Thanks ill rig something up for the starfish

The 6 line wrasse was def on my list and i heard rollands damsels afent aggressive?..... if they are i wont get any damsels and ill prob pass on the chromis too

Thinking adding these guys to the 6 i already have

6 line wrasse
Green goby
Dartfish
Zebra dartfish
Flame angel
Pistol shrimp

Do a lot of research on that pistol shrimp. I had a red banded one and small snails and crabs would misteroiusly disappear. Also otherwise healthy and eating cleaner shrimp and green mandarin just disappeared one night.Traded pistol shrimp and no more mysteries in the tank.

Damn guess i wont be getting the pistol shrimp......

 

[Sandnukka15]

Im starting to think i should do a semi aggressive tank

Will a firefish, zebra dartfish and scissor tail dartfish fight?

I've never had an issue with my pistol shrimp.... Coral banded shrimp would definitely pick off livestock but pistol shrimp are pretty much blind. The fish would have to swim right into its burrow and even at that I'd think you'd find part of the body.

The dart fish may or may not fight. Do a search on keeping multiple firefish. You'll see many different stories. I have a purple and a regular and that get along okay. My wrasse keeps the purple firefish in check. It's kinda funny.

Yea when i did research i saw mixed reviews on mixing them so thought i would ask

That's just my experience, I am sure I got a rogue one. It was paired with a little YMG. I never put any LR or live sand or big colonies of corals in the tank so I know there were no hitchhikers (i always dip my frags). Mandarins sleep on substrate, easy target for pistol shrimp. Cleaner shrimp wonders around on the substrate at night, again, an easy target for pistol shrimp. My tank is fully covered so no chance they jumped.

Narrowed it down

Current fish
2 clowns
1 firefish
1 kaudrens cardinal
1 yellow watchman goby
1 scooter dragonet
1 chocolate chip star
1 emerald crab

Thinking about slowly adding
1 blue/green chromis
1 green clown goby
1 neon blue goby
1 royal gramma basslet

And maybe one candy pistol shrimp

Thoughts?

I know it seems like a lot of fish but most of these guys max out at 2-3 inches

 

[Sandnukka15]

Anyone ?
