Would you rather have?!?

10 flashers :) and a pair of picasso clowns like yours ! (you just can't leave out the clowns) :xd:

:hammer:

I do enjoy all the movement in the tank, esp when the Vortech is on full blast (ReefCrest mode) and feeding time.

I currently have 5 BIG fish in my 240g.
And with out a doubt I would say smaller fish are better!!

My bigger fish have become territorial and when they 'dart away' from each other they have knocked corals down and even broke some coral branches off!! ( frustrating)
And the bio load has got to be more then what smaller fish can produce. (no proof just guessing)

I'm working on setting up another tank so I can remove a few of the trouble makers from my reef tank and put them in their own FOWLR tank.

someday, maybe I can set up a 600g tank that will house mostly big fishes. that'll be the day. :hammer:

good luck with the trouble makers. :wink:

3 Tangs or 10 flasher wrasses or 10 anthias ? say the tank is a 120g standard.

How about 1 tang and the 10 wrasses? Something like a Jewel?
Every tank I've every had has had a tang in it. Just don't see one without a tang.:)

yes, true.

I have my Yellow Tang. he gets the most attention from visitors. LoL. and then I get asked why there's no Dori?

yup, I would definately go with more fish rather than larger ones. variety, plus more fish gives you more to look at.

 

[ReeferDan]

its nice to see a bunch of little fish smiw in schools, but its also fun to watch some of the personalitys in bigger fish and how they swim.

 

[Captain Nemo]

Persoanlly I like a bunch of little fish. they add more color, and I think that since they are smaller, they would poop less. Just my .02

 

[fsu1dolfan]

I definitely prefer more fish but if i had a larger tank i probably would want a few larger fish and maybe a few small one too...right now my options are limited.

 

[Tabasco1]

Want my cake and eat it! One or 2 big fish and then lots of little! :) BUT if I HAD to choose one or the other... hmmm I guess I would choose lots of little.

def more smaller fish, i like a school of little fish moving around as a group with the colors and movement. (green chromis, anthias) are going to me the majority of my fish in my tank with wrasse or other colorful fish too
