The problem is that firefish are easily intimidated and you would rarely see the dartfish once the clownfish become sexually mature because they would guard their 20-25 gallons of tank space.
PLEASE check out your intended fish purchases here first!

Understood. Thanks again! I should have started with a larger tank.

So after constantly using this site viewing other peoples questions, I have finally decided to join!
I am purchasing an AquaReef 275 Cube soon, and will be starting my first marine tank. It's a 275L (72 Gallon) cube tank, lighting, sump and skimmer included. http://www.fantaseaaquariums.com.au/...e-aquareef-275
Eventually I will be getting corals, so I need fish that will be reef safe
This is my wish list for stocking so far:
Banggai Cardinal
Pajama Cardinal (Spotted Cardinal)
2 x Ocellaris clownfish
Purple Firefish
and a peppermint shrimp.
I am wondering what else I can add to the tank, I want a nice feature fish that will stand out but get along with the others.
Also thinking a Goby and Shrimp pair would be awesome!

Hi Steve,
I have been refining my plans for my currently cycling DT and would appreciate your thoughts. Tank is 34 gallons (inc rear sump) and has 45lbs of live rock. Current CUC is assorted snails but plan on adding 2 skunk cleaner shrimps later. Will also be adding softies and LPS corals.
Current stock in QT:
1 Bicolour Blenny
Planned additions:
2 Ocellaris Clowns
1 Hi-Fin (Antenna) goby with Alpheus Randalli pistol shrimp
1 Royal Gramma
1 Banggai Cardinalfish
I would also like your thoughts on any stocking order I should follow.
Thank you!

we have a 125g with 55g refugium, skimmer, live rock.
Currently have mixed reef - softies, LPS, & mushrooms.
Current fish: Perc clown, royal Gramma, neon goby, & Pink Spotted Watchman Goby
We are currently tying to plan out our future stocking list. Here are some of the ideas we have:
McCosker's Wrasse (this is pretty much a set thing, we have a covered tank as sadly we learned that lesson several years ago and do not wish to repeat it)
Scott's Fairy Wrasse
Purple firefish
Midas Blenny
Flame Hawk (only if we decide not to go with any shrimp. the verdict is still out)
We were in the LFS store today and saw a Hectors' Goby that my husband liked. This would be a consideration, however did not know how that would go with the neon goby and if they will coexist.
Also saw a red tail honey damsel, that we were told by LFS was peaceful??? I cannot find much info on this and thought that damsels tended to be aggressive. We would be happy with this instead of Hawk if we decide to get shrimp and it would work with the above fish.
Would like a larger fish, however not really interested in Tangs or Angels. So we are pretty early in the planning stage.
Thanks for any advise.

Thanks for the input! I really didn't believe it when they said the damsels were peaceful, but just wanted to double check. Appreciate the feedback.

How many flasher wrasses could you keep in a 125 with the above list?
No real answer. 3-4 would be safe but not of the same species. However, with different species you can have a male and multiple females.
Sure, I would be happy to do so. Be sure to provide tank size and total fish stocking plan.

Stocking Advise in 40 gallon
Stocking Advise in 40 gallon
My second tank has finished cycling and I plant to move 2 ocellaris clownfish, 1 purple firefish, 1 tailspot blenny, 2 yellowtail damsels, and 1 cleaner skunk shrimp. I have lots of live rock in the tank about 3 inches of live sand.
I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions for maybe an additional 1 or 2 more fishes that could get along with my current live stock.
I would like something that is peaceful (or atleast will get along with my current fish) and that is active and colorful (not like my blenny and firefish that hide all day).
