These is also a 120x50x50 80 gallon for 200$, 150x55x55 120 gallon for 525$, 180x60x60 170 gallon for 790$, 200x65x65 225 for 985$ and a 250x80x60 315 gallon for 810$. I was planning on getting the 48 gallon because I wont need to much new equipment but the 80 gallon seems even more worth it for the price?
ok yes, octos are inverts but i meant swims around and stuff. also are there any different looking fish that are good?Not fish or invert? Then you are limited by taxonomy to hagfish as they are technically not inverts nor are they really fish but something in between. Of course you could consider things that evolved from fish not fish and that opens you up to sea snakes, turtles, cetaceans, penguins, and a few other species of marine birds and mammals.
Seriously though engineer gobies are fully reed safe but also impressive fish so that’s a great suggestion. Some snake eels are fish safe but none are safe with inverts. Cephalopods like octopi and cuttlefish are very effective hunters too. A brittle starfish is sadly the most octopi like thing that is reef safe. As for eels it is either as @Petcrazyson suggested with an engineer goby, a jawfish like the yellow headed, or if you really are open for a challenge then Garden eels.
The issue is Graden eels (and jawfish) need a lot of sand. Also garden eels need several feedings per day and often are very finicky and hard to get eating.
I still won’t make the joke………
Those are all wonderful fish additions and honestly I think you can get away with adding all of them as long as you see there is enough territory. The Yellow Coris you were thinking about were you actually thinking about the H. chrysus or the leuxocanthus? The tail spot blenny is a little risk with coral as they as they get older tend to start to nip drastically at Sps especially the polyps on Millies.
Ribbon gobies. Lantern/flashlight fish.
And how the heck is he going to find that fish?
A leopard wrasse shouldn't do any bullying. Getting a healthy eating one without a pinched stomach is 80% of the battle. Would do well in your tank most likely as long as you get a healthy one. Foxface are more like 80/20 or 90/10 reef safe. There are exceptions, but they're reef safe significantly more often than they're not reef safe, so it's all about how much risk you're willing to take on.
Unless you have a specialized low light 6' or longer tank, you really shouldn't get one, and if you do get one you should really get at least 3 or 4
You mean ribbon goby?
Yea I meant the Ribbon Goby lol.
Thank you for your response and questions. To start yes, the Yellow Coris Wrasse is the H. Chrysus. And so far I have no plans of getting any sps corals. If I do itll be the ORA easy stuff that doesn't have too high of a price tag. i.e bali green, garf bonsai, etc. I am trying to keep the tank as low maintenance as possible.
An 80 gallon would open up a ton of great fish for you! Like smaller fairy and halichoeres wrasse.
The scooter blenny would benefit from a big tank with a good pod population.
I was thinking in a tank that big two small blennies wouldn’t fight and I am going to have to correct myself, I am definitely not getting a blue spotted jawfish because they are 300$ compared to all my other fish that were less than 5$ including my YBPW. I would definitely get a shrimp goby pair or two and in the 80 gallon I would want to go for a pair of scooter blennies as they would have more than enough pods.
