Hi guys im thinking of adding another fish to my Reefer 170 tank (43g). My current livestock:
2 Clowfish
1 YWG
1 male Banggai cardinal
1 firefish
1 orchid dottyback
Im actually quite happy with my current stocking but ive been struggling to get good foam formation or skimmate of my skimmer. Sometimes it foams but most of the time it just bubbles. Probably i dont have enough bioload.
they live in harmony and the aggresion i see is from my orchid dottyback who sometimes chases my firefish but only when it’s feeding time. My firefish backs away but it doesn’t really get spooked or hide. Other than the feeding time, they just ignore each other.
if i were to get another fish, which fish should i get and won’t be aggresive to my current fish or won’t get bullied by them?
I always wanted a mandarin but i’ll probably wait like a year until i can get a good pod population going. (thinking of getting an algae reactor).
Or do you guys have any other suggestions?
Thanks!
