    If the "zebra cataline" refers to the Catalina goby (Lythrypnus dalli), it's not a good choice for a reef tank because it requires cool temperatures. It won't last long at temperatures above 74 degrees Fahrenheit. It's ideal temperature range is 64-68 F.

    Thanks for the heads-up, i had no clue (about the angels either)......too bad, sure is a pretty fish....but the green manderine is pretty, as well....and i have plenty for one to eat

    i am looking for completey peaceful fish to go in a 40 high....i don't want to stress my firefish or blennie

    i was looking at getting a black & white clown....but one site says peaceful & then, another will say semi-aggressive

    no no!. i meant if maybe some angels are like that as well.. that goby of what your thinking was one i would have later on the road as well.. i wonder if live aquaria mentions that.. ill check.. it does say up to 75* so it is cold water fish..thats a good heads up..
