I'd guess all those fish haven't been in the tank that long, wonder how they will fair after being so crowded.
Well here it goes, how the fishes were added, and still all alive. Today Feb 23, 2008
7 yellow tangs have been in there since May 2007 (one died found him in the GBT one month after i got him, growing and fat)
1 Pallet/blue tang in the system since Nov 2006 (bought him at 1+inch now over 6inches)
1 emperor has been in the system since Jan 2006 (started as juv. now almost changed colors to adult)

1 Pblue tang have been in there since Aug 2007 (gets ich sometimes but eats like a pig)
1 Fire angel in the system since Oct 2006 (fat and friendly)

I'm working on getting a 200+ gal ...give me time..it will be my second upgrade.. saving up money. My wife died back in May 2007 and raising 2 children alone is not easy. This is the only hobby I have and it keeps my mind in a happy place when I'm alone. Keeps the old noodles busy and away from thinking bad thoughts.
