Banggai and Pajama

[ant.anestis]

Hello all!

I have a Reefer 250 and intend to have (if I can make it), a mainly SPS tank.

Currently, I have a problem of veeeeery low nutrients, and that's because I only have a pair of Ocellaris in there; and a juvenile one at that. Tomorrow, I will add my 3rd, 4th and probably, 5th fish. It's gonna be a Banggai Cardinal and 1or 2 Pajama Cardinals. What are your opinions? I am mainly concerned about the aggression between them and the available space later on. I don't know if the Pajamas are paired but as far as I know, there won't be a problem between them.
Later fish stock include a Gramma Loreto, a Mandarin Goby, a small shoal of Threadfin Cardinal and a Kole Tang.
TIA

I bought 5 PJs for my 75 when I first got it up and running and they're still alive 5 years later, great hardy fish. They don't all hang together, I was hoping for more of a school, but whatever. Right now they share the tank with a Kole Tang, Foxface, 2 clowns (paired). I did have a Mandarin Goby with them for years, but it has passed on. I'm not sure if a Kole tang might pick at SPS, it might.

I have pair of pajamas and they dont hang together much. FYI - cardinals are nocturnal and more active during lights out then daytime which is why some find them boring. Also Kole tang may not enjoy being in 34 gal tank and become aggressive, IMO Tomini tang is more docile but again would be concerned in a 34.

i have 3 Bengai and an old pajama (7 years) and they ignore each other.

How are your 3 Banggais doing? I thought they would normally pair up and bully the odd one out.

3 Benggais still going strong. Usually 2 in a pair and one loner, but Sometimes they even all hang together!

Thanks! I have a large single Banggai and I want to add a mated pair. Think I better rehome the single though. I assume you added all three together.
