Hello R2R,
Don't know if this is the right place to ask for stocking advice but I figured it was worth a shot.
I'm starting my first reef tank and I have posted previously about my plan so you can take a look at the equipment there.
My experience with aquariums come from planted aquariums so I was naturally drawn to macro algae in the display, mixed in with some lps and soft coral.
I saw some cool tanks on some build forums that had a similar approach and I decided it was right for me.
My problem has been determining a viable stocking plan that has some unique fish that fit with the whole lagoon theme.
I like a couple a fish especially but I'm not sure if they would work or not.
They are:
Midas Blenny
Bicolor Blenny
Various Jawfish
longnose hawkfish
tailspot blenny
Marine betta (had to put it on the list because I love the fish but I know it probably won't be happy in a 29 but let me know if I'm wrong)
dilectis dottyback (worried about aggression)
Splendid dottyback ("")
sleeper goldhead goby
banggai cardinalfish
I'm really only looking to stock 2-3 fish and no more. The real beauty will be in the other organisms of the tank. But if any of you guys could come up with some viable stocks involving some of the above fish it would be much appreciated.
I apologize for the broad nature of my question, but I hope to get pointed in a good direction for future research.
Thanks in advance!
