Black and White Dedicated aquarium?

Reef_Clown · Oct 26, 2023

Has anyone ever designed an aquarium dedicated to black and white *only* fish? Been toying with the notion, but curious if anyone has known of one or tried it themselves…
Corals would bring the color to the tank.

Some fish options (not saying they all go together of course):

Black and white clowns,
Engineer goby,
Half black angel,
Panther grouper,
Zebra wrasse,
Various striped damsel fish,
Cloudy damsel,
Banded pipefish,
Dalmatian molly,
Harlequin bass,
Kaudern’s cardinal,
Lamarck’s angel,
Striped dottyback

(maybe - with a bit of yellow)
Bannerfish,
Butterfly,
Snowflake eel,
Striped blenny,
Jackknife,
Painted sweetlips

Black and white reef safe fish ideas

I want to stock my tank with predominantly black and white fish. So far I’ve decided on a group of Banggai, Convict Tang and a pair of Black ocellaris clownfish. I really love the contrasting colours of these fish and want the corals to stand out rather than the fish. Tanks going to be...

All Black slatwater fish?

Hey guys been looking for 1 more fish to fit in with the rest of my little guys. To bring more contrast in. Looking for something "peaceful - mildly territorial". Nothing that's going to eat coral, snails, and shrimp. And nothing that's going to be a big butthole bully later on. Something all...
