The tang needs a larger tank; Reef Central's recommend tank sizes for tangs can be found here. Two chromis will become one chromis over time,

Thanks for the response.

Yeah. I know as far as the Tang goes. I keep dancing on the wrong side of that 70g line, but I am under it. I know when it comes time, there will be no Tang in my tank. I just like a good fish shaped fish! :fish2:

What about the Agile? It's a nice 3", colorful, "fish shaped" fish, but other than Green Chromis I don't know of any others that don't become annoying.

And the Midas is a good sized dude, and I have seen a few at the LFS swimming around the top of the tank. They look cool and busy. I have a feeling I am asking for trouble with these two though.

Well, all chromis will winnow down to one, and of course, chromis are damsels, which in small tanks can be ornery.

55 gallon with 22 gallon sump


2 ocellaris clown fish
1 helfrichi firefish I am not sure two firefish will be stable long term in this sized tank
1 purple firefish
2 yellow head jaw fish
1 Tanaka's pygmy wrasse
1 Royal Gamma Basslet
1 yellow tail damsel may have issues with the G. loretto

Except as noted, should be fine

Have a 29 biocube with a couple small clowns came home to find pod eating my zoos maybe looking to find a fish that can cut down there population and will eat other foods if there run out of pods. Any ideas?

copepods do not eat zoanthids. Most fish will eat copepods but there won't be sufficient in that sized tank to sustain them. It is best to pick fish that are behaviorally compatible with the environment you are providing.

Sorry, I do not see copepods eating your zoanthid. Many of the smaller copepods feed directly on phytoplankton, catching cells singly. Some of the larger species are predators of their smaller relatives. Many benthic copepods eat organic detritus or the bacteria that grow in it, and their mouth parts are adapted for scraping and biting.

Others believed it was a amphipod

different issue. In any case this thread is only about marine fish compatibility so I need to get us back on track.

That's what I was trying find out what would be good fish to add I have a 29 biocube with 2 clowns already was going to add a Randell goby shrimp combo but thinking I need something the thin these out to wanted to what fish may work but also eat other food when these run out

As those who follow this thread know, I do not provide recommendations for a variety of reasons. I am always happy to review your planned stocking list, however, provided you supply tank size and total plan.

while a sixline wrasse does eat copepods, it is also very aggressive, especially in a small tank, and will preclude most other fish being added.

I have a 75g w/20gal sump, 80 LR, 80 sand
I have :
pair B/W Ocellaris Clowns
pair Kaudern Cardinals
BiColor Blenny
One Spot Fox Face
Yellow Watchman Goby
skunk cleaner shrimp
Fire shrimp
pistol shrimp
I plan to pick up a Tomini Tang tomorrow, I would also like to add a Coral Beauty.
I always keep nori on a clip, sometimes have to refill twice a day when I had a Flame Angel so would I be okay to get another grazer ?

I plan to pick up a Tomini Tang tomorrow, I would also like to add a Coral Beauty. Adding two more grazers, one of which is largish, to this sized tank is problematic. It would be difficult for me to suggest that this would be wise. Even with two grazers, you would have to keep nori available constantly. And remember that a Foxface is not coral safe if it is hungry.

No. I would also remove the large hairy hermit as i will eventually get your fish.
