Hello! I would appreciate your feedback on fish stocking options for my well established (3yr old) 100L reef.
Current inhabitants:
Fathead/Sunburst anthias (Serranocirrhitus latus)
Royal gramma (Gramma loreto)
For consideration (I definitely won’t get them all)
Purple Fire fish (Nemateleotris decora)
Green Clown goby (Gobiodon atrangulatus)
Yellow clown goby (Gobiodon okinawae)
pair of Kaudern’s/Bengali Cardinals (Pterapogon kauderni)
Fang blenny (Meiacanthus atrodorsalis)
Tailspot blenny (Ecsenius stigmatura)
Black Ray shrimp goby (Stonogobiops nematodes) with Alpheus randalli pistol shrimp.
Let me know what fish or combinations of fish you’d recommend or how many total I should consider as an upper limit.
I realize I may catch some flack for the Fathead. For those not familiar with them, they are not in the Pseudanthias family, they often do not form shoals, and they spend time perching like a hawkish. It’s been my favorite fish since the late 1990’s when I read an article by Scott Michael. I kept one for 7 years before moving him to a friend’s tank. This individual is 2+ years, started in another’s tank. The recommended tank size for this fish has grown over the years and I admit that 100L is a lower bound and could rightfully be criticized. I don’t mind at all if you have experience with this fish and want to provide your feedback.
Thanks!
