Possible addition options?

[vcam]

Hey everyone !

I'm looking for options in a 50g reef.
Currently stocked with : Solarensis wrasse, Pintail wrasse, springers damsel, 2 small os. clowns and a "yellow" watchman/goby pair.
I've been looking around for a while so I know the options more or less. Asking more to see what you guys think would be a nice fit and keep everyone happy !!!!
Any ideas?

i would be extremely cautious with the damsel they get really aggressive/territorial as they get larger...as far as adding more fish you currently have imo a good amount for a 50g you definitely don't want them fighting for space

From what I've read it is one of the few damsels that will not go crazy.. or atleast that's the idea.

I wasn't thinking of another large fish, but maybe a goby, or something of the like... something small

Maybe a sailfin tang will do.

a sailfin tang should be in a much larger aquarium...it grows to over 1'

just be careful damsels need their space...i personally wouldn't keep one in a 50g

if you really need a small fish and have a tight lid then i would suggest a firefish

Thanks for the suggestion

I'm just heading to the LFS tomorrow (hour drive so I don't go often), and curious what (if I even have room) I could add.

Any Goby fans out there?

here's a good read on damsels by Sk8r...

you already have 2 clowns which can turn into more if they pair up...if that happens your gonna need a bigger tank or start selling...if they don't get eaten

Thank you for the read, it says 1 damsel in a 50g is okay. So far the only person showing aggression is the solar wrasse, and the always grumpy yellow watchman.

Who's gonna get eaten??

 

[ric167]

the possible harem of clowns...

 

[ric167]

I personally believe just like humans have different attitudes, so do our pets

and ever since i bought a mandarin I have tried choosing fish that will not out compete her for her main diet of pods

 

[ric167]

like i would love to own a pintail but already having a hoevens means my mandarin will eat a lot less to the point of possible starvation

neon cleaner goby.

Both small and a goby. Added bonus of cleaning your fish for you.

Perfect ! Should be no conflict with the watchman ?

Always open to my suggestions !! Means I can learn about more fish [emoji14]
