Oops sorry meant a Pygmy angel
http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+2730+455&pcatid=455
Getting ready to launch my first tank. I am more interested in corals (softies and zoas) but I would love a few beautiful fish. Can someone recommend a livestock list for me for a Innovative Marine 40 gallon. Low maintenance, entertaining for 3 young kids.
I like the Flame Angel. I like the black and white or the Wyoming White clowns.
Also, a schedule of when I should add them would be great.
How hard is it to raise clowns? Is it possible for a newb like me?
That'll put three bright colors in your tank, right from the get-go! If you get the clowns a juveniles (one larger than the other, by preference) they should pair up - which may cause trouble down the line, should they decide those eggs they just laid need protecting. (And yes - a black&white and Wyoming white will pair up just fine, as they're both the same species.) Some fish you could think about adding before the above might be a goby/shrimp pair to live down on the sandbed, one or a small group of zebra dartfish, who will occupy the space just below the surface, or a firefish who will flick his fins mid-water. Both clowns and angels can be feisty with newcomers (though my clowns haven't been a problem - then again, they're still young) so I'd think about adding the angel close to last, but if the clownfish are on the smaller side, they can go in early on. A flasher wrasse or one of the smaller fairy wrasses could also work.
Do keep in mind that although flame angels are among the more reef-safe angelfish, they're not 100%, especially around LPS corals.

I would be wary of adding a pygmy angel to a tank with another Centropyge. Definitely utilize a social acclimation box for introduction.I have a yellow tang and a flame they're getting along fine but thinking about adding a Pygmy angel as well all three are very young
Add the tang last.Starting to think about stocking list for a new build coming up. Tank is 66g, 32x24x20 and planning for mixed reef, but sps dominant. Would like input on some prelim stocking ideas and order of introduction especially.
1x Kole Tang
1x Potter's Angel
1x Wyoming White clownfish (maybe 2x?)
1x Midas blenny
? Anthias (suggestions on which flavor to go with and # welcome)
Flasher/Fairy wrasses (yet to be determined)
I'd love to have Leopard wrasses again but am thus far planning a bare bottom tank so they are out for now. Unless I decide to add some sand.
Ok, go.
Those are all compatible.I'm pretty new to wrasse, I've only kept the one that I currently own and love which is an Anampses Lineatus (White Spotted Wrasse). It's their compatibility that I don't know a lot of information about, and as I've purchased a new tank (120g) there's definitely a couple on my radar that I'm wanting to keep:
Ruby-Head Wrasse
Canary Wrasse
and the White Spotted Wrasse that I'll be taking over to the new tank.
Any problems??
Thanks!!
Add the tang last.
You can always keep a container of sand behind the rockwork for a leopard to sleep in.
Dispars and randalls are easier, peaceful anthias.
Any of the flashers except octotaenia would work. In a 66g I would stick with smaller fairy species such as lubbocki or the lunatus complex.
No, any order will be fine.Any specific order for the rest besides tang last?
I don't see too much of an issue. The coral beauty will be borderline too big, but doable.Hello,
I have a 40 gal tank. Here is a list of fish I was thinking about getting(not all at once but over time):
a pair Ocellaris Clownfish
a pair of royal gramma
Coral Beauty Angelfish
Green Mandarin Dragonet(after my fuge is going well and pods are good for it to live)
2 Emerald Crab
6 Scarlet Reef Hermit Crabs
6 Dwarf Blue Leg Hermit Crabs
1 Emerald Crab(maybe 2 depending on rock space)
2 Astraea Turbo Snails
Some possibilities include a group of dartfish, a pr of flame or longnose hawks, a group of Chrysiptera damsels, royal gramma or blackcap basslet.Hey Folks! So I have an interesting one. I am doing a 45 Gallon Shallow Reef Build ( 48" x 18" 12" ). And I will start the plumbing and the cycling process soon. While it is cycling I want to get my stocking ideas together so I can start a QT as well. So once its done cycling and parameters are correct I will add my livestock. Now I'd like the reefing communities help in deciding my stock list. I want to keep it relatively light and don't want to "rent a fish" only to have it outgrow my setup and have to trade it back ( I get attached to my finned friends ). I've toyed around with an all invert tank but I do love some swimmers too. Once its done ( planning a 2" sand bed so I know there won't be a ton of "swimming area" so I was leaning towards a rare goby or blenny ect. designer clown? I know there is a lot of "grey area" in-between 30 Gallon and 55 Gallon. It will be a mixed reef so reef safe only. Thanks!
