Future fish list

You may want to look into getting the mandarin onto frozen foods. Mine loves mysis and Rod's food. It's made my life much easier than worrying about if I have enough pods.

Bruce Wayne has to get a batfish obviously.

Frank, we all know that fish budget goes out the window the first time you eye a pair of Hawaiian flame wrasses in person!

LOL......ain't that the truth. It's all relative. Flames are cheap compared to some of the other big hitters out there.

I like the mandarin, but I've had him, they hide a lot...anyone know where I can get a pair of mandarin dragonettes? I plan on stocking the tank w pods...will that work even if I decide to get a few wrasses too?

Mandarins and wrasses will compete for food so it's not a good idea for this size tank even if you are planning on adding pods on a regular basis. Some of the smaller fairy wrasses are nice and not as aggressive. Helfrichi's firefish is really colorful. Or as stun said, get a nice Centropyge that's not as common.

I guess it would be better to have a few wrasses instead of one mandarin, what about a scooter blenny? they aren't so dead set on pods...they happily eat mysis? what if I got a scooter with a few wrasses? again, thanks a lot...

yes...my amonia is around .25, have not tested for nitrite because I tested my nitrates first and they are around 50 ppm...

And I run carbon in a 2LF reactor...
