I'm stocking a 5 x 2 x 2 FOWLR and am looking for a red fish or fishes that will be active and free swimming;)
I have looked at Flame angel - nice though expensive, scarlet hawkfish - not free swimming, filamented flasher wrasse - never seen one perhaps 2 off

Any other ideas and availabilty would be greatly appreciated.:)

Current stocking - small bursa trigger, yellow tang, juvenile emporer and blue spotted puffer - all juveniles.

djb1971,

Nice fish Bodianus Diana ??

Scott Michaels says it will get to 9.8 "

How big is yours ?.................fish I mean :o

Does it bury in sand at night or curl up in the rocks ?

Any idea of cost and availability ??

Sorry for all the questions I'm just trying to plan carefully ahead:)

Mine's about 7-8":p

Availablity - god only knows:D

Hides in the rocks at night;)

Cost:confused:

They are a brownish colour when young but still have the distinctive spots and turn into a gorgeous multicoloured fish - blues/golds/reds. The red doesn't show on the pic too well but it's a really deep blood red;)

Sounds excellent !!

I'll have a look round and see what I can find. But as usual I may need to look South of the border :mad:

Don't worry col, they've gone past the stage of putting your heads on sticks. I think they'd rather have your money:D:D:p
