What fish would be perfect

[Nano_Man]

Hi everyone after a bit of information
I have a 50g tank with 6 BTA and 2 domino damsels but the tank looks empty so what fish would you recommend that doesn’t eat BTA and show the dominos who’s boss any thoughts welcome

Your challenge will be the dominos' who by now have become territorial. Many fish qualify such as gobies, basslets, cardinals as examples

No as they would get stung and not a part of their diet. Butterflies would eat nems

What about Clowns?

Maroon clowns would be good with the domino aggression. Love my maroons! Also a dwarf angel would be good too!

I second this. Maroon Clowns are really mean SOB's! I once had one I ended up returning to the LFS after a couple of months, because he kept attacking me. The last straw was when the little ******* actually DREW BLOOD!!! :eek:

My maroons are sweet! I had a picasso clown that bit me all the time and she jumped out of the water bit my forehead once. Now that was a mean clown! My maroons dont try to bite me at all!

Thanks I am a bit attached to the dominos but they definitely need another crazy fish to show them they will take no nonsense

Berracuda?

LOL that would do it, those even eat lions!!!

I think so but requires a tank size minimum of 15g. Seriously, a sixline wrasse would probably work, Ive had one in most of the 18 years I’ve had an aquarium. I never seen one picked on.

A lionfish? Me neither, this was a video of one getting eaten by a diver that I saw! Barracuda came out of nowhere and just ate that lionfish!! Big lionfish too

Maybe just go for

The issue is going to be adding any new fish.....whether it is capable of defending itself or not. The new Maroon will still get bullied coming in new to an established tank full of killers lol. Maybe put the two damsels in the sump for a couple of weeks while the new fish becomes a little more established and then reintroduce?

Valentini and blue spot is a nice combo. The ones I had ate zoanthids so if adding zoas to the nems in the future toby’s may not the best idea.
