I need help with deciding what fish to get

[yellowtang1324]

So I have a 5in Maroon Clown, 3 inch Royal Gramma, and 3 Inch Damsel. I have had MANY fish and they usually die because my existing fish never seem to get along with them. When I first started the hobby, I got the fish listed above plus more because I got a tank that came with the fish. Anyway the rest of the fish I got with them have died pretty much of old age. They all got along, but once I started buying separate fish, they have never lasted. These fish that I have are HELLA hardy. I think these fish are around the 6-10 year old range. TO SUMM IT UP, I just want a list of fish that will get along with my territorial fish. REEF SAFE please. I have a 125 gallon tank. Been in the hobby for 5 years. Super healthy tank.

When you get new fish, how do you go about adding them to the new tank? Do you do it with the lights off? Have you considered an acclimation box?

I usually float the bag in the water, then when the temp is about the same, I drip the tank water into the bag for 2-3 hours. Then I allow the fish to leave the bag whenever they want.

if you are adding more fish im pretty sure that marron clown has his territory already in place his going to be pinking at anything new I would try to rearrange some of the live rocks and then add your new fish get some tangs , some blue chromes , anthies. moving your rocks will confuse your fish and will have to re establish there area hope this helps
