Good decision. Most likely one of the chromodoris group which are gorgeous but will not last.

More than a purchase this is a merged and I wanted to check my options. I'm combining 2 large tanks into a 300g DD and I have a few dilemmas:
- I have a yellow tang and a hippo tang in each tang, this means I would have 2 of each in a 300g, possible? or should I come up with another solution? - I also have 2 pairs of clowns, one on each tank. One pair of ocellaris and one pair of clarkii. Both pairs are constantly laying eggs; I know breeding pairs are very territorial, specially the clarkii. Would a 300g give enough room in the tank for the two pairs to have their own "territory"? Thanks |

Are you saying maybe the 2 yellows and one hippo? or just the 2 yellows at the same time (and I guess that's still a maybe)?
Thanks |

Steve,
I've been patiently waiting for a small harem of Threadfin/Carberryi Anthias (Nemanthias carberryi) for my 6' 125g tank (you previously gave that the nod). I haven't been able to get them, and today a LFS has plenty of Bartlett's Anthias (Pseudanthias bartlettorum). Both anthia species are supposed to leave ornamental crustaceans, like my Sexy Shrimp, alone, and I still only have the Bicolor Blenny, small Yellowtail Damsel (who can go back to the LFS if he gets too naughty), and the Randall's Watchman with the pistol shrimp. So I won't waste space reprinting my full list. My tank has fairly bright LEDs and is 19" from the surface of the water to the substrate, as I plan on adding coral in the next few months. My question is, are the Bartlett's a "deeper" species than the Threadfin that may be annoyed or stressed by the lights? A follow-up is, are the Bartlett's a good fish to have, or are the Threadfin superior enough that I should continue waiting? Thank you in advance, George |

Can you house a single anthias in a 60 gallon tank?

that depends on species (one of the smaller ones) and other tank inhabitants

My father and I have already checked our proposed stock list with you, however we have our eye on a fish there that is labelled as a red grubfish. It has been at the store several weeks, and is about 2 inches long. We have done some research online, and it seems to be Parapercis schauinslandii, AKA redspotted sand perch. It has been difficult to find very much reliable information online about this fish, and we are wondering if you know anything about Parapercis schauinslandii, and if it will cause any issues in our stocking list. Thanks, Turner |

Yeah, I bought a CBB about 6-7 months ago when I had my 55gallon up and running and it didnt last long. I would blame it more on not having a quarantine tank and I had a damsel at the time that probably killed it.
I do have a quarantine tank set up(10 gallon) and running. I haven't heard the greatest success stories with CBB, I've heard some fish stores only give them about a 20% chance of survival. I figure Ill scope out the local fish store and try and find an eating one, any other suggestions? |

I'm setting up a predator tank and i would like to know if a 6" marine betta, a 5" panther grouper and a 6" Emperor Red Snapper can live together peacefully. Also if i can add any more fish, can i add a 5-6" french or queen angel?

I am interested in getting another mandarin though. I know my tank would be smallish for two mandarins but I consistently see large populations of pods on the glass. I was also thinking about making around ~15 pod piles in the sump(using gutter grate and LR rubble). How long should I wait with my current mandarin before I go ahead with this? I may start culturing copepods in the future, but I don't want to have to rely on this. If I get the new mandarin to eat frozen food, would my tank setting be sufficient along with the pod pile. |

Thanks for the advice snorvich. I will wait a minimum of 4 months before I consider getting another. I want to ensure that the one I have can stay well off and have consistent food. Itll probably have to wait until I start breeding copepods and get some sort of automation up and running.

Hey there. Planning my new tank. 180 gallon, standard 72x24x24. Will have a 75 gallon sump. Refugium for pod production and hold additional live rock. Nice big skimmer. Probably 100-125lbs live rock in the display. Here's what I'd like.
1 tang as my show fish. Achilles is my favorite, or maybe powder blue or white cheek. Just 1 of these 3, not all. 1 yellow tang. Potters angel Flame angel Royal gramma Pair of clowns, not sure which. Ocellaris maybe? Black & white? Maybe Picasso? 5 anthias? Maybe. Carberryi or dispar? Watchman goby / pistol shrimp Cleaner wrasse Flasher wrasse maybe. Green mandarin like a year or so down the line. This list sound possible? Thank you for the help. |
