What about a pinstripe wrasse and a yellow head jawfish and some antheas. 60g mixed reef. No other current tank mates. Thinking about a midas blenny in the future.

Also what are best options as a clean up crew since the pinstripe wrasse eats snails.

Just curious about the care of flashlight fish, what are your opinions on keeping them in the first place?

Nocturnal. They get large and require a large aquarium. Best in groups. Difficult fish.

125g reef tank and looking to add:

Blotched Anthias
Sargassum Trigger
Purple Tang

Current population is a leopard wrasse and a pair of false perculas, both 3.5 years old.

Any advice or behavioural issues you see?

Thanks!

Your tank is a minimum for a Sargassum Trigger but they are excellent fish and should be fine.

40g tank, hob filter with skimmer and a heater. 30 lbs live rock, and 30 dry rock. Just bought a 120w led light. Plan on getting a 15g tall sump/fuge, and a skimmer. Just doing a fowlr for now until tank has been up for almost a year. Then plan on adding some corals not sure lps or sps that might depend on what fish I have.
Would like
1 or 2 (might be nice to have a mating pair) Ocellaris Clowns
Also maybe a tang of some kind to start The smallest recommended tank size for any tang is 75 gallons so your tank won't work for that; the clownfish will do fine.

Not sure what to do for clean up crew with this size tank

Thanks for your help and also let me know if my plan is flawed.

Around 80°, salinity 1.023, ph 8.2, ammonia approx 0, nitrates 5 to 10, alk about a 2.

A midas blenny will nip at the fins of water column fish.

Thanks, so cool you do this late on a Saturday!

I'm happy hear the tang and trigger would be ok together.
Any advice on which order to add? I am assuming the tang last.

I have a 55 gallon tank with 30 gallon sump. Current occupants are:

3 Occelaris clowns
1 Firefish
1 Bi-Color Blenny
1 Pygmy Angel
and a clean-up crew of snails and a peppermint shrimp.

Wife loves the color of the strawberry basslet, but I have heard they get very aggressive for their size.

Would either the Royal Gramma or Royal dottyback be better choices, or are all much meaner than their size?

Correct.

3 Occelaris clowns one will be killed or jump; only a pair can coexist
1 Firefish
1 Bi-Color Blenny
1 Pygmy Angel
and a clean-up crew of snails and a peppermint shrimp.

Wife loves the color of the strawberry basslet, but I have heard they get very aggressive for their size. a royal gramma is strongly preferred over the other choices because of aggression

Correct.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice on the Tang. Any ideas on a clean up crew. Was thinking a peppermint shrimp, a cleaner shrimp some snails and some red legged and blue legged crabs. Will this work and anything you would add. Thanks again for the help

I am going to upgrade to a 40 breeder, would any of the below fish be suitable as a pair? I would be willing to make my stocking list around them if it's possible.

Longfin Fairy Wrasse
Yellow Fin Fairy Wrasse
Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse

Or would there be any flasher wrasse pairs that would be more suitable? Thanks!!

Fairy and flasher wrasses need 50 gallons minimum for one, more for two. Sorry.

 

[Fish Biscuit]

Thanks Steve. What about a Royal Flasher Wrasse for a 40 breeder? Diver's Den shows them suitable for a 30, is that correct? Also, would it get along with one the of Possum wrasses & the Pink Streaked?

Possum wrasses, either pairs or singles are fine. All flasher wrasses tend to be very active so a 40 would really be pushing it, especially as a pair. Remember that all flasher wrasses are prolific jumpers.

Thanks, I will stick w/ the Possum & maybe see if I can find a pair on DD. I'll have a tank full of jumpers anyways so what's one more & I'll have a screen top

I'm looking to setup at 75g tank + 30g sump/fuge and have a general idea of what I want, but I know I need to cut down the list. Tank will be have a 3" sand bed and only have zoas.

2x true perc
1x flame angel
1x kole/tomini/yellow tang (could I do 2?)
1x royal gramma
1x carpenter flasher/red head solon fairy wrasse
1x firefish
1x bicolor blenny
1x mandarin goby

And maybe:
1x court jester goby
3x agile/blue reef chromis
2-3x banggai cardinal

I was looking to also keep 1-2 skunk cleaner shrimp, so would any of the fish bother them? And any particular order to add them?
Thanks!
