Stocking list:
2x Multicolor lubbocks fairy wrasse (Pair?)
1x Yellowfin fairy wrasse Cirrhilabrus flavidorsalis
1x Blue flahsher wrasse Paracheilinus cyaneus (Being sold online as Carpenter's)
2x Yellow banded possum wrassse Wetmorella nigropinnata (1x MIA but I suspect will appear soon)
1x Dragonface pipefish Corythoichthys haematopterus (Aprox 8cm and is absolutely adorable)
4x Spotted garden eel Heteroconger hassi (Two smaller and two slightly larger but all small)
1x Bluestripe pipefish Doryrhamphus excisus
2x Yellow clown goby Gobiodon okinawae (Not sure if this guys will make it, I have never had any success with them)
1x Mandarin dragonet Synchiropus splendidus (Bullies both other dragonets)
1x Spotted mandarin dragonet Synchiropus picturatus
1x Starry dragonet Synchiropus stellatus (Very small and is also a male so its colors are dull and is hard to spot amongst the rock of the smae color)
1x Lawnmower blenny Salarias fasciatus (Absolutely obese
)
2x Firefish Nemateleotris magnifica
3x Sexy shrimp Thor amboinensis (I am planing on getting 12 or so more)
0x Pom pom crab Lybia tessellata (Planning on getting around 8-10 of these guys)
1x Skunk cleaner shrimp Lysmata amboinensis
1x Whitespot anemone shrimp Periclimenes brevicarpalis
Assorted clean up crew
I have titled this build thread as "1epauletteshark's exotic dream aquarium" there a few fish that you generally wouldn't see together in one tank like the dragonface pipefish, the garden eels and the three dragonets which make this aquarium really stand out and look very special.
This is a supper exiting project for me and I'll make sure to take photos and keep everyone updated on future inhabitants. Let me know if you have any questions, or ideas in terms of stocking etc.
