A fish that would go well would be one of the three species of the Wetmorella complex. Mildly reclusive and gentle

thanks, im sure my lfs can pair the gobies and the coral beauty if i ask him, he got the pipefish and the mandarin to eat frozen food, my tank is stoked with pods and i feed artemia everyday, there shouldnt be any problems

okay i try to get a wetmorella species then, can i get a pair(i just love to see them swim together etc like the mandarin or my clowns.) of Wetmorella albofasciata and Wetmorella tanakai or only 1 of those 2 species?

93g cube
20g sump
skimmer
carbon/gfo reactor

the plan is to have:
LPS/SPS
Snail only CUC
1 Cleaner shrimp
2 Picasso clowns (no anemones and no LPS large enough like an Elegance coral)
1 yellow tang (added last)
1 kole eye tang (if I can have two tangs at all)
3 lyretail anthias or squareback anthias (also added late)
2 Bangaii cardinals
1 Flame angel
1 ruby red dragonet or 1 red mandarin (I will need to supplement pod since my system is not overly large
1 orange spot goby

I'm not too worried about bio load being an issue, I'm very good about tank maintenance, more concerned with fish get along with shrimp and each other

either or both would work. Behaviorally, they are the same

Hello,

I have been setting up 220 gallon mixed reef with 200lb base rock and seeded with 50lb of live rock

The tank has been up for about a month and a half.
I have 75 gallon sump with a skimz monster protein skimmer and area for a refugium.

Right now I have 2 blue damsels, 2 clownfish, and a few hermit crabs.
I have a cleaner package from reef cleaners

What i want to order from boo zoo aquatics...

1 bicolor blenny
1 firefish
yellow watchman goby and pistol shrimp pair
1 royal gramma
1 blue sided fairy wrasse
1 Ignitus Anthias

Will any of these fish do better in a pair?

I plan to make one more fish addition in a few months of probably one or two tangs. Possibly naso, blue, or yellow.

Thanks!

I plan to make one more fish addition in a few months of probably one or two tangs. Possibly naso, blue, or yellow. Your tank is not large enough for a Naso (any of the Naso species) or blue tang (P. hepatus) . The yellow would be fine but should be the last fish added.

Thanks!

Thanks, I think i might hold off on the anthers for now then.

 

[concert_tom]

two bristletooths would be ok? should they also be added last and at the same time?

To give you an intelligent analysis, I would need tank size, stocking list/plan and tank maturity.

steve is a 125g (48x24x24) too small for a zebra tang?

With no other tangs and a mature tank, Acanthurus polyzona would work. They are not cheap, however.

TY sir.

I have a 55gal reef tank that is about 6 mos old. could I have a lawnmower and a midas blend in the same tank? I'm thinking no but I have quite a bit of Texas Holey Rock and other live rock...

Sorry, no.

Ok that's what I thought, thanks for the reply.

Hi Steve...

Will a Blue Spotted Jawfish be compatible with a Diamond Goby and a Filefish in a 125 reef??? Other fish are Tangs (Blue, FoxFace, Tomini and Powder Blue), Oscelaris Clown and 2 Anthias.

Thanks in advance...

I have another strange 40 breeder.

•9 Glassy Sweepers (Pempheris Schomburgki)

 

[jonwright]

3' 50 gallon tank 9 months maturity.

Current stocking list:
flame angel
goby/tiger pistol
skunk cleaner shimp

They've been in there since the beginning.

Sebae nem - 3 months
Max clam

Just added:

orange skunk
fire fish

Light on corals (natch) - frogspawn, monti, favia (that's not doing well - I have bright lights).

Do I have any room for another addition of a sh? While I wouldn't add anyone soon just wondering if there are any suggestions. Blenny? Another skunk in hopes of pairing? Fairy wrasses seem to need a larger tank. Chromis seem to be big as well. Bangai?

I have vertex 130 skimmer, 1 250 watt Mh, and prolly 600 gph going through sump with Tunze 6095 (currently not running - seems nem doesn't like all the flow).

You have too many tangs in that sized tank. I would not add a blue spotted jawfish to that mix. In any case, they need cooler temperatures and a very specific substrate.

"¢9 Glassy Sweepers (Pempheris Schomburgki)

Glassy sweepers are fine; usually they are in a larger group in a larger tank, however. It is the only true shoaling fish I know of that will exist in our aquaria.
