My Wife's new fish.

[Mr. Ugly]

Do those large ones still fizzle about like the small ones? It looks like a mean little fish with horns, thorns, and teeth all over the place... but if it has two tiny fins and kind of flutters about it'd almost be laughably cute

Mike, your wife NEEDS one of those cute cowfishes.

Yah, I was talking to Jim yesterday about all those poor fish that people buy on impulse.

Thus the wise-acro comments

Big ones have a lot more personality then the little "Boston Beans"

This one likes to come to the top of the tank when you are standing by it and spit water at you.

Angels, tangs, triggers, filefish and a few others love to do that

Where can you buy those green filefish with the yellow lines? Even since I saw those I thought they were awesome. Are they reef safe and are they they bully or the victim?

EDIT:

Here's a picture of the one I'm talking about...

Matthew, just wait and let your wife get it for her tank instead.

They are for really advanced reefers only. Until you can properly ID the color it's not the fish for you (orange spotted file fish). Not reef safe, in the wild they only eat SPS polyps but will eat other polyps as well. Wait a few years please.

OK
