fish additions

Honestly when I started my hobby with saltwater fish I just guessed the whole way through it. My tank was only 13 gallons, and it was a whole entire ecosystem. I had to only do water changes once a month and it was thriving. Now, I'm basically starting over, i kind of messed up in a sense. I...

So I introduced a leopard wrasse into my 90 gal tank a week ago. I have a blue hippo tang and flame fin Tomini tang already in the tank already and they seem to bully the leopard wrasse. Will this stop eventually? I feed 2 times a day and probably over feed a little so I don’t think food is an...

I'm setting up a 125g Corals + Larger Fish tank and i'm looking for some unique additions to add to the roster. During my research I ran into Zebrias fasciatus, which seems like a decent choice for a unique fish to add into that type of system. I have a few guesses on behavior (Fairly predatory...

Hey everyone I’m due to add another fish (or 2) to the tank but I’m really struggling. I have a fire fish which is extremely peaceful so was put off clowns as I don’t want them to bother him and a lot of people have said clowns will turn aggressive as they mature. I also really like the...

I know this is going to get the police sirens sounding but worth a shot. I’m in the process of picking out fish for my Waterbox 50.3 and I would absolutely love a tang as the centerpiece fish. I know I’m extremely extremely limited and would have to likely go out and get a juvenile and trade it...

I'm setting up a new and bigger tank for a school of blue-green chromis. I've watched the recent BRS chromis tank build, but that is a huge tank and I'm not prepared to get a big grouper to balance out the chromis school. I do need a slightly aggressive tank mate though to encourage the...
