Fish Stock

[SourAngelfish]

I plan on renovating my tank this weekend!
I currently have a 14g cube with

Geometric Anthias
Blue-green Chromis
Blue-Gudgeon Dartfish

Do you thing the addition of a Green Filefish would be wise? I’ve always found them interesting... Are they reed safe? The other fish do fine together, the Chromis is pretty old, and I don’t know if he will last much longer . Thank you for your help!

You’re maxed out on fish IMO but the file fish is a 50/50 with coral

What happened with the Mandarin?

A filefish in a tank that small with corals, doesn't sound like a good idea to me. If your Green Chromis passes on and you are down to 2 fish, I would recommend looking into a Pink Streaked Wrasse. Very interesting fish.

What happened with the Mandarin?

Gave him back to LFS, he slowly stopped eating.

I haven’t had to many problems with a bioload of four fish. The tank has been up for Three years, and It’s been able to hold anything I’ve put in it.

I previously had a tailspot and a Mandarin, Mandarin was returned and the Tailspot was eaten by the anemone

Blue Gudgeon is new

Chromis has a tumor, he’s been around as long as the tank has

I really want a Mandarin but with my tank being brand new I know it’s going to be almost impossible to get one to eat
