compatability

I recently started up a Fluval Evo 13.5g nano tank with my partner. One of the fishes she really wants is a blue damselfish. She seems to like the Starcki damsel the most, but I am a bit wary because even though they are supposedly more peaceful than most damsels, I have heard they tend to get...

Hi, new member, first post, but have been reading R2R for years. I finally took the plunge and started my 1st marine tank. It is a Nuvo 40, I will be running a Kessil a360x, 2x maxspect xf330's, ghost mid size skimmer, carbon, floss, and gfo in rack. Approx. 20lbs. life rock, 2" Bimini pink...

Has anyone kept a Cherub Angelfish with a Spotbreast (Blackspot) Angelfish (Genicanthus melanospilos)? I have a Cherub Angelfish already in my 100g cube. I was wondering if I could add a Spotbreast Angelfish to the tank with low likelihood of trouble (I just saw one at an LFS for a good...

Hi all, wondering if I can put 4-5 species of Anthiases together, all as individuals. I know this isn't normal practice, but wondering if they will get along. So something like 1 Bartlett, 1 Lyretail, 1 Dispar, 1 Bimaculatus, and 1 Resplendent. I guess I'm asking if anyone has tried this or...

I have a 75 gal mixed reef that has been running for about 6 years, I bought it and brought it home 1.5 years ago. I have a large longnose hawk that I absolutely love, and I just bought the contents of a tank from someone who had to move. That tank included a med sized falco hawk, among other...

Hello! I have a biocube 29 with 2 clowns, 1 green chromis and a firefish. Firefish was added just over a month ago and has his cave well established. He is doing great. Eating and coming out from time to time. I would like to add a blenny. From what I have read I feel the tailspot would...

I have a RSR 250 (55 gallons ID) and I'm looking at options for new fish. Would a Midas blenny work with yellow assessor, yellow watchman goby and neon blue goby? I've read that they're peaceful but may bother gobies. I also worry about my other yellow fish looking too much like a conspecific...

Has anyone had any luck keeping a butterfly fish in a reef tank. My LFS said I could depending on the type of corals I keep. I picked up a lattice butterfly. I have a just a few corals some GSP, hammer coral, zoanthids, and galxea. I normally work 12 hour shift and usually only feed once per...

Hello! I have a 90 gallon DT and I would love to get some wrasse. I will be adding coral in the future so I would prefer if they are coral safe, but I really wanted to get Melanurus wrasse. However, I promised the GF she could pick a wrasse for the tank. Are Melanurus wrasse compatible with...

hey everyone is looking for a few last suggestions for cool fish in my 50 cube. So far I have 3 fire fish, Banggai cardinal, melanurus wrasse, sand sifting goby, and a stary blenny. All fish are fat and healthy. I’m looking for a few more fish to complete my stocking list. I know I can get...

What do you think the chances are of having a Swiss guard basslet and a candy basslet in a 90 gallon reef tank? I have a pair of yellow assesors with the Swiss guard without any problems. But the candy and the Swiss guard have similar shapes and colors/patterns. Larry
