Please post a list of peaceful fishes you know.

[A. Grandis]

Only peaceful fishes, please.
For small, medium or large systems.
It would be interesting to limit just the lists for this thread.
You can place them in categories like: wrasses, tangs, etc.
lets see...

Thanks,
Grandis.

Id say outa the 9 fish in my tank. My most chill fish are my Bang Cardinals, Black Perc Clown and Lawn Mower Blenny. My chromis somtimes bug each other and the coral beauty can get a touch testy with the chromis here and there. But the clown and cards and LM Blen act like nothing else lives in the tank.

candy hog, but he is a big time jumper

The most chill in my tank is probably the Yellow Pyramid Butterfly.
Anthias also do their own thing and dont bother others.

candy hog, but he is a big time jumper

I have had a candy stripe/2 spot hogfish for close to a year and it was always peacefull till I added another potters angel to my 180g .

The hog doesn't seem to like the new potters.
It has never bothered the older potters and still ignores it and the other 13 fish.
Maybe it doesn't like another reef picker?

The fish does look cool when ****ed (edit; mad).
The thin horizontal red stripes turn to wide vertical red bars.

My midas blenny is very peaceful it doesnt bother anything. Its either hanging out in its hole, or out begging for food.

swissguard basslet

Starry Blenny, and my goby ranch. My Foxface is pretty laid back, too.

 

[imanewbies]

My vote goes to the threadfin cardinalfish(apogon lepthacanthus).

 

[velvetelvis]

Almost every fish I've kept has been peaceful.

Fish that were peaceful with all other life forms:

Threadfin cardinalfish (Apogon leptacanthus)
High-finned red-striped shrimp goby (Stonogobiops nematodes)


Fish that were peaceful to everything except possibly members of their own species (because they are best kept in mated pairs, or singly):

Ocellaris clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)
Pink skunk clownfish (A. perideraion)
Tiger goby (Elacatinus macrodon)
Yellow clown goby (Gobiodon okinawae)
Green clown goby (Gobiodon atrangulatus)
Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni)
Striped fangblenny (Meiacanthus grammistes)
Canary fangblenny (Meiacanthus oualenensis)
Canary wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus)
Foxface rabbitfish (Lo vulpinis)


Fish that were peaceful with everything except possibly other animals that might fit in their mouths:

Pajama cardinalfish (Apogon nematoptera)
Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni--also see above)

 

[steelcity]

My new Watanabei angel is very chill. Firefish, hoevens's wrasse, yellow watchman, and bi-color blenny.

 

[A. Grandis]

I've got peaceful fishes in my 75gal., that's why I'm searching...

pair of Cirrhilabrus jordani
a Cirrhilabrus scottorum
a Nemateleotris decora and
a Cryptocentrus cinctus.

The possible fishes to be added to the system will be:

Paracheilinus carpenteri
Assessor flavissimus
Pterapogon kauderni
Serranus tortugarum

Please keep posting your experiences...
Thanks.
Grandis.

I would worry that the fairy wrasses might beat up on the flashers in such a small tank. If those are what you have and intend to get, I personally would go with a pair of cherub or flameback pygmy angels. They can be a bit territorial but if you have plenty of noks and crannies they usually keep to themselves and under 3".

Thanks a lot for your post. Yeah, I was thinking about that also.
I don't want Angels nor Butterflies because I've got some zoas in the tank. But maybe it's enough of wrasses, you're right!
