Rockflower nems with small fish

[FishRN]

I know that there is always a chance a small fish could get caught by a rockflower nem, but is there anyone that keeps lots of small gobies and dartfish with rockflowers.

While they would be receptive to a meal of a small fish, unlike bta and other nems, they don’t have the habit or strength of pulling and capturing fish and causing issues with hunting persay

That's comforting I'm in the process of setting up a 40 Breeder and I'd like to devote half the tank to a rock flower garden once everything settles in down the line. I was pretty much going to only put smaller sized gobies and firefish. Was worried it might not work out.

Yeah, I wouldn’t worry about RFAs hurting your small gobies.

awesome! And love your tank looks like a little Caribbean reef with the ricordas and neon gobies.
