May 4, 200620 yr Author comment_99965 Hi Guys Good Question Wasp only two fish, clowns. And one large Starfish. Had a Mandarin but he got eaten by something starfish or the BTA ? I wont talk to much about the fish I have lost that could be depressing. But I will say I know about white spot, The need for a good overflow cover, The importance of a good lid and also the need to also cover the quarantine tank . Yes lots I want to give my fish the best environment I can so I believe I will get something small and only one more for my tank volume. I'm more of a coral nut than a fish nut so corals first. But I really want to try a new fish. A long nose hawk would be nice or something similar. Report
