Quarantine is nice, and in my opinion, essential, but in the last two years or so, chromis, in general, have been coming into wholesalers with Uronema like symptoms. Until I see evidence to the contrary, I have been cautioning against chromis, and in any case, groups always, or nearly always, reduce their number to one or at most two.

Okay my clowns are in and we think they are actually juvenile allardi. We are doing more research bacause tank is rimless...open. It looks like tiger/diamond goby might be common jumper. Also most wrasse too. It says canary wrasse less prone to jump but then we cant have feathers. Any suggestions on goby and wrasse that are less common to jump? Also looking at our list any other suggestions if not? No damsel....we not want them! Also no tang as we feel tank is to small and we want happy fish

somewhat aggressive when mature

with pistol shrimp, less likely to jump but still possible
Also most wrasse too. It says canary wrasse less prone to jump but then we cant have feathers.
correct
Any suggestions on goby and wrasse that are less common to jump?
virtually all wrasses except possum wrasses are jump prone, shrimp gobies with shrimp (which means a substrate) are less likely to jump. However, all fish can jump, and if harassed by tank mates may attempt it.

yes, your tank is too small for tangs. However, while I am always willing to analyze stocking lists (if you re-provide tank specs and tank mates) we do not provide recommendations for a variety of reasons.
125g 6ft fowlr,aqueon proflex sump,super reef oct xp2000 skimmer, i like triggers. can i keep more than one kind if so what kind and how many. also would like to know what kind of tankmates i could have. iknow this may be a bit broad but having trouble finding answer reading through forums. thanks
triggers are aggressive and some are very aggressive. My recommendation for triggers is to make your tank a species tank with the trigger as the only fish. In any case, we do not provide analysis of aggressive fish community tanks.
First of all, I do not provide analysis of aggressive fish tanks (puffers are aggressive), but some comments are above
In a 55 w/ 20 sump Mixed Reef
Have 2 medium tomato clowns
1 Large Banded Sleeper Goby
1 4 inch Melanarus
4 inch Fu Manchu Lion
Going to a 125g tank w/ sump June 5th. Stocking question I'm curious on if I can survive till the move would be dropping tomatoes for a 15 yr old big maroon clown and her hubby, flame angel (supposedly hasn't eaten corals or the guys clams), dragon goby.
Nothing the lion should be able to eat, and he'll be staying in the 55 post move.

Hello. I'll be setting up my 75 gallon tank next weekend. Will have 38 gallon sump/fuge. RO nwb-150 protein skimmer and about 50-75 lbs of rock. It will be a softie dominated tank.

1. Banggai Cardinal-tank bred
Purple Firefish
2. Royal Gramma
Court Jester Goby
3. McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse
4. White Tail Bristletooth Tang
Will these be ok? Thanks.

Yes, and the order is excellent. You dok however, have three fish that can be prolific jumpers so you will need to cover the tank with 1/4 inch mesh.

Thank you. And I already have the material to make the lid.

How about anemone shrimp instead of harlequin? Not sure how to reply to a message one here
Well, the theme of this thread is marine fish compatibility so that question is beyond the scope of this thread. In general, however, be sure you can feed appropriately the animals you are planning to keep which you could not with Harlequin shrimp.

Hi I'm moving a 125 gallon fish tank this weekend it has a skimmer, polisher , bio filter machanical filter also I'm getting one tang with the tank, there is also LR with zoanthids and discoma I believe mushrooms I guess I was wondering if I could add some hermit crabs to the tank a guy in town has 7 he has to get ride of ASAP .
As mentioned previously, this thread is only about marine fish compatibility so questions about cleanup crew are beyond the scope of this thread. Sorry.
