anyone else run into 3 fish liking the same cave?

[Ethan Music]

well my foxface was the third fish I added he has a cave which is in the picture on the right side that mountain thing has a vig hole on the right side he goes there when the lights turns off and sleeps. I added a solon fairy wrasse and a melanurus wrasse few days ago and they seem to like the cave to. The solo fairy wrasse gets blocked by the melanurus wrasse from getting in and the foxface will block the melanurus wrasse. Thought they could share lol no bitting or anything is accuring just simply swimming in front of each other so they don't get in.

heres my tank when I first set it up about 3 almost 4 months ago and a week after it cycled. Aquascaping changed a little moved a middle piece to the left to make another cave but they don't care lol they want the mountain on the right.

In the wild, I have often seen multiple eels occupying the same "cave", in the aquarium less so because aquaria are small relative to the ocean. But my kitchen aquarium has a cleaning station with multiple cleaner shrimp and anthias line up there, sometimes five or more, to be cleaned.

That would be neat to watch was going to go for a cleaning station but I really love melanurus wrasses and had to get one. Don't know how compatiable a cleaner shrimp would be with one though. Also since im here what kind of clean up crews do you guys find the best and whats a good on line dealer? Right know just have turbo snails. Plan to add cerith and nassirus or how ever you spell it. But no idea what crabs to get or if i should and if a shrimp would be possible.


stocking list so far other than a clean up crew im done for fish

one spot foxface 3 1/2in-probably have to go or i might have to upgrade most sites say 75g but my lfs has one in their 1000g know and its massive
royal gramma- 1in
solon wrasse-2in
melanurus wrasse-3in
2 occy clownfish-1in ea

My foxface, dogface puffer, purple tang and melanurus wrasse are always in a traffic jam in my 5foot tank. The foxface and puffer would always swim together and i just got the melanurus wrasse and purple tang that were living together in the same tank and they swam together so now everyone follows everyone else around. Its funny how they have a good amount of space to spread out and they just follow each other everywhere.

thats what my wrasses are doing to my foxface lol. he doesn't mind but sometimes you can tell he gets annoyed because he will start flaring up. Exspecially since he was in the tank for about a month by himself and know a couple wrasses like his sleeping spot.

 

[Adam S]

Lol yea. my puffer and foxface were alone for a month or 2 and then i just added these other 2. My foxface bothered my puffer because he would folow behind him everywhere but now hes made buddies with the tang but the tang follows the wrasse so its basically always a traffic jam haha. The good thing tho is the wrasse and tang sleep on the opposite island as the puffer and foxface so thats good atleast.
