Sohal Success; stkg. 2/14/20
Bob,
<Steve>
I was reading your glowing perscpective in the stunning Sohal. Many
horror stories exist out there of these fish becoming belligerent to
even killers as they reach 8-9”.
<Indeed they can; and do often become a/the "alpha" fish in their
setting>
All compatibility issues are a gamble, but in your experience to I have
a decent chance of success with a Sohal combined with a Vlamingi, a
Fowleri, Naso, Dussemeri, Hippo and maybe a couple zebrasomas in a 650
gallon system?
<Mmm; I would likely skip this Acanthurus introduction here. You have a
goodly number of compatible surgeonfishes... and it would be a bear to
try removing a troubling specimen. I would go ahead w/ adding the
Zebrasoma, maybe some Ctenochaetus here.>
Other tank mate will include 3-4 large angels, pair of sunset wrasse,
red breast and Broomtail wrasse and a Spanish hog.
<All else I give you good odds in getting along. >
Thanks!
Steve Offutt

Re: Marks on Niger trigger face
12/23/08 Good deal, thanks for alleviating my concern. I
was pretty sure it was physical trauma but it's so hard to
tell, I don't have a lot of experience of fish self abuse I
guess. <I have seen such "pitting" times before...
does generally heal over in time> Thanks for the compliment on
the pictures, I recently bought a new camera and have been having
a blast. I'm going to Hawaii January 31st, I'm really
contemplating buying the underwater covering for it so I can get
some fish pictures :) <Ahh! I encourage you to purchase the
housing, try your hand here> I attached a couple of my
favorite pictures I've taken over the last week I've had
the camera. Feel free to use any of them you want, if you had a
use for them, it's the least I can do for the help you
provide. <Thank you for sharing... I esp. like the pic of the
young Sohal> I didn't want to bog down the email with lots
of pictures, but here's a couple links to the other
noteworthy images, if you enjoyed the ones I attached you'll
like the ones I've linked to.

clown's chipped tooth!
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i236/Recty/clown016.jpg I
particularly like this feeding shot. I put a small Sohal tang
into the mix a couple months ago and started feeding Nori, I
didn't realize how much the triggers would dig into it. I
cant even use the standard "Nemo" looking algae clip,
the clown trigger is such a brute he just rips it right out, so I
have to use my magnetic cleaning pad to hold the algae on.
Anyway, I love this shot :)

Well anyway, you get the idea, I'm a proud fish papa ;) Grant
