Have you considered a wrasse of some sort. I have a Canary Wrasse or Banana wrasse. Bright yellow and very pretty with lots of personality. I just posted a pic of mine in my journal if you want to see what they look like.

well i have just ordered my background. which is black vinyl sticker. same stuff used for graphics on cars and shop windows. it just sticks on and can be removed if needed by warming up with a hair dryer

I had the same problem.

Had a Cichlid tank for around 3+years. Still had all the original fish from when I started it, but I needed it out the way before I could start my new build.

Im sure you will soon forget it once the new marine tank has been set up!

good luck with the build.

[weejen]
