something red

Robb1414 · Jan 26, 2019

So, with a 75 gallon FOWLR tank, I have a valentini puffer, two clowns, a bicolor angel, lawnmower benny, and a pearl butterfly. There are also four chromis (not sure I am keeping them, they are very "nippy" - lol). I want to add one or two more fish and call it day. I want something with a lot of red in it (and that will swim around the tank). Any thoughts? Also, what other addition do you think could work?

Looking for something(s) super calm and peaceful!

Thanks so much!!

I like the flame hawk! Any other suggestion of what I can add with him and the fish I already have - doesn't have to be red - lol!

Red slime works. Lol

Flame Hawk.... they are KAMIKAZES that will dart and put marks on the sides of any fish it doesn't like

Thumbs down.

Have you owned one? One of the most peaceful fish we've seen. Always perched on a rock and docile with tank mates. Do you have any fish suggestions to add? @ndrwater great suggestion and I second s flame hawk.

They can be aggressive/territorial. Not to mention they will post up on corals and can damage tissue if they have a favorite spot.

I've had two and was hoping their attitude would change but I guess they went rogue. Mine seemed to have issues with fish on the smaller side. Blennies, gobies, clowns, wrasses , etc... Eventually had to rehome them.
