Can semi aggressive be kept with aggressive fish.

Thanks.

Sorry, that question is totally unanswerable as it depends on a large number of factors, none of which are provided.

Thank you.

 

[twistedfinn967]

With the mystery wrasse, would I be better off to forego the addition of any other wrasses in general, or just the fairy wrasses?

I would not add fairy or flasher wrasses and would avoid copepod eaters such as dragonets.

I have a 65 gallon reef tank (36"L x 18"W x 24"H).

I Currently have:
Ocellaris Clownfish (Pair)

Looking to add:
Pair of Bangaii Cardinal
Flasher Wrasse
Firefish
Cherub Angel or Bi-Colour
Blue/Green Chromis
Yellow Tail Damsel

Aside from the cardinals, they will all be single fish. How does that look? Your input is appreciated

We are consolidating tanks. Final tank will be the 200gal. Current resident is a 7" Magnificent Fox. Can we add a 3-4" One Spot Fox? Other fish: 3" butterfly, 3" Moorish and a Hawk, 2 Dragon Gobies and Watchman gobie. Plan to add others later

No, it will be killed.

[MBC2012]

I presume you are saying that the Magnificent will kill the one spot?

Yes.

I am sorry, but I do not provide analysis of aggressive fish community tanks. That question can be posed in our aggressive fish forum.

Hi Steve, i'm about to add 2 ocellaris clowns from quarantine to my 75g DT that has recently completed it's cycle. My eventual stocklist is planned as follows:

Kole Tang
2 Ocellaris Clowns
Flame Hawk
Lawnmower Blenny
Diamond Goby
African Flameback or Coral Beauty
Midas Blenny
Firefish
3 Flasher Wrasses (possibly, if the tank isn't overcrowded)

My question is if adding the Flamehawk next would be too early in the order. Do you think he'd get aggressive with other fish when i add them down the road? One of my favorite LFS has one for about 1/2 the usual price, so it'd be cool to pick him up if it wouldn't create issues. There won't be any shrimp. I have not added a CUC yet, but will be doing soon once the DT accumulates some waste.

should be fine. They are not shrimp safe, however, which in your case is not an issue. I would not do a midas blenny with the planned stocking list as they nip and you have several planktivores

I am in the process of setting up a 29g (30"W) FOWLR / future reef tank with macro algae and soft coral.

Stocking list that I am considering:
Sunrise dottyback x 1
Court jester goby or yellow clown goby x 1
Panamic barnacle blenny (Hancock blenny) x ??? (I have a barnacle already)

Will these work together and how many of the blenny could I safely stock?

Stocking list that I am considering:
Sunrise dottyback x 1 very aggressive and will preclude the others you are picking
Court jester goby or yellow clown goby x 1
Panamic barnacle blenny (Hancock blenny) x ??? (I have a barnacle already)

Will these work together and how many of the blenny could I safely stock? assuming you remove the dottyback from consideration, two or three would work well.

 

[showmebutterfly]

Thank you, Steve. I will need to do more research to find something I like that will be compatible with the goby and blenny. I am finding this much more difficult than anticipated.
