Why the flame hawk?Damsels, sohal tang , clown tang and flame hawk
I was wondering about this too, my striped blenny is super personable and lets me pet him and everything lol.Chromis because of urenoma. Not worth the risk to me.
I probably also wouldn't keep powder type tangs due to aggression and disease prone.
Plenty of things not appropriate for my tank but they are not hard no's if I had the set up for them.
Also surprised to see people calling blennies boring as they are generally regarded as one of the most personable fish. You could call them drab... But boring? Eh.
Why dont you eat it? I do that with the fish I dont likeThe evil neon dottyback, can't wait until mine dies.
Why the flame hawk? I assume the sohal and clown tangs due to aggression...Damsels, sohal tang , clown tang and flame hawk
Flame is a very greedy feeder and will fight with anthias. Most of all, flame will eat any and all shrimp in the tank.Why the flame hawk? I assume the sohal and clown tangs due to aggression...
Totally agree to the feeding and the shrimp. I don't have any anthias...Flame is a very greedy feeder and will fight with anthias. Most of all, flame will eat any and all shrimp in the tank.
Agreed. Best personality ever, was always swimming out in the open and very curious but soooo aggressive! Bit the head off my skunk shrimp and harlequin shrimp and bullied my rhomboid to the point that it it wedged itself into the rockwork and died. I'd get one again, but only in a species/grow out tank.A Mystery Wrasse; one of the best personalities of a fish, but murdered every one of my crabs and shrimp in my reef.
Lion fish, why get an agressive large fish in a FOWLR when instead you can get something awesome like a MorayFor whatever reason, there are fish that just make us say nope. Aggression, fragility, bad luck, just plain ugly, etc...A great big ole pile of nope.
What is your "nope fish" and why?
Mine are the eared eel blenny or wolf eel and the yellow damselfish.
The wolf eel was one of my first predatory fish. From the start, the fish just gave me the creeps. Vicious and ugly, with a face that looks like an old thug mobster... lazy until times called for violence... that one specimen put me off and I have never desired to keep another one.
The Yellow Damsel I picked up as a kid, while i was learning about the hobby, was the first fish introduced to my 75 gallon aquarium. Alone, it was personable and interactive...always seemed to greet me when i came into my room. And then i decided to add more fish. I had always loved huma huma triggers and my mother picked up a small one. In the tank it went and the yellow damsel did what damsels do...bullied the equal sized trigger constantly. Woke up the morning after introducing the fish only to find it finless and near death...the yellow damsel making harassing passes at the little thing while it attempted to hide behind the heater. I caught out the little trigger and put it in my Q tank but it was too far gone. I tried then to find something that could hold its own and possibly eat the yellow monster...a lionfish came to mind. I got one that was definitely large enough to eat the damsel...but like david and goliath, the smaller fighter felled the giant...this time before it was beaten to death, i pulled the lionfish out and held it in my Q tank until i could convert a 45 tall that i had for the lion. I tried an eel, an undulated trigger, a grouper...all repelled and beaten by the 2 inch long yellow tyrant. Ultimately i had to break down the tank and catch the critter out before i could add anything else. I swore never again.
Cheers!
