Title says it all.

I love when I see fish in reef aquariums which are in pairs or groups. Although we confine them to a tiny box, I believe fish that peacefully coexist in pairs or groups together are a "happier".

So lemme see 'em.

Clowns, Wrasses, Gobies, Angels, Eels, whatever you got, I'd love to see pics of some of reef central's 'Pairs' 'Harems" or 'Groups'.

I tried getting some pics on here but got timed out twice. Anyway I will try again tomorrow. I had a beautiful pair of French Angels. I grew them to dinner plate size before donating them to the NJ state aquarium. I havent been there in a while, but was informed that they successfully spawned there. Also had a pair of Queen Angels that I waited for over a year to get. When the guy I dealt with finaly got them for me they were not in good shape. They werent bagged to well in shipping and were very under nurished. I took them with the understanding that they may not pull through. I figured I had a better shot of getting them well in my tank then the LFS I got them from. Well after getting them in the Q-tank I could see that they were consumed by flukes. I gave them FW dips, Formulin dips, treated with copper to no avail. These fish had flukes all over them and inside as well. Finaly a secondary bacterial infection killed them. That was a real blow to have another opritunity to have yet another pair of large angels and they just crashed. The bacterial infection went very fast, once I could see the cottony patches on the bodies they were doomed. They lasted 3 days from the first sighn of infection. I had them for a month total. Anyway, The guy I got them from did make good on the fish and he was surprised I was able to keep them as long as I did. I do consider myself very lucky to have been able to keep the French's as a pair in captivity. What a sight they were!

Very nice pics of pairs! It's difficult enough to shoot one moving fish, let alone two! Unfortunately, my mated pair of Mandarinfish only got in close proximity at dusk, making it very difficult to get any pics of them together. Mustang, great Angelfish- they are beauties!

I have the same feeling as Project Reef. I try to keep breeding units if I can. Don't have any picture , but the following pair or trio I have in my tank:
Banggai Cardinals breeding pair
Trio Ocellaris clowns breeding
Royral Gramma (5 in the breeding group)
Mandarin Dragonette breeding pair
Yellow Cown gobies breeding pairYellow tail damsel breediing trio
Orchid Dottyback pair breeding soon
Marine Betta breeding pair
Pink Skunk Breeding pair
Cleaner shrimp breeding pair
Cherub Angel breeding pair

like minh, i much prefer my fish to be in pairs. i feel they settle in nicer, and adapt to captivity bettre when they are kept in pairs.

anyway, pics to follow when possible, but for now, only a listing.

i have the following fish in my 180g aquarium. note these are my only fish in the tank.

2 yellow clown gobies
2 green clown gobies
2 red head gobies
2 tiger striped gobies
6 masked gobies
2 red firefish

i do have plans to add more fish, but they will all be in pairs.

Pair of Golden Sleepers, not established long (not even a week). These are simultaneous hermaphrodites? What, I guess, I'm asking is if it matters or not the sex of the fish when purchased, as one will be male, and one will be female?

not sure. never cared enough for this fish to research it :o

What, I guess, I'm asking is if it matters or not the sex of the fish when purchased, as one will be male, and one will be female?

if they are simultaneous herms, then no. simulataneous is not the same as bi-directional. bi-directional can go either way, e.g. from male back to female. IOW, if you get 2 males, you are SOL.

Here's a picture of my pair of C. lineatus. The male seems to have much more yellow/orange/red in the base body coloration, but over all pretty similar:

01/12/2003, 09:38 AM
nice picture Steve thanks for posting. I would have thought that they were both males due to the coloration yet I have no experience and no other info describing what a female looked like. Does he flash to the female often? Do they stay together? As for gobies I have the Randalls goby in a 20g w/o pistol. Yet in a 29g I have a lone Randalls goby with pistol. I have no way to post a picture so I alone can enjoy them.

01/15/2003, 11:06 PM
Louis,

I had thought of that possibility as well, but have not seen the agression that I have experinced previously with male wrasses of different species. The two are generally together accept at night when there is a little chasing, but no agressive contact. They sleep in different places. There has been some flashing by the male, but mostly in agression to a large female Gold Bar Maroon Clown and I was surprised to see that he would take her on. The clown has since been removed (I've actually been trying to remover her for quite some time) and the flashing has decreased dramaticly. The few people I have talked to say that the males and females of C. lineatus are quite similar. The female definately has less intense background coloration in the body, but the fin coloration is rather similar. The tail fin of the female is mostly yellow/orange while the males is red. Anyhow, I'm not really sure if this is the coloration of a female or of a subordinate male, but they do seem to get along pretty well together. I have "Fairy & Rainbow Wrasses and Their Relatives" coming this week so hopefully there will be some useful information in there.

Thanks for taking the time to post that, Bomber. Great looking pair of Butterflyfish. I logged seeing one or two of these when snorkling. Chaetodon sedentarius appears to be a good candidate for Aiptasia removal. Did you find this to be true? Any spawning indications ever made by these two fish?

