Chalk Bass

[darthparj]

Hi all,

I am planning to add a McCoskers Flasher wrasse to my 50 gallon this week.

Essentially I would have a total of 7 fish, some corals and CUC in the tank:
2 clownfish
1 solorensis wrasse
1 royal gramma
1 firefish
1 tailspot blenny
1 mccoskers wrasse

I would also like to add a chalk bass, would this be a wise move or am I now bioloaded out? Would he chalk bass get along with the royal gramma? I currently run a reef octopus nwb 150 in the sump along with a refugium and GFO reactor.

Thanks

Would he chalk bass get along with the royal gramma?

This may be an issue, especially in a smaller tank. I had three chalk bass(es) in a prior tank and to my suprise they were somewhat aggressive.

I wouldn't say mine is aggressive, but he can hold his own if anyone tries to give him any trouble. I want to a Gramma to my 65g but since I have the Chalk in there I am holding off, I don't know how they would work out together.

Thanks! I'll hold off getting a chalk bass then

Ditch the Gramma, Firefish, and Tailspot Blenny and get a trio of Chalk Bass.

The interaction between the 3 is something to enjoy.
