Paired Tank

[David M]

I have two chalk bass in my Caribbean 125, they do very well and do not get bullied. I have one queen angel as a feature fish, a mixed pair of drums (one spotted, one jackknife- seem to be a true pair), three cherub angels and one blackcap (trying to find a mate). I had 4 royal gramma's but I think the drums ate them, oops. These are all fish found in the same region, there is a harmony to the tank that I just have to believe is partially do to this fact. Queens have a rep as being nasty, but my tank is very peaceful. Blackcaps are known to be cryptic but mine is always out front & center. If this were a random group of fish I'd say the tank was overstocked, but it has been going well since June with all these fish.

My pairs: flame angels, striped high fin gobies w/shrimp, clowns, hemicyanea damsels, mandarins, dispar anthias, yellow stripe anthias, 2 pairs of threadfin cardinals- though they tend to hang out in a group of 4-

I highly recommend the dispars, btw, they are delightful fish
