    Hmm ... didn't know they even had that option ....

    But, a McCosker's is on my stocking list as well.
    If you get one I'd be interested in how it works out since we have pretty much the same fish in our tanks.

    P.S. this thread is driving me crazy ... what will it be?
    Six-Line?
    Royal Gramma?
    McCoskers?

    Arrrggggg ..... :crazy:

    6 line is far more aggressive than a gramma...they have been for me at least...

    awesome cheap fish is the flame cardinal. passive but not a complete push over and bright red which is always a winner. lots of other good ones in here too, I just wanted to be different.

    6 lines can get very aggressive.

    I would say get either a gramma a chalk bass or a more peacefull wrasse of some sort.

    I'm going to be the odd person out here and recommend that instead of more fish, you buy the supplements and test kits that you said you were going to buy before you bought your corals :D

    If you don't get a hang of the chemistry part of the hobby, you're not going to succeed and I really want you to succeed.
