fish for azoox cube

[owlbassboy]

ok im planning a 300mm cube for azoox corals but are there any fish that would be good in the setup? i want something a little different but nothing high priced. was thinking bluestripe pipefish. i know this is technically in the wrong section but really wanted the advice of you guys on this:beer:

You can't keep pipefish or seahorses with anything that stings, so, you wont be able to have sun corals, dendros, ect. I wanted to keep pipefish and seahorses before and did a lot of research about them. So, I know a bit about them. :)

Find something interesting...due to the size of the tank...pick up one awesome fish...that would stand out in the tank.

Where did you hear this? I've never heard of dendros or sun corals being an issue. Euphyllia is however.

[owlbassboy]

bahhhhh now you have me confused lol so will pipefish be ok?

On threads/forums. You cant keep sea horses or pipefish with anything that stings.

Many forums would disagree with this. There is a difference in the potency of the various stings.

[owlbassboy]

still confused here, can you send me a link to a thread where someone if keeping pipefish in a set up with a load of suns

IMO, avoid any fish that will steal food from your corals... I don't know how those candy basslets are but I had a chalk basslet that was a true food thief. He even stopped taking food from the water column because it was so much easier to just steal food from the corals.
