    Posted: March 21 2007 at 12:01am
I want to get a new fish. I want a fish that will put some movement about my 120g tank. I currently have a lawnmower blenny, purple chromis, 2 percula clowns, an orchid dottyback and 4 tangs. I am thinking of removing the tangs from my tank but still want some movement in my water. What should i get?

What kind of movement?

 I have a slow moving smaller lionfish, a fast moving puffer (who puffs when he's excited), chromis who move in schools, yellow tangs who flash bright yellow across the tank, a flounder who sails and glides across the tank even at the top, a blenny who darts out for food then darts away.....


  And seahorses who dance in the water!

 What kind of movement are you looking for?

I asked the same thing! I think he wants more peaceful fish and the tangs torment any new fish to death.

It wouldn't surprise me. He's been wanting to get rid of them. They were mine before he got the tank. Sailfin, Naso & Yellow-eye Kole Tang.

The sailfin is veliferum not desjardni. The naso is regular lituatus. I believe the sailfin is about 4 1/2" and the naso 5 1/2" Both are very healthy and have never been ill. We've had them 13 months.

I would expect him to check this post tomorrow. He was here earlier today and wasn't feeling well so went home to bed.
