Ok I'll be sure to keep an eye on things, trying to help guide my students' selection of livestock for their classroom reef tanks. Thanks for the assistance.
 
40b
20g sump
50 lbs LR, 60 lbs live sand

-Firefish (introducing first)
-2 occ. clowns
-flame angel or coral beauty
-ywg/pistol shrimp
-royal gramma
-flasher wrasse

Not sure if my tank is big enough for either of the dwarf angels, or if there is enough room for a flasher wrasse. Thanks!

-Firefish (introducing first)
-2 occ. clowns
-flame angel or coral beauty would prefer a larger tank as they graze on algae (70 gallons is normally suggested)
-ywg/pistol shrimp
-royal gramma
-flasher wrasse as these are very active fish, would do better in a larger tank

Not sure if my tank is big enough for either of the dwarf angels, or if there is enough room for a flasher wrasse. Thanks!
 
Ok, still planning out the stock list for my 55g. I've been letting my wife find some fish she'd like, and want to vet those choices and ask for suggested stocking numbers and order.

Here's a first go at some of what she's been interested in:

* Spotted Cardinalfish (probably 3, hopefully first)
* Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse
* Tail Spot Blenny
* Clown Goby, Citrinis
* Neon Blue Goby

I know multiple gobies is tricky, and cardinals and blennies as well. There's a dizzying array of choices out there, so it's pretty hard to decide.

* Spotted Cardinalfish (probably 3, hopefully first)
* Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse marginal in this sized tank due to activity level
* Tail Spot Blenny
* Clown Goby, Citrinis
* Neon Blue Goby short lived but should not impact the clown goby

I know multiple gobies is tricky, and cardinals and blennies as well. There's a dizzying array of choices out there, so it's pretty hard to decide.
 
Thanks for your help.

Had a chat with my wife, and she's fine without the wrasse or neon goby.

Are there any concerns about order to introduce if we go with:
3 x Spotted Cardinalfish
1 x Tail Spot Blenny
1 x Clown Goby

And is the number of each ok? I know the Wrasses like to be in a small school, but figured the blenny and goby are fine as singletons.

Thanks!

3 x Spotted Cardinalfish you mean cardinal fish?
1 x Tail Spot Blenny last
1 x Clown Goby

Thanks!
 
fine except as noted

Ok awesome, thanks!

What do you think about mixing these Anthias:

4x Bicolor
4x Bartlett's
4x Tukas
4x Ignitus
4x Dispar

I plan on feeding these every 2 hour for 12 hours/day with a combination of frozen and pellets. What are the chances that will jump in a 72"x36"x24" tank with 4" Eurobrace?

Hello,
Standard 75g with a 20g long sump. So far I have a pair of black and white occelaris clownfish and a Flame Hawkfish, a cuc consisting of snails and hermit crabs, euphylia's,shrooms and zoa's/palys. I would like to add:
(1) Royal Gramma (Gramma loreto)(had one early on but went awol)
or
(1) Caribbean Black Cap Basslet (Gramma melacara) and
(1) Yellow Eye Kole Tang (Ctenochaetus strigosus)
Thank you.
 
Ok awesome, thanks!

4x Bicolor
4x Bartlett's tend to be mean

4x Ignitus
4x Dispar

Any fish can jump. Eurobracing reduces the odds slightly but does not eliminate the issue.
 
Revised list
40b
20g sump
50 lbs LR, 60 lbs live sand

-Firefish (introducing first)
-2 occ. clowns
-agile or black and white chromis
-ywg or randalls goby/pistol shrimp
-royal gramma
-green clown goby

Thanks again!
 
125 gallon, dims: 72"x18"x23"
40 gallon sump
around 200lbs of LR
40lbs of LS
I have:
1x Blue tang(I know he will outgrow it but he is still small and I will either upgrade or sell when he gets too big)
1x Tomini tang
1x Maroon clown(he is a model citizen so far)
1x Six-line Wrasse(he is also a model citizen so far)
Looking to add:
5or9x threadfin cardinals(I really want a small shoal and heard these are the best for that)
1x royal gramma
2x fairy or flasher wrasse (looking at whip fin fairy wrasse or carpenter flasher wrasse, mated pair)
2x fathead anthias (mated pair)
3or5x dispar anthias

40lbs of LS
I have:
1x Blue tang(I know he will outgrow it but he is still small and I will either upgrade or sell when he gets too big) While he will get big, it is not a size issue but a behavior issue; most upgrades do not happen
1x Tomini tang
1x Maroon clown(he is a model citizen so far) When he becomes a she, she will not be
1x Six-line Wrasse(he is also a model citizen so far) aggressive
Looking to add:
5or9x threadfin cardinals(I really want a small shoal and heard these are the best for that) they will initially shoal, then pair off
1x royal gramma
2x fairy or flasher wrasse (looking at whip fin fairy wrasse or carpenter flasher wrasse, mated pair) whip fin is aggressive; flasher is fine, but the six line won't be happy
2x fathead anthias (mated pair)
3or5x dispar anthias
