go ahead man!thats how i started of FOWLR 13 years ago.angels and butterflys are such beautiful fish to watch.make sure when you adding in your angels.you do so all at once or small ones first and then the larger as they fight like tangs.

Damn, some nice fish there. I don't see a problem with the mix of surgeons, butterflies and angels. The only problem is a lot of these fish have specialised diets so make sure they eating before you buy them.

Mekaeel · 1 Jul 2007

a good marine mix usually sorts out these guys diets as it contains a bit of everything in it

dean do you dive?if so itll be lekker to catch your own specimens for your FOWLR,i found that i appreciate my tank more with the fish i catch rather than the ones i buy.but you obviously gotta buy certain fish thats not found in our waters

At least keep some low light, easy to keep softies and shrooms.

Everything will work except the meyers. They are specialised feeders, only eating the polyps off sps corals.

We have a lot of Lunulas and Vagabonds here but I am too scared to put them in because of the kak water we have here. My kids always catch em with no 24 hooks
