The above was what I have as a wish list. I was just wondering if that would work?? So I would need a bigger tank?? I was told by my lfs a Fu manchu lion would be fine in that tank. Is the eel also to big ???

110G w/ 40G Sump this is what I am considering;
3x Bangaii Cardinalfish Starry Blenny ORA Mandarin (hopefully in a year ) Splendid Dottyback Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse Clown Goby, Green Friend is dismantling her fish tank and has offered me a yellow tang and two azure damsels. Good start, some healthy fish for cheap. These three would be the first ones in. |

Planning a tank, want some fish compatibility advice.
26g reef tank - LPS, Soft Corals 1x Firefish 1x Ocellaris Clownfish +1 Pick from these: • Kaudern's Cardinal • Bicolor Dottyback • Six Line Wrasse • Spotted Mandarin • Yellow-tail Damselfish • Green Clown Goby • Court Jester Goby • Prawn Goby (Yellow or Orange Stripe) I've heard iffy things about some of these species, particularly the dottyback and wrasse. I'll probably steer clear from those. I really like the cardinal though, if he's a good option.

75 gallon reef with a sump.
2 Percula Clown fish 1 Royal Gramma 1 Fire fish goby 1 blue stripe neon goby 1 Gunnelichthys Curiosus 1 Striped fang blenny Elacatinus multifasciatus Amblygobius rainfordi will these eat or pick on the following, Lettuce Nudibranch ,Elysia Crispata Im not sure how many I want Tiger Tail Cucumber, Baseodiscus sp. Im not sure how many I want sexy shrimp several Thor amboinensis my local fish store has a white tube anemone it is full grown and I cannot remember the name of it and it is about 2 or 3 inches the tips are red or pink. I don't think having a "real anemone" in this tank is a good idea? What would you recommend for my clowns, I have 216watt t5s . How many more gobies could I get away with ? Am I pushing my luck? |

72 gallon tank, 27x27x30(tall) with 25g sump.
35lbs of live rock in tank, 12lbs of rubble in sump. I run a skimmer. The tank is reasonably minimalist in terms of rock - there isn't much on the bottom of the tank, but it's built high. The rock has moved from my 5' to this smaller tank, but has been established rock for 4 years or so. I will be putting 40kg of sand in in the next few months. Current stocking: 2 x clowns 1 x hippo tang (looking for a new home for him as I had to downgrade my tank) 1 x royal dottyback 1 x LTA Want to purchase 1 or 2 x peppermint shrimp 1 or 2 x cleaner shrimp 1 x some sort of sand sifting goby - Sleeper Gold Head Goby possibly? 1 x midas blenny 1 x mandarin dragonet 5 x chromis I'm negotable on all of the fish - these were just the ones I was thinking of that would create a nice balance between bottom/mid/swimmers/schoolers. I'm very concerned about overstocking. I would wait at least another 6 months before adding a mandarin, even though the rock is established and the tank is crawling with pods, I want to allow the sand I put in to become populated with pods first. I am concerned that the mandarin and goby might compete for food or fight - is this something I should be concerned about? |

My dottyback is actually really laid back, I was worried about him but he's pretty quiet and docile. I've never seen him bug anyone which is really nice.
I thought sleeperhead gobies eat prepared food also? Somehow I thought that they were relatively easy to keep in tanks? The sandbed would only be for the mandarin and goby, and possibly for the LTA if he decides he's into it. Is there any other sort of fish that wouldn't be too agressive to create a bit more interest in the tank? Something that won't compete with the other fish directly and won't nip at corals? Thanks for your help |
