What fish do you like for your reef?

[johndoan1106]

So I'm about to buy some fish and wanted to get a feel for what everyone has in their tanks or want in their tanks for fish. Basics to exotic...what do you like?

 

[Bebo77]

tangs and anthias... love them...

 

[Macimage]

Anthias, Genicanthus Angels, Wrasses, Helfrichi Firefish and Tangs.

assessors!

 

[Elmer]

blennys they are very nice

 

[karm40]

Mandarin Goby, Jawfish, Midas Blenny, Blackcap Basslet, Chromis, and Cardinals...

 

[john37]

Sunburst Anthias, Regal Angel, Powder Blue Tang, Bellus Angel, Laboutei Wrasse, Lineatus Wrasse, Mystery Wrasse, Yellow Accessor, Peppermint Hogfish...i would put more angels, but then they're not always reef safe.

 

[djorijun]

Lawnmower Blenny, Gold Band Maroon, Purple Firefish

 

[bromion]

I can't believe nobody mentioned Clownfish!

 

[EmDy]

it's not what we like, it's what you want and like. I knew angels are not safe and I got 6 in my tank. eventhough they do nip at sps but I will live with my decision.

SPEND ALL THE MONEY YOU CAN ! here's a list for you

black tang
gem tang
hawaiian flame wrasse
Laboutei wrasse
Lineatus wrasse
Mystery Wrasse
Rhomboid Wrasse.
school ( like 3-5 ) of Borbonius Anthias
Golden blenny.
Snow clown

i believe everyone is going to agree this is a banking list and if you have all these fish in your tank, it's going to be REALLY REALLY BAD A$$

Well I have a 1 time opportunity to go to a wholesaler next week next to LAX and wanted to see what I should get. These guys have everything so I'll be getting good deals. Anyone want any fish?=)

Someone like me...

I have two but there are probably 12 more that I would love to keep.

Again, it isnt what we like, its what you like. You just have to be able to live with the decision.

be careful w/ buying/adding too many fish to your tank at the same time. hopefully your system has matured enough to sustain the added bioload. that's the temptation w/ wholesalers and the good deals, we can't resist adding "just one more fish".

Well good thing I've prepared and have been waiting for 2 months to go so I have 2 20 gallon QT set up in the garage along with a 10 Gallon hospital tank for meds only.

What's a snow clown? Pictures are worth 1000 words.

 

[ktrandc]

Hilfrichi and fairy wrasses. I really love my female baby crosshatch too.

 

[JOSE CASAS]
