Tired of banging my head, help pick a fish

[ron101]

I'm in the same boat as Mark except in this case my tang is a sailfin. The only other fish in my 90 gal is a maroon clown. Im planning to isolate these two and redo the rock work (the clown seems ok with other fish but he doesnt like me playing with the rock) before adding any fish again. Just wondering what sort of success people have had doing this and if its possible ot overdo it (ie if the new fish get too much time alone and then the isolated tang now gets picked on).

Thanks for the suggestions, more reading. The more rare fish, how does one go about sourcing then in Edmonton?

The rockwork is open (tang swims through it continuously) but still lots of little caves.

As for the clowns, they're Ocellaris. Had them for about 3 years and they're always up high, never in the rock. Does seem like they are playing in the flow, swim up to a nozzle get pushed to one end of the tank them swim back for more. At night they are right at the surface usually on their sides in a corner. Always wondered if a anemone would coax them down or would they just ignore it?

You could always special order a fish. AI does this as well as Big Al's. The wait times vary though as they sometimes don't get what is on their order list from the wholesaler so you may have to wait until one finally comes in (could be days, weeks, months).

You could probably do the same at Ocean Aquatics (phone Wendell and ask) or JL's (phone Jeff and ask).

Good luck Mark!
