70g Stocking Ideas? Tang? Eel?

In China I have never seen the Blue Reef Chromis from the Caribbean. Nor have I seen the Fusilier and Corazon Damsels. We get mostly the common Blue-Green Chromis and sometimes the black and white ones.

For damsels it’s mainly the very aggressive Domino, 3-Stripe, 4-Stripe, for Chrysiptera usually just the most common Azure, Yellowtail, Blue Devil, sometimes Talbot’s too. For Pomacentrus we get Lemon Damsels and the Neon varieties including the Andaman. Personally I’m a fan of damsels except the ones that get really big / really aggressive. Many Chrysiptera and Pomacentrus can look really nice.

What do you keep in your tank? Do you keep pairs of damsels or 1 of each kind?

I have a spriger’s, great pest control, never had any flatworms, had a yellow tail a lonnggg time ago. Great fish, model citizens

Glad it’s working out for you. How long have you had the Springer’s and how long did you have the Yellowtail? How big were they when you got them?

 

[Leo_ian]

I’ve had the spriger’s for a year now, had the yellow tail for a year before he/she/they jumped

seriously best fish for a reef tank

 

[Leo_ian]

Oops I just remembered it was an azure not a yellow tail, =o=

Keep in mind that when that eel gets up to some size, any smaller fish in the tank are going to end up on its menu !

 

[Zionas]

Yeah sorry to hear that, they’re not usually the kind of fish we’d expect to jump.

Never expected it either :)

Ahhh ok do you use a mesh top now? If so what kind?

 

[Leo_ian]

I use a homemade mesh top, my dad refuses to let me change it to a nice looking one

 

[Zionas]

Eh as long as it can keep the fish in!
