you put in there is rather large.

[agreeive?fish]

yes 7-8 inch including the tail.. sofar he is a model citizen but iam under no illussion that he will always be a model citizen.. .. i contribute that to the trigger being well feed, never feeding live foods and having a sailfin tang who is the old man on top of the hill in the tank

[Aquarist007]

I hate to chime in at the end but why not get them both :)

[Gatorzone19]

Queen Angel or a Spanish Hogfish!

[agreeive?fish]

I hate to chime in at the end but why not get them both :)


this isnt the end..just because i came home empty handed this trip dosent mean next trip will end the same way

[Bonta]

Bird Wrasse
Dragon Wrasse
majestic Angel

[gtaylor67]

Try a Sargassum trigger.. Or a Purple Tang... Mine Purple Tang holds his own very well LOL

[aaronnohren]

Blonde Naso or Sohal

[HUNGER]

if its that hard to decide just get them both
