What fish HAS to be in your tank no matter what?

[rusty hannon]

Defiantly a green Mandarin goby, eating .

Has to be a Clownfish pair and a Tomini Tang for me.

 

[PghReef]

Clownfish pair, dwarf angel, and a wrasse for pest control

 

[Eagle_Steve]

1st. Seaweed Blenny (lots of them. One just isn’t enough lol)

2nd. Half Black Mimic Tang. Algae eating machine

3rd. Yellow Coris Wrasse. Always moving and all over the tank.

 

[Spieg]

Six Line Wrasse and a Tomini Tang. Best pest and algae control team for most tanks.

My dreamfish! Looks like they’re crazy

I love my Fairy Basslet. Beautiful and spunky!

My dreamfish! Looks like they’re crazy

Mine is an amazing fish, she never hides, she believes she’s in charge and she love playing hide and go seek. I hide she always finds me. Great personality. Love this fish

I'm surprised there's no wrasse love yet.

Some kind of wrasse. I love them.

I have to agree! Both of mine died due to some mystery infection but some day when it’s all resolved I want more. They’re cool fish.
I like tangs but they’re bullies. @Daniel@R2R it’s too hard to pick just 1!

Clowns. Wife wants a pair of black stormtroopers.
Leapord wrasse

 

[Doglips56]

Chromis

I love these too but would love them more if they didn’t kill each other

 

[Chessmanmark]

All of them. They’re family now.

Gotta say a hawkfish. My falco is always curious whenever I am doing something on the ledge my tank sits on. He will like come up to the glass and watch me and follow me whenever i am moving around the tank. Such a great personality!

 

[jlanger]

I always say that it's not a reef tank without an angelfish but since 1995, I have always had a Kole Tang.

 

[Squeaky McMurdo]

A Clownfish pair and a coral beauty will always be in my tanks. And I found I just couldn’t live without a Foxface in my big tank. There was a big ol’ hole where my guy Spike used to be and I nearly quit before I got Foxy to fill it.

 

[Chrille26]

A yellow Coris Wrasse, they are super colorful, constanty hunting the rockwork for critters and super fun to watch swim around doing silly stuff.

 

[Tamberav]

To all the clowns lovers, what sort, and why?

I have a pair of Clarkiis, and they're big bullies. They do always come out, which is nice. But that's the only nice thing. I then I got the clownfish from IT.

My royal Gramma is my favorite. She's probably just as mean, but to small to harass anyone.

Picasso pair, they were kind of mean in my 20g but not so much in the 80g (guess they wanted more space) even though they are spawning regularly. They just push the nosey wrasses a few inches away from their eggs. No biting just literally a nose shove, kind of cute really.

Picasso clownfish pair

Sand burying wrasse of some sort

and a Copperband butterfly (best personality of any fish I have had)

Blennies and gobies. So much attitude in a little package!
