Im going to move away from the angel theme here and say that I have always always wanted to set up a species only tank for a couple Japanese dragon morays... drool. or, since they're not really technically fish, my other really-really-want fish: Halichoeres melanurus.

Wow.... what a sharp looking fish. It's interesting that the cleaner shrimp are doing so well at those low temps.

Justin:
Halichoeres melanurus is not a fish? Isn't it a wrasse? The one I googled was gorgeous.

I am in for the Clarion, I have been watching for one but I had no idea they cost that much. I guess I will need the million bucks first too! No wonder you don't see them for
sale. Yes I love angels and no don't forget the prazi pro, I have also learned that lesson.

Fishoholic I think what Leah meant was if we had a million dollars then these fish could be more affordable. She was replying to my post on first page...... A nice fish but again I would have to strike the lottery to buy one.

Diana that is a cool looking fish looks like part of a wrasse family.

Another cool deep water species is the iron butterfly very rare and hard to get they need cooler temps so a chilled system temps between 18-24c found in the waters in western and south japan.

Isn't a wrasse a type of fish? Either way cool wrasse.

Well, if we are going rare/expensive:

Belonoperca pylei

lol no, my bad; poor wording. I meant that the Dragon morays aren't fish; they're true eels. H. melanurus certainly is a fish (and yes, quite pretty too isn't it?)

Balistes vetula

and a 10 ft tank to go with it.

I saw one of these monsters at the baltimore aquarium, amazing.
