I suggest a Raccoon Butterfly fish... Then give your corals to me

Seriously you need several small schooling fish, like Reef Chromis or something

 

[stlouisguy]

i have 2 chromis started with 8 but they killed each other thinking about anthias school

Your tank will tell you if you have to many fish. I have reached mine lately every fish I put in goes missing. It has a way of balancing itself out.

Also anthias are cool but you have to feed them to much. Most are 3-4 times a day.

well cut them off the list LOL

What other fish are good schoolers? That dont kill the others like the evil chromis

 

[danfrith]

How about some blue eyed (threadfin) cardinals?

 

[latazyo]

clark, anthias are what I was trying to remember the other day....remember I kept thinking anthelia?

even though they kill themselves off, I would still go with like 10-11 chromises

 

[TWINPEAKS]

Bangi or Pajama cardinals are cool schooloing fish.

 

[thatguy]

Firefish?

 

[paulamrein]

the smaller type of Heniochus also school. They are even called schooling banner fish in that one fish book.

Fade:

Impressive list. Do you have a pic of your mustard tang? I guess your yellows and purples get along well.

Thanks

 

[Fade]

I dont but here is a link. The yellows and purples are in two parts of my system.

Very nice tang...When you say two parts, does your tank have a divider in one tank or multiple tanks hooked up to one system. I am a little confused.

 

[Chelsey]

He's got multiple tanks hooked up to one system...he has a huge sump and then a fuge and I think a prop tank is plumbed in as well. Are things still set up that way John?

 

[frenchie]

i think he has it all plumbed together, very nice setup.

 

[Charlie's Angel]

That is awesome.

 

[zt444a]

John's system is indeed impressive. I was there a few weeks ago, and everything is plumbed together, and for all that flow it runs pretty quiet!!!

Wish I had his basement...
