Looking to buy/find the following fish.

[Fitz19d]

Preferably "used" fish or at least on the larger size for most.

Flame Angel - Anyone had one that's been reef safe? Wish I could find my old one

Engineer goby.

Velvet damsel (The all black with neon blue stripes)

ORA Indigo Dottyback, or Springeri, or if I can find an Electric Indigo

Chalk or lantern bass x2-3 These must be at a decent/large size.

Not ready yet, but large healthy blue mandarin and probably one of the blacker/high contrast scooter blennies.

We have a lovely Flame Angel and are taking the tank down, just taking a break from the hobby. I would sell him, but not sure how to get him out until the tank is mostly empty... If you can think of an idea, I am up for hearing it! We have had him for year and he is completely reef safe, nice healthy 4"+ that obviously eats well. At a minimum let's keep in touch because we can get him out in the next couple weeks for sure! We are in Highlands Ranch.

I'm far away but travel a lot for work so coming down isn't the end of the world. I will have the next 2 weekends off for sure but past that I dont know my work schedule.

Coming in at night and doing it in the dark or suddenly blasting the lights and grabbing it while blinded can work. I've heard of for flames going fishing with an ultra tiny specialized hook. Depending on the tank, I actually have a lot of luck with pretty clear containers, even just like a shaker cup if you can get them in one corner, they while skittish of hand seem (any fish) to not freak out at edges of container so often can get it over them and against wall then slide it up. (Just did it w/ my fish in QT since they cant go in nets.

Speaking of, for a flame I'd be careful of net. Mines barbs and even scales seem to love to get caught in it.


If you wait until tank is coming down, that's fine, I am in no rush and I have a good tank waiting (300g)
