    i also like butterfly fish so does anyone know which one would be a good fit? i like the heniochus and saddleback. Also would a dwarf lion be a bad idea with the other fish i would want? I really like vol. lions but it limits my fish list to mostly bigger fish.

    Saddle back is beautiful! :) Isn't the Heniochus also known as a morish idol?

    no but it is a moorish idol look alike. from what i know they are easier to care for from moorish idols. Anyone have any ideas on some good tank mates for the 2 triggers, puffer an eel? im still stuck on the rest of the tank mates.

    I must say, you have perhaps had the most comprehensive fish list thread I've seen. It's been almost 2 months now. How is your tank doing? Have you cycled yet? I like you fish list. Have you added any fish yet?

    sadly i cant get the rest of the money together to get my tank started which sux so for now im just trying to get a good list together so i have something to look forward to. I still need to go buy a tank for my sump which i will probably have done by next weekend and if everything works out then i will get $150 bucks from a hockey playoff pool im in and my team only needs to win one more and i got it. Enough about that tho ha....I also need to get some base rock but the good news is i have some bowl rock already and some of the rock is pretty porous so.....Man its hard looking at my empty tank haha. would you suggest i put egg crate on the botom of my tank b4 i stack the rock? Also do you have any ideas on the fish? thanks

    Since you seem very new to SW in general, hence this 2 month old thread asking the same thing again and again, I would recommend you start out with a couple of Damsels or Chromies and then go from there. Good luck.
