Hello all,
I recently moved from a Fluval 13.5 evo tank to a 58 gallon w/20 gallon sump tank.
I want to add some new fish but when talking to ppl at my LFS I keep getting different answers from different ppl on what is safe and not safe when keeping LPS and fish.
I want to keep the peaceful environment in my tank, but my family (daughter and wife) want to add some questionable fish where when I ask the LFS' they all say different things.
Currently I have 50lbs of live rock, and with that coral frags of GSP (isolated on a rock of its own, meteor shower frag, zoanthid frags, montipora frag, hairy mushroom frag and a small rose bubble tip anemone.
For inverts, I have 5 sexy shrimp, tiger pistol shrimp, a porcelain crab, a peppermint shrimp, 4 hermit crabs, 2 large strawberry top snail, a couple nassarius snails and some astrea snails.
For fish I have, 2 small clowns, a melanarus wrasse, yellow watchman goby, tailspot blenny, a tiny engineer goby, a green mandarin and a recently added purple firefish.
I intend to add some more inverts and snails for my CUC.. considering adding another cleaner shrimp (used to have an aggressive one) and maybe a tiger cowrie. Also a few more corals.. maybe some acans, favia or frogspawn..
And here is where I need some help with.... For fish, this is our wishlist of potential candidates:
Royal Gramma Basslet, Flame Angel, Lemon Peel Angel, spotted garden eel, porcupine puffer, lawnmower blenny, diamond watchman goby...
obviously if you have any other suggestions on colorful and peaceful fish to add to my current list that'd be great.
