Slipstream....while many people find Damsels to be mean (well...because they can be :)), I like them. Triggers and Tangs and Clownfish can be mean, too...but no one picks on them :)

I like damsels, they're colourful, hardy and cheap. I've often thought a tank dedicated just to them would be fun to have

I also enjoy most of my damsels. They are very hardy and were a good starter fish for me. However, if anyone can catch a large three spot who avoids traps, hooks and nets come on over, its yours.

You should try and get the half yellow half blue.The name slips my mind.A friend has 30 of them in his big tank.Very colourful.The black with mettalic green are also nice.Cant remember the name of that one either

And if you're looking for a stunning blue try allen's damsel have 3 in my fowler amazing cause they don't get very big and retain a nice colour.

Let me be the first to say this, boy you need some advise on setting up a real saltwater tank, the plastic plants gotta go. No disrespect but that's what a 1980 freshwater tank looks like. you need some live rocks :wink: Those fish can stay though, good choices on the fish.

I already know about the plants, and they are going as soon as i can afford to stock MORE live rock in it, and corals.. for now, they are staying. And as of right now, i have about 5 pounds of live rock, and gonna go out and get some more next weekend hopefully. But unlike some people, i cant go out all at once and buy everything i want, i gotta do it gradually, i bought the things i NEED frist, than do the wants next.. its called being FINANCIALLY responsible.


And for everybdy else that made COMPLIMENTS.. thanx.. I like Damsels too. and got just the 4 in there. Once i get more live rock, i might add one or two more fish, than ill stop at that before i go fish crazy and add too many.. lol.. But unfortuantely i cant find any 'good' damsels here in town.. Going to look into ordering over the net once i get a credit card :)

Everbody has there own taste.When I bought my first 90 fish only it came with 100 plastic plants.I tell you I made it look really good.If you cant afford you make do with what you have.Anybody in that area should donate extra piece live rock/fish ect.I wish you were closer I would fill your tank up.Ps you have really nice looking fish.Kaboom you have any stuff for this guy. Slipstream pm me your adrress and I will check about sending you a christmas present.Any fish you interested in.You want a purple lobster.
