00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[Katrina71]

Clowns, tailspot, firefish, watchmen are chill. Mandarin and red dragonets are chill, but very difficult to keep fed until the tank is very mature.

Valentini puffer may eat coral. Damsels are usually not nice. Dottybacks are not nice.

Springeri are usually good but I'd stay away from the Yellowtail.

Clowns are always problematic. To do over never would have bought one.
Damsels are mean.
Dottybacks are mean.
Sailfin will get too big.
Queen angel is a lovely, lovely fish with a great personality but eats everything once it eats and grows large. Would be good in your tank as the only fish, limited to no coral.
Yellow tang is fine.
Cardinals are boring but chill.
Mandarin maybe long way down the road but are sketchy eaters.
Don't know anything about anything else but if you are going to get wrasses make sure you have a lid.

I removed the Queen Angel, the Sailfin. What is wrong with Clownfish? And Mandarin would be the very last fish I would add if I decide to get one.

My Springeris are model citizens, my Tomini is a jerk.

Which Halichoeres wrasse(s)?

Clowns can be jerks, I have 3 that are fine.

I think clownfish are great. Mine are super chill and swim up to the surface to see me. I can put my hand in the water and they rub against it. Super cute.
Not sure why @00W doesn't like them.
Mandarin needs a mature tank with lots of copopods

It's the type of clown. Regular oc are like cocker spaniels. Kinda

I'm pretty set on wanting clowns so hopefully I will end up getting nice ones and not jerks.

That’s a good way to describe it

I’m sure they will be fine. They might be jerks because they are part of the damsel family,

Maybe I should look up suitable tank mates for clowns?

What type of clowns do you want?

 

[Katrina71]

Ocellaris clownfish https://g.co/kgs/nW8LLMR

 

[Katrina71]

Imo tangs and foxface are not beginner fish

Leucoxanthus, Chrysus, Garnoti are cool but there's lots of options out there depending on budget.

 

[Katrina71]

I think a yellow tang might be ok as a community fish? Maybe

I had them because they are supposed to be good at eating algea.

Magnificent aren't cheap.