Bomber
01/18/2003, 03:40 PM
You know something, they do eat aips along with all the other usual b'fly stuff.

These two haven't made any indication of spawning, there's actually a group of them now (I keep adding more, they're easy). I believe Forrest and Moe spawned them back in the 80's, if you're interested I can check with Forrest and see.

Here's (http://rockyshores.saltyzoo.com/rockyshores/images/New%20Batch/crop0012.jpg) a picture of the female and her best friend.

Those were sold to me as Sharknose Gobies (Gobiosoma evelynae) but some websites call them Gobiosoma randalli. I don't know which website is correct.

Louis,

I just got "Fairy & Rainbow Wrasses and their relatives" by Rudie H. Kuiter and my pair seems to match up pretty well with the male and female photographed in the book. BTW, anyone interested in wrasses should really check this book out. There are some astounding photos in there.

Louis,

I think I caught a glimpse of the mating ritual last night. Unfortunately I was about 10 feet away from the tank and engaged in a conversation so I didn't get to see the initiation. What I did see was the male do a full circle (maybe a circle and a half) around the female with his fins fully extended. I couldn't tell if the females fins were extended because of the angle she was at in relation to where I was standing. The female then kind of did a smaller circle with the male and the broke apart. I did not see any of the vertical movement that I have heard Fairy wrasses do during mating, which I guess is a good thing since my tank is only 2' deep. I think this all happened about an hour or so before the lights were to go off. Anyhow, was rather interesting and I hope to be able to observe this again when I am in closer proximity to the tank.

-Steve

Wow! That is awesome simonh! How long was your first hawk in for? I'd love to have a pair like that! Unfortunately, I already have a Flame, and Checkerboard (Longnose). And those two squable a teeny bit, but nothing much.

FWIW, my Sleepers are so far doing good. One started taking food offerings a week or two ago. I think if the other one starts eating offerings, and nothing catastrophic ocurrs, they'll be all set. :)

01/27/2003, 06:44 PM
I've had my eldest hawkfish for over 4 years (although it moved tank to a bigger home last summer). After reading Henry's article in ReefKeeping on hawkfish and reading a few more fish books I decided to give it a go on pairing up. I do have quite a few fairly large heads of Acropora (12" or so) and they both seem to take well to hanging out in those without feeling threatened by anyone in the tank. I haven't seen any fighting between them since adding the other yesterday.

I also have pairs of the following fish - common clowns, neon cleaner gobies (spawning), spotted mandarin (spawning I beleive) and also groups of - green chromis (spawning) and anthias. Unfortunatley, I need to get some better pictures of those that I can post.

Ozadars/saltlick,

My tank is a 8.5 year old 5ft-er and contains around 190lb of LR. They eat pods, pods and more pods :D I also supplement their diet with enriched brine (omega-3 or spirulina), bits of mysis, krill etc, soaked in Zoe and Zoecon for good measure. I offer this food to them twice a day via a pipette. Once the pipette is spotted in the tank they home in on it like missiles.

Here's a pic that I just took of them at teatime :D

Add a few, 3-5, Royal Gramma, or Orchid Dotty backs. These two species are extreemly colorful and very peaceful. I have them in my tank (90g and now 450g)

Was searching for other info and stumbled onto this thread... it's old, but I thought there might be some folks who had not seen it who would like to - I know I enjoyed it!

Marie, you have quite the foresight!

I'll see about posting my pics of my maroon pair, but I'm more interested in another issue: has anyone paired orchid dottybacks? If you have some (and the time), please either pm or respond here about how you went about getting them to accept one another, and your breeding status. I'm really interested in starting my own little family!

Are all of those pairs mated or just a male and a female together?

All the pictures of pairs that I previously posted are mated pairs, all of which are showing pre-spawning behavior (if not spawning already). I suppose I should add soon a picture of the cinnamons my wife just paired up from the LFS.

AlgeaMan: Love that pair of triggers!:inlove:

WOW! awesome! how did you pair them up? just buy two and cross your fingers?lol
I've heard that they pair up easy...but??
They are my favorite fish!! My french "Sven"is almost a year old now and has quadruppled in size.
What other fish do you have them in with?

Chicki,

I don't have them anymore, I donated them to the NJ state aquarium a few years ago. I actually got them as a pair from a collector in Fl. They were just under the legal size to take pairs. I'm not sure about the legality of collecting fish down in Fl. but from what I gathered if the fish were about an inch larger they would have been illegal to take. Anyway, they got to about dinner plate size in probably 2-3 years. They were in a 180 with no other fish. They were incredible to watch, they were always together swimming side by side. I doubt I will ever be able to have another pair like that again.

I currently have a pretty large French, I have often thought about trying another one but I recently added a Sailfin Tang and the French chases it around quite a bit (maybe it thinks it looks like it) so I have decided against getting another one. Plus my tank is 4' deep with a lot of rocks, if there was a problem with the two, it would be extremely difficult to catch one of them.
