I have a 90 gallon reef that has been set up for about 3 years. I have the following fish in it currently:
When I added the wrasses, I did use an acclimation box. But after several days/weeks - the Melanurus would not stop picking on them - so I had to take them out.
The Orchard Dottyback was just too timid for the tank and would hide all the time.
I would like to add 2 more fish, but really concerned with what I could add? Do I have to add some more aggressive fish (i.e. Purple dottyback, Yellow tail damsel, etc)?
I've considered a longnose Hawkfish as well - but I do have shrimp in the tank (cleaner, peppermint).
If I added those 2 fish (Damsel/Dottyback), would they end up being too aggressive for the tank? What are some other options that I can consider?
Do you think I could add the hawkfish, or would it eat the shrimp in the tank?
- 2 Picasso Clowns
- Midas Blenny
- Kole Yellow Eye Tang
- 3 Pajama Cardinal fish
- Melanurus Wrasse
