ok so im my tank right now i have a:
1- 3 striped damsel
2- clowns
1- hippo tang
1- pajama cardinal
1- fire fish
would it be ok to add these couple of fish
1- yellow foxface
1- gobie
1-grouper
i am getting all these fish almost free. the lady down the street lost her husband and needs someone to do some yard work and she has known me for some years and knew i loved saltwater fish and she said i could take them if i could do the work for her. i told her i would do the work and i will find out about the fish. so i would really like to keep these if i can
thanks

thats very surprising, but i wouldnt chance losing just abut everything besides maybe the foxface and tang, i dont know how the goby is still alive, unless it hides all day long

there alot of live rock for it to hid under so maybe that is y, but i think i will try it if not i could always put it back in her tank, i guess or move it to my dads house with his lion fish that he got from me

i wouldnt even bother putting the grouper in your tank with all those small fish.
it will, sooner than later, gobble all of them up.
put it in your dads tank like you said or just dont take it

yea my dad is gonna take it he likes the way it looks i guess. most of his fish are big anyway. hes got a lion, tang, and some other big thing. so i hope it does good there

Yeah, there are lots of different kinds :) I ask because soe get incredibly big (2 or 3 or more feet)and/or aggressive as they get older and some stay smaller. If you post a pic on here I'm sure someone will be able to tell you what it is and what to expect :)
Also, you can go to the "fish" menu on swf.com (top left corner) and scroll down to "groupers" maybe they will have a pic of what you have
Hope that helps
