I'll check them outA pinks streaked wrasse will be GREAT in that tank
I would be wary of anything that eats pods with a Mandarin in a 44 g tank. I love my pink streaked wrasse and it’s very peaceful but it has made a noticeable difference in the pods I see in my tank. A planktavore is I think a better option.
I'd say good depending what species of clowns, larger growing aggressive like Maroon might be a problem.Current stock:
2 juvenile clowns
1 diamond goby large
1 small mandarin dragonet
1 very small lawnmower blenny
Looking to add 1 last fish, a splendid dottyback.
Would I be okay?
Good call canceling the splendid, I think you would have regretted putting one in. They are quite a bellicose fish!
I’m thinking I’m way overloaded with life in my tank if ur worried about 5 fish in a 44 gallon tank. I have a 65gal tank with a 30gal sump and I have 10 fish and 12 seahorses plus a very large CUC. Honestly I haven’t had any problems really, everything seems happy n healthy so all good I guess, but what do I know I’m a reef virginCurrent stock:

Idk why I thought you could only have 1 fish per 10 gallons. Apparently it's one inch of fish per gallon. I get different info all the time. Figured it couldn't hurt to just ask lol.I’m thinking I’m way overloaded with life in my tank if ur worried about 5 fish in a 44 gallon tank.

I also have a dottyback in the mix with all this and have never had a problem if anything I feel he is very docile and shy Spends most of his time hiding in the rockIdk why I thought you could only have 1 fish per 10 gallons.

The only one who acts like a jerk is the blue devil Denzel which is properly namedI also have a dottyback in the mix with all this and have never had a problem if anything I feel he is very docile and shy Spends most of his time hiding in the rock
Thanks I got it from BRS, it's a floating frag rock.I right now I have 24 fish and 4 shrimp in my 90gal DT that has a 20 gal display fuge. My bangai is pregnant again and will spit out dozen or so babies in a couple of weeks so that number will go up by 50% but hardly affect my fish inches. All of my fish are relatively small so the load is about 20 fish inches right now, but I have 5 more 5 line cardinalfish and a small butterfly in my QT that I caught a couple of weeks ago that will go in the DT in a couple of weeks. If Nitrates spike I will start dosing NoPoX, if Phosphates jump, I will dose Lanthanum till it settles out and increase my water change schedule. I'm headed to the Keys at the end of the month, so I expect some serious loading after that. I think the key to loading a tank is doing it slowly, but sometimes opportunity knocks. I have also found that plenty of coral helps with your nitrates which is part of the reason for the display fuge (and a place for my baby bangai's).
One of my fish is a Royal Gramma, and it is pretty docile. When I first put it in, it sparred with my black blenny a few times and eventually gave up (the blenny always won from what I could tell). He found a nice spot under a chalice coral to hang out and everything is tranquil now. From looking at your tank, I would probably go for a small wrasse (the digging type). I have an ornate wrasse that is really cool and keeps my sand bed turned over, or a jawfish that will also keep your sand bed mixed. You might think about some inverts like a boxer shrimp or a cleaner shrimp to add some diversity. I really like your floating rock
Yeah everything in my tank is peaceful so i dont want to risk it.I think it is important to note that aggressive or semi-aggressive fish added last can help, but at the end of the day it is still an aggressive fish. It was a good choice.
It is cool. I was thinking about making one with a real rock and magnets, but I had what it thought was a sealed magnet glued to the back of my algae scrubber to hold it in place and it corroded massive amounts of Tin that killed a lot of my corals (birds nests, torch, hammer, candy canes, etc.) so I may what for a better idea to come along. I should have done the ICP when the first coral died (my advice).Thanks I got it from BRS, it's a floating frag rock.
I wound up getting a wrasse, colors were gorgeous and its eating prepared foods no problem.
Its disappointing but I literally wanted a salt tank to have the mandarin so its definitely worth finding good tank mates.
