what kind of fish does everyone have?i thought it would be interesting or spark a little conversation. right now until i finish my basement all i have is a 29 gallon with about 14 corals in it with 2 turbo snails and another unsure which kind and 1 scarlet hermit crab. and an empty 120 gallon and empty 20 gallon.
 
Want some damsels?

I have clowns. 9 tanks.

In the 300 G - soon to be dry, I have a small/medium Clown Trigger, a Cinnamon Clown, A pair of 3 stripe Damsels, and 2 Yellow tail blue damsels. (I think this tank is being wasted.)

In the wall of 40's... we have 4 pairs of Maroon Clowns. (4 seperate tanks. I have a Scarlet hawk from someone in the club, a Black Cap Bassellet, and a Royal Gramma, and a pair of Tomato Clowns. Until recently, I was using the simplicity method with these tanks. NO real rocks and decor. Maybe a flower pot or occasional rock. NOW they are all FOWLR.

In the 30 reef... soon to be a 75 reef (#2)... I have another pair of Maroons, a Pygmy angel, and a Royal Gramma. This is a reef frag tank. live rock and some corals. I use this as the backup. If something isn't right, it gets move to this tank. And if it's not doing well here, I move it upstairs to the ....

75 reef. This is the one plumbed to the basement filter. In this system I have mostly soft corals, and an anenome. I have a pair of Pink Skunk Clowns, a Pair of Tomato Clowns, Royal Gramma and a Yellow Headed Jawfish.

I love my Jawfish. He's always moving the sand. I have not had to move the sand ot rake it yet. Algae never grows on it. If I had my way, I'd and will add a Pigmy Angel to every system. Mine have always done very well. I also like my Gramma's and the Black Cap. I often wonder if they are compatible. don't overspend if you like these though, I think I got them from Jeff's exotic pets dot com. I think I paid less than 14$ eash for any one of the three.

I'd do an order if anyone is interested. Last time they were out of angels.

I currently have about 15 tanks, all of them are in the 10-20 gallon range and have pairs of clownfish in them. I also have a few centropyge angels, these include a flame and several eibili/half black, eibili/lemonpeel, and half black/lemonpeel hybrids.

I also have a 125 that empty(dry) right now but I have plans to get it going in the next several months...have to finish my clownfish/angelfish breeding facilities first.

3 Sailfin Tangs *(3 years)
2 purple tangs *(had three years)
1 hippo tang *(5 years almost six)
1 orange line tang, not sure of the name. *(2+ years)
2 yellow watchman gobies. *(3 years)
2 true percs mated. *(3 years)
3 green chromis *(1 year)
1 marine beta *(6+ years about) Seen about twice a year.lol.
1 rhinopias(scorpion fish)(almost two years)
1 three stripe damsel(who cares)
1 home grown clarkii from an egg.(almost 3)
2 six line wrasse *(2-3 years)
1 copperband butterfly*(1 year)

* These are going into my big tank. The rest are going.

I am going to add one school of small fish also. Might be a school of royal grammas. Or anthias. I might top the system out at about 30 fish. But as you can see nothing exotic.

Do not ask for a list of corals. I couldn't begin to count them all.
 
Well I have 2 false percs and 5 blue chromis so far in the 46 bow. Anyone got any good ideas for somemore fish?
 
1 blue hippo
1 copperband butterfly
1 foxface
1 bangaii cardinal
1 sixline wrasse
1 purple striped Psuedochromis
 
Wow, you guys all have the damsels but don't want them. If anyone truely doesn't want them get a hold of me I love the damsels. The are always active and are a breath of color. right now I have 2 30 gallon tanks that have a total of 1 fish. And he is a yellow tail that I got from Joe when they moved. So if ya'll want em gone let me know. Also looking for any crabs that anyone may want to get rid of. Loe watching them scuttle all over everything.
 
Staceyfb,

I have 2 large Three Stripe damsels, You'll only need 2 for a tank. Cuz those will be the last 2 fish you'll every be able to put in there. Come get em.


good news is that their reef safe.

How large is large? I don't want to drop em in to a tank that is to small for em. Are they aggressive(the last 2 you will need)? Sounds like they might be a god candidate for the fuge. I will take a look at my calendar and see when I can make it up there. If they will be happy in a 30 I will gladly take them. I have FWLRO in the 30's now. Waiting on the reef till I get the custom 85 set up.

Take your middle finger,tip to your thumb tip, make a circle, their that big.

And yes, their very, very agressive, their in a 300 now. I don't think thier comming out without a fight.

Not that I'm opposed to a fight. I'm about to get a couple blue's with yellow tails from Sidd, so I wanna see what my blue do.


Jason
 
I only have one fish. A fuscus or blueline trigger.
Jason, I'm sure he would like to meet your damsels. He always wants to kiss me through the glass when I put my finger up to it. With his teeth.
 
I have a Clown trigger like that.... The puffer used to do it to, Except I don't think kisses were on his mind, I think those worm like things on my hands were.

The trigger is affraid or these... I don't know... If staceyfb Passes, come get Em.

We still have the 72 and a 24 nano. Just been keeping my eye out for that "right deal" if you know what I mean. I do not want to get back into this with another huge tank. No bigger than a 180.
