Hey all, I practically haven’t added anything to my tank in 6 months. I really need to get more fish to boost my nutrient levels for coral health and color. It’s a 90 gallon with 110 gallons actual water volume. My fish load is very low with 4 bar gobies, a yt damsel, two smaller clownfish and one large perc clown. I really love bar gobies and I’d like to add more- as many as possible, up to a dozen. A couple months ago 3 of the 4 got huge, they seemed to pair off and the smallest two moved to the other side of the tank. They don’t fight but they flash their fins often and swim beneath each other in some dominance/mating ritual. Would these gobies accept new bar gobies? What about other species of dartfish like firefish, blue gudgeon, scissor tails etc? Any fish will go through tank transfer quarantine and I could keep them in a seperate tank for months to beef them up if needed.
I’m also looking for suggestions on a peaceful but bold wrasse to serve as a preventative coral pest control measure. I have a large banded coral shrimp but may swap for a cleaner shrimp. I have some margaritas snails and 3 big healthy turbo snails. I also have a ton of baby trochus snails. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if the wrasse picks them off but i’d prefer not. Are there any wrasses that tend to eat pests but not small snails?
