There's something fishy about this build...

They don't eat live. They eat from tongs

And the dragon doesn't try to steal the food on the tongs?

Nope
They are all cowards

Nope

That's interesting. My leopard and even the pencil wrasse have figured out the game with me feeding the CBB in the corner and they are coming right up to the pipette. I have to shoo them away.

Maybe the ribbon can eat from tongs without problems, too?

Yeah but my arm is in there too. Also I have found the bigger the bully the more cowardly they are

At a minimum, it will need training.

I’ve got clamydia!!
Whoops
Autocorrect
I've got a clam!!

Also @Goaway i want one and I have so many feeder fish. But also my wrasse would definitely outcompete

Wrasse are too big really. Unless they are like fire goby fish (nemateleotris magnifica).

Anything bigger than that is very intemidating.

Just like with all fish, once comfortable with captivity. They adapt to all feeding methods. While some would rather get a chunk of your hand with their food.

We give so much of ourselves to our kids.

That's a completely different clam!

In actuality it is a darker blue then it appears in both photos. Both unedited, second through orange filter

As for the ribbon eel.
Very small rhandels. Shes never went near him. The larger one had perished, i assume may have been from collection method.

The one in the photo is slightly larger than a fire goby. Body wise not length.

I mean I could maybe put it in this tank. The smallest fish is.
Wait I have a tiny female mandarin

 

[Goaway]

If i knew my tank had enough pods, i'd get a mandarin. I am not sure how ribbon eels tank to their excessive slime coat. As that and their colors tells predators to back off.

 

[Slocke]

Next smallest is my tailess Royal Gramma

I bought a tank. It's gonna have fish and water and stuff.
In all some seriousness, this tank is to replace my original tank, which was used, jerry-rigged together, and terrible. I hope to do better with this one.

The tank:
It's a ProStar 150 Peninsula. 48x24x24 110-gallon with a 30-gallon sump (as we all know, 110+30=150). It came with no instruction manual save a single image so hopefully it is that easy to put together otherwise I'm screwed as those who know me know what a useless plumber I am. For lights, I am starting with an AI Blade Grow and Glow. The plan is to get two more Blades, probably a Freshwater (to get red and more white lights) and another Grow. For flow, I am using Jebao because it is cheap.

Those photos make me wish I had a LFS to shop in! Look at all that product on the wall ! WOW. I need to move....

I just never had an issue with adding tank mates. If I add mollies. She hunts them down and eats them. I don't have to flush them to her.

But, if you are worried. You can always enjoy seeing them at the pet store. Gramma depending on its age is probably bigger than my current randall. He's under 2 inches. and was just a guppy when I bought him.

Uh oh fishies

 

[Goaway]

We added some foating fake plants and babies are everywhere now!

 

[Slocke]

Did the opposite because they were overbreeding and running out of oxygen. Also many were fed ti the wrasse
