Herbivorous fish

[Azzaman160]

Hi all, I have an existing nano tank and we are upgrading to a larger tank, im following the Red Sea starter kit reef mature, to get it up and running and im getting toward the stage of needing to add a herbivorous fish. The levels are all looking good, ammonia is 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5ppm. Its a 41 gallon tank so still not huge so im thinking a Blenny of some description, has anyone got any other suggestions or had experience following the red sea system??

Thanks in Advance,

Aaron

Your best bet would be a blenny of the genus Salarius (lawnmowers are well known) or Ecsenius (bicolors are also highly recommended). You can also use mollies as well.

I have a starry and a tailspot. For worker the starry gets the nod, for entertainer, the tailspot. Either is a good choice, the tailspot gets 1/2 as big.
