    Angels are not high on my list, nor are butterflies. I have the tang, he is my big beauty. The rest I was to be smaller fish, perhaps not as colorful, but full of character. ;D

    I know....but my top is open...sigh...I may have to change that but, then I might get heat issues....

    How do you cover with screen? Do you make a frame or such? I have plexi I can use but that will make the tank warmer. :p

    Those flasher wrasses, do they display or something?

    Yes baby they do!

    A simple light wood frame to cover the open spaces so you ca easily remove to clean should be fine.

    I think I will investigate that a bit....I have not actually seen a wrasse in person, but the pics are pretty that I have seen.

    You the Wrasse Guy! Thanks! ;D

    PS> nice thumbnail photo!!! ;)

    Oh yeah, by the way, Wrasses be OK with my tang? and it WON'T eat my shrimp, right? (I know nothing is a guarantee but most likely)
