As you well know all fish are individuals. My experience with one was not the most pleasant, but then again I didn't provide the poor guy with the best environment or tankmates either. I would house him with fish that are not easily bullied or intimidated. I had him for a few weeks in a 36...

Yeah, I think my Snowflake Occ might have done in my Scissortail Dartfish last year. He tried bullying my Melanurus Wrasse and my Diamond Watchman Goby but they had no problem putting him in check. My Wrasse got tired of it and actually bit the clownfish on the tail and shook him like a...

I see two problems here. API is great for freshwater but one of the most wildly variable for Marine Tanks. Second Canister filters are very problematic in saltwater tanks (nitrates can build up quickly, be a pain to clean, etc.). As for the ammonia, what did you transfer over for live rock...

...smaller particles for coral. Really all depends what your trying to feed. Myself in my big tank i have tangs, rabbit fish,royal gramma, diamond gobys, clown goby, clowns ,wrasse, scooter blennys, mandarin, dwarf Angel. So litterly i feed mysis,spirulina brine, hikari mega marine, daily...

After repeated issues with aggression from adding new fish in my tank, I have decided it's time to upgrade from my 36 gallon. I have attempted to add a Flame Angel, Fairy Wrasse, Captive Bred Occ Clown (not at the same time, I would try and remove one before adding another). I don't know for...

Thanks! Good info to know. I'm definitely getting the Hoeven

I don't know if it was the smartest move, but I do have a young female melanurus wrasse (aka Tail Spot or Hoeven's Wrasse) in my 36 gallon (not sure because she is going to more than double her current size and my tank is small). I have attempted to add 3 fish since May. A Flame Angel, A Solar...

Okay, I know that this may not be the best idea, but here is the situation. I currently have a 36 gallon bowfront tank. I currently have a good collection of hermit crabs, snails and the following: 1 Cleaner Shrimp 1 young female Melenarus Wrasse 1 Diamond Watchman Goby 1 Scissortail Dartfish...

That's about what I have I guess. I'll order some on my next paycheck. Thankfully the tank cleaned up well when I did a big water change last weekend. Will do a 25% tomorrow. The two pictures show what it was like and what it is like now. Thanks for the advice!!!

The Frozen. As mentioned the dry stuff creates more waste. I only keep pellets around as a backup. It is more expensive, but a little of it goes a very long way. My stock is pretty light (then again my tank is only 36 gallons). 1 young Melenurus Wrasse 1 Scissortail Dartfish 1 Purple...

Normally I would jump right into the fish, but given this is your first saltwater setup and the cycling process is where most of the headaches happen for saltwater newbies, we should clarify that your tank has properly cycled. You stated that everything tests right, are your Ammonia, Nitrate...

Ok sorry to bring this old forum back but I wanted to update what fish I'll be adding to the tank and to ask if a few fish will be okay to add. Fish: Fire fish (already have) Two clownfish 5 Banggai cardinalfish (is this enough to shoal or is there too many) 2 Yasha goby's (one male the other...

Believe me I get it. I have Purple Firefish that is beautiful but is the first one to duck and cover the moment it gets scared of it's own shadow and it might disappear for a few hours or hardly come out of it's cave for several days. The sad part is that he is by far the most standout color...

Good to know, although a 6 line would be more likely to be territorial in my 36. I think I will hold off for now though as I am going back and forth too much on what I want and I have had absolutely 0 luck removing my Diamond Watchman Goby and the Purple Firefish and I AM NOT going to start...

Hmm, after doing some more research I am not sure on the Yellow/Gold Head. Apparently it likes to grab sand and then dump it all over when sifting (instead of feeding mostly on the bottom like the Diamond Watchman). Anyways here is a list of alternatives I have come up with: The Court Jester...

Okay, I have been thinking about this for a couple of weeks now and wanted some input. Here is the current situation with my fish tank. I have a 36 gallon bowfront and have the following fish in my tank: 1 Diamond Watchman Goby 1 Scissortail Dartfish 1 Purple Firefish 1 Green Mandarin Fish...

I have a 40 gallon breeder with a diamond goby, lawnmower blenny, snails, brittle star, chocolate chip , 2 cleaner shrimp, 2 false clowns, and 6 various damsels. What other kind of fish can I put with them and about how many more can I safely add? Can I have more than one goby and one blenny...

Crap. So much for that. My "Peacekeeper" has suddenly turned tank bully, nipping and chasing just about everything in the tank. It's almost like it has a short circuit as sometimes it is just fine and leaves the fish alone and others it goes after them. Anyone know if a steady diet of reef...

Interesting. My LFS had an issue with the supplier. I tried to go through them since they have helped me out so much along the way, but ultimately it sounded like it was going to be iffy as to getting stuff through the supplier so I cancelled my order with them and so I went to the alternate...

Funny you should mention that. My 5 year old was observing the tank yesterday and he said my cleaner shrimp was going after a crab and my purple firefish got in the way of cleaner shrimp to help let the crab escape (or it just really wanted to be cleaned). Also yesterday, I shut off my...
