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. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i236/Recty/humu016.jpg  http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i236/Recty/goldheart023.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i236/Recty/sohal012.jpg  My 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 :) http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i236/Recty/feeding002.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i236/Recty/Sohal009.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i236/Recty/humu012.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i236/Recty/goldheart020.jpg Well anyway, you get the idea, I'm a proud fish papa ;) Grant <Thank you for sharing Grant.
