Dead Eel... what's next?

[vetteguy53081]

Hey! Yeah, I think they are all doing well. With Foxface soon to be placed into a larger tank, if it lasts till then I wouldn't want to restart because this was my first tank and my father would like to take over this tank keeping the maroon and damselfish if they make it as well. I think the others are doing fine. Also, do you have anything on Blackfoot Lionfish? Thanks again @vetteguy53081!

predatory, can get an easy 11" and needs multiple feedings of meaty foods.

Hey! Thank you for your support. I appreciate this! I read a book saying eels are ok in a 30 gal. Snowflakes, of course. Not green morays!

eels get about 30" and need to strech out atleast a 4 ft tank

My eel was under 1 ft and the tank is very deep, but the length is 3 1/2 feet long.

What is the care level? It kind of looks like a fu Manchu and fuzzy dwarf at the same time. Also, would it take Emarald Entree, Clams or Large Krill?

fuzzy and Fu are dwarfs and would eat krill and possibly chopped clams. Other foods are squid, mussel, silversides, jumbo mysis and scallops

What about Blackfoot? Some websites say they are dwarf, but what dop you think? and what is the diet and care level for Blackfoot?

This is a non-dwarf and very venomous scorpion member. Will eat the same. Most lions are easy but require space, can easily sting fish and susceptible to ich.

My tank is filled with live rock, and has 3 fish in there. Do you think it would harm any of them? Probably a difficult level? What lionfish do you reccomend?

When it comes to lions, they will eat any fish that they can fit in there mouths. I often say. . any fish that can fit in another fish's mouth sooner or later will

Thanks! 2 more questions!
1. What do you know about Gray head wrasse?
2. What fish do you recommend I get? I have a foxface (temporarily), maroon clownfish, and damsel in 45 gals.
Also, last night I performed a 2/9 water change. Not ready for fish for at least a week. Today, the fish so far seem to be doing good.

UPDATE: Last night, I performed a 1/5 water change out of my 45 gal. I also performed a sand sift.
Today, all fish SEEM to be doing fine! Green Polyp Coral hasn't popped out yet.

Monitor water for a couple of weeks.
Some fish to consider:
Tomini tang
Pyramid butterfly
dwarf angel - coral beauty or flame angel


Clown and damsels can be territorial and evil and will need to be watched

Will do. Clownfish seems to get along with foxface and damsel.
Damsel is very tiny to do damage. However, clownfish is very aggressive when rubbing in anenome.
I don't think i've seen a Tomini Tang. Heard it for sure. Do you have a picture of one? Or Pyramid butterfly? Also, are you sure it would fit in 45 gal? Thanks again vette!

pyramid

Tomini

 

[Should I]

i don't suggest them fish at all for a 45 gallon get a bigger tank if you want bigger fish

the pyramid butterfly requires a 125 gallon
the tomini requires a 70 gallon

 

[JohnnyReef13]

@Should I what fish do you reccomend?
@BristleWormHater I need help
@vetteguy53081 uhhh

[Should I]

a cherub angelfish for your "show fish" if you want a show fish take the foxface back to the LFS

if you wanted a predator go the route of a waspfish or a frogfish (angler) or if you could find 1 the golden dwarf moray gonna be pricey for this though and if you went the moray i would put that money into getting a bigger tank as you seem to want bigger fish

 

[JohnnyReef13]

@BristleWormHater can you get in on this? I want your opinion
@Should I What is the diet of frogfish and waspfish? What is the best colorful one
