Frag tank.. Adding a fish OK?

[Telefonica007]

I have a 40 breeder with no substrate or live rock..... Just crate and coral. Would it be OK to add a small fish? Just curious . I wouldn't mind seeing a little friend roaming while I'm in the room.

Yeah. Got to get the right fish but shouldn't have any problems.

What's a common fish, barracuda? Lol. Jk. Would 1 or 2 chromis work?

You want several fish to feed the corals or they will starve.

I have a clown, lawnmower blenny and a small yellow tang in my 40b frag tank. :)

We have a mckoskers wrasse in ours. Just put a few small rocks in to sleep in at night. Was getting picked on, in our other tanks.

Typical frag tank fish would be a 6-line wrasse or a mystery wrasse......great pickers.

My lfs has a blue throat trigger in theirs that's awesome. The owner puts his h and in and the fish lets him pick it up. Craziest thing ever.

+1 on the 6 line. A four line would also be a good picker of pests and a little prettier IMO.

Ive seen alot of people put tomeni tangs in their frag tanks to help with the algae buildup you get on the crate.

I added a clown and green chromis 4 now. Thinking about a bicolor blenny next. Thnx guys

I'm with him on the mystery wrasse!! Mine is a beast!! He eats any type of little things moving around. Also melanurus wrasses are great

Kohl tangs are great cleaners also if I recall . they spend the whole day picking up stuff.

algae eaters like tang or lawnmower blenny and wrasse for pest

Pseudocheilinus and Halichoeres wrasse are good choices
