Bro if u really wanna go for Angel ( large species )

either u have big tank or just keep 1-2 of ur fav. that all cause in their nature they tends to fight agaist each other, even same species.

If u're lucky enough they'll live like happy family (which is very difficult)

By the way how's the goby i pass u yes??

442 or 422??

if 442 it's fine. 422 then abit overstocked. but i won't worry if your fish aren't fighting. if it looks good and don't fight then i say carry on! if you follow the literature text given by most american reefkeepers (the pioneers), then many many MANY or rather almost all of us will be guilty of overstocking. the americans keep it very light and don't keep as many fishes as we do.

but we can deviate from this rule provided our livestocks are healthy

True... Place where no bird will lay eggs... Lol

btw how do we define overstocked? How we know?

Somemore if fishes eating n staying healthy...

[raydiative]

if you are cramped into a small 10ft square room with 20 healthy people and are asked to live there from now on with food supply to you... would you like that??

[DUCADOS]

Hm... Good 1

[desideria]

we deviate from allot of rules lemon. LOL as long as all seems well and alive and healthy!.. deviate deviate!

[yikai]

of course don't over do it. if you squeeze 100 fish into a 3ft tank but all are feeding and healthy is still considered overstock.

i mean like if you are technically overstocking by let's say a little. maybe 1 or 3 fish, just close 1 eye bah.

[CFOh]

freshly hatched brine shrimp have a very high nutrient yolk sac attached to them in which they gain nutrients from. after 48 hours, the yolk sac will be depleted and the shrimp will have not much nutritional benefits.

thus, the earlier you feed the brine shrimp upon hatching the bettter.

Yes... But there is also some con's about using BBS...Hydra existed... I can't find the info from my old magazine.. but tried to search some articles from webs... pls find below:

http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/saltwater/Hellweg_Rough_Ride.html

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100109104245AAVP8mS

So, for those applying BBS for fry feeding take note.. risk exist... And I verified.. it is true.. most BBS from LFS.. contain Hydra... Sorry..... you might not able to spot them from BBS by naked eye... need high power scope....

This is how Hydra looks....

Cheers and Happy Reefing...

[yikai]

hatch the bba yourself and you wont be dealing with hydroids.

If you ask me, i would say no as my one even more. I have 50 liter tank with over 30 fishes, water change 20%/week. However, this is a real problem:

1. you cannot add any new fish in; resident fishes will fight new comer to die.

2. Time by time, it is peaceful when they are small, but change to aggressive when they are big.

3. Most attack happens when you feed them, small one get damage,
