00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[Calmwaters]

What type of clowns do you want?

Ocellaris

 

[tbrown]

I have a Tang because I wanted one. I have a Foxface because I wanted one and have bubble algae.

 

[Katrina71]

Magnificent aren't cheap.

I'd love one, but in my heart, I think our tank will be too small.

My Starry Blenny and Lawnmower Blenny are better at algae eating than my Tomini honestly.

Ok so good bye Tomini hello Starry Blenny and Lawnmower Blenny.

 

[Reef Devils]

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

I think so

 

[Reef Devils]

Ocellaris

Those are the best.
And honestly really wouldn’t overthink this too much.
i had a list of fish that I wanted and some were chill somewhere aggressive, and it all worked out fine.
You just gotta let nature work its way and the fish will figure it out too

Very smart for a 15 year old.

I have all 3 in my 125. I don't recommend it.

Why not and would you do the two blennies?

 

[00W]

Clowns are hit and miss.
I've had 2 out of 6 live.
The 4 that didn't make it were killed by the two that did.
In a super large tank like yours, probably OK.
Percs are OK. Skunk Clowns are chill but you don't see them often.
My yellow tang has been a good fish not good at algae eating my coral beauty is better for sure but he's a jerk.
Just stay away from any red clown for sure.
The chillest and one of the coolest fish I ever had was a filefish.

 

[Reef Devils]

@Calmwaters i would really just go with what you like. Just keep in mind that angels can nip at corals. I don’t think I will ever get an angel again because of that.
Also damsel can be aggressive. My yellow tang is 4 times the size as one of the damsels and still gets nipped at, they are very territorial,

Maybe because they don’t do well in small groups. They seem to do best as a pair or maybe like 15 of them. I no expert on that but that’s what I have heard .

Thank you I forget sometimes that I can trade them in at my LFS if I get them and they don't work out.

 

[kevgib67]

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

My ocellaris are very chill.

 

[tbrown]

Why not and would you do the two blennies?

Two Blennies is a bad idea, a Tang and Blenny is hard enough to keep aggression down. They eat the same food. Different tangs can work sometimes.

Somehow I knew you would say that.

 

[00W]

My ocellaris are very chill.

Mine is fine with everything but other clowns and my hand.

Ah that makes sense so I will go with one or the other not both.
