Hello again Ivan, no it`s not that i dislike any fish, it`s the fact that many new hobbyist know little or nothing about the fish they seek. A tusk will do great, in the wild they grow 15" . Perhaps you might think in having a Niger trigger with him and if you plan to keep them for there life span, then ill save one other fish to go with these two, you can have a number of fishes but which to mix in is something to think about, the Niger trigger isn`t agressive as few other trigger, he will become aggressive you you buy another trigger once he clams a territory. I`ll tell you what, you think what you want , all the fishes you wants most, and email me this at floabud@aol.com..
and i`ll tell you which to add first to last, one other think Ivan, i myself been doing this for 45 years, in one larger system i have a 12" golden puffer, 9" tusk , 10" emperor angelfish ( matter fact i rub her down, she loves it ) with an 15" lionfish but that`s only one tank. Ok so from this i see this tank is only in motion, right? gather the names the fishes you like most to have and just email them. Got to go babysit

:Hi Buddy:
: I am not new to fishkeeping but I am fairly new to saltwater. I know that overcrowding is never good and I know the very old saying that "the big fish will eat the smaller fish". My tank will have very few fish as I said before and my second post was merely to find out about the coloration. You don't seem too thrilled about this fish especially when it becomes an adult. I will keep this in mind when I start making my purchases (the tank is in perfect water quality but empty. I am not rushing to buy any fishes yet) but I would like to ask you what would you recommend instead of the broomtail. I was planning on getting a Harlequin Tusk also, so maybe I should only get the Tusk and forget about the broomtail?
:Look forward to a more in depth discussion of this,
:Ivan
