Another fish recommendation thread

[Mike de Leon]

Here's what I already have:

Yellow Tang
Blue Tang
7 fat Chromis
and guess what the other fish is...

I tried a Flame Angel (turned demonic), He destroyed my Pink Lemonade.n Took a while to catch the little devil.

Looking for another two or three that are hardy and peaceful.

Pair of clowns

Another flame or other angel. Feed them well help decrease possibility for coral nipping. What is the outer fish in the tank. Yellow with black spot? A foxface?

 

[Mike de Leon]

Great suggestion, thank you. I guess I will need a carpet or something. Don't want them to host on the elegance.

 

[Mike de Leon]

Your kids look awesome!

Yellow with black spot? A foxface?

Looks like a Foxface to me Minh.

I would highly recommend a Centropyge angel. Flame's are usually semi-aggressive, but you have fish in there that can hold their own.

How big is your tank? Blue face like in your Avartar or Regal angel would be nice if your tank is big enough. I always have luck, and love, Flame angels but flameback or Cherub angels also work well. I would add a pair instead of one. Open tank so Wrasses are out of the question, other than possible Leopard Wrasse pair.
I am using a phone so I did not see your tank picture well. I was thinking you have a Crispa anemone instead of a elegance angel.

Thanks on the comment on the boys. The Avatar picture was an old picture. My oldest is 18. He is at West Point right now.

I take back the suggestion of Leopard wrasse. Then need a sand bed. With the crowned space with SPS in your tank and minimal sand I would not recommend any anemone. Rock dwelling anemones will murder your SPS and no sand to keep sand dwelling anemones happy.

What about some Anthias?

There's no red fish in there! You need a flame hawkfish. Lots of personality, very reef safe, gets along with all other fish, and I second the suggestion of a pair of clownfish. No maroon clowns though. Too aggressive.

does size matter? if not I would get 2 or 3 yellow clown gobies to perch around very cute and fun to watch and look for

It's a foxface. I am afraid of any nippers at the moment. I need for the corals to recover. The flame really nipped on the polyps.

Do you know any that is actually reef safe?

Tank is only 120 (48 X 30 X 21). I would love to have another large angel. The one I have on my avatar was one I had when my tank was a 160. Grew him from a baby.
Here's a pic!


Congrats Mihn on your kid! You must be very proud! I have three boys of my own.

I may consider Anthias. They need to feed tho quite often.

The Hawks are aggressive. I had one that killed a wrasse.

Are they hardy? They are very cute like you said. I might try a couple.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions!

I will look into the Leopard wrasses and add more sand. Will definitely consider clowns and anthias. These fish definitely fits the bill. I will snap some pics and post once I have them.

CHEERS!

120 gal, I would go for a harem of Centropyge angels but if you are really gun shy then a Watanabei Angel pair.
A Regal angel would be a really great addition to your tank.

 

[Mike de Leon]

Do Regals nip as well? They are beautiful.. Do you have pics of your tank?

 

[OrionN]

None of my angels nips. Take that back, in the past one of my Majestic nip, My C. nox nipped a lot.

Here is the build thread of my current tank, a 325 gal full of carpet anemones (both Haddoni and Gigantea)

One of my Regals. Nothing bring comments like a Regal angel.

Copper Band Butterfly is a great fish too. Reef safe.
