Wow fish for a 65 gallon?

[cdemoss01]

It’s a risk, but they are just too beautiful to pass on imo. I’ve had one every tank with no issues.

I could go for it definitely.. what about anthias's what do y'all know about those?

Mine doesnt nip at the corals. Although my Banana wrasse did. I make sure they are full. I have a pistol shrimp I haven't seen since I put him in the tank so I'm not sure.

Thank you. I like leapord wrasse but I don't think I can do another wrasse WITH a tang AND a marble wrasse which is evil..

Now I had a copperband butterfly, gorgeous. Couldn't get her to eat at all. She would look for food all day in the rocks. I put supplemtal foods in and even hand fed her at one point but to no avail. She passed away in a week.

Reef safe? Will they eat coral banded shrimp?

She would not be still. Sorry about the glass. It's where my HOB skimmer sits and I can't clean behind it.

In a 4 foot tank you most likely have a leopard wrasse, depending on the rockwork. Plenty of swimming space. Same with the Foxy and CBB. I had a bristletooth tang for a while as well before it disappeared unexpectedly.

I have a marineland 65 gallon that is 4 ft long. Current stocking is a marble wrasse, one clownfish and one Royal gramma. I want to add one more clownfish a white tail bristle tooth and some sort of a wow fish. What do you guys recommend?

Probably get that clownfish sooner rather than later and try for one smaller than your current clown but be prepared for aggression just in case.

Not sure you're tank is ready for Anthias yet. They can be pricey and finicky.

I'm prepared for that, I want a designer clown

Man sorry for your loss

Me too, I was devastated. Tyvm!

What size is your tank? Aren't they hard to feed?a

My pair is in an 84x30x25" tank. They can be challenging to get eating. I have a method but it requires a separate tank with live rock where I'll spend a couple of months getting them ready for the DT. I won't add them to a DT until they are eating out of the water column. Mine compete for food with 8 tangs and do very well.

This is them feeding with 8 tangs and a handful of other fish.

You could get some anthias. you probably don’t have enough room for a trio, but one or two small types like sunburst or barlett would be fine. Just know that they aren’t the easiest to take care of and require multiple feedings per day.

My show fish. CB marine betta. He’s out all the time and will take frozen food from tongs.

I've always thought of getting one. But I think the reccomended tank size is cruelty. Huge fish for small tank... What size is your tank?

 

[Kasrift]

Unsure. Flame angels nip at certain corals and dwarf angels have caused me issues in the past.

True statements, but you could buy Biota tank bred ones to lessen the chances. If they are little and don't grow up eating corals, they might not make that association like you would with a wild caught flame angel. At least I'm making that assumption when for the future when I buy a regal angelfish, I'm going to get it from biota.

They don't swim much... at all. Yes, they're huge, but they don't need much space to swim at all.

Oh wow. Id figure they'd be active but this is new information. Are they like royal grammas?
