What kind of fish do you keep???

[salt newbie01]

Well I thought since we were a reef club the question about the coral should be first, but I'm also interested in what fish you keep.

My 75 is pretty bare right now - pretty large gold stripe maroon and a little one. And a lonely green chromis - that's it! I hope to get a purple tang sometime soon.

My 58 is...I guess you wouls say goby dominated - red head, green banded, wheelers watchman, yellow neon and a royal gramma

So what's everyone else keeping???

 

[ironman]

puffers and triggers, and a few goldfish, they keep disapearing though? any ideas?

 

[ironman]

ok pat, ill be serious, i know your pulling your hair out!
Ive got A pair of ocellaris clowns Ive had for 5 years, a skunk clown Ive had for 5 years, a powder blue tang, a tailspot blenny, sailfin blenny, six line wrasse, male and female ventralis anthias, 2 green chromis, chalk basslet, neon goby, a younger pair of ocellaris clowns, and probly more im forgetting

 

[salt newbie01]

Thanks man! For anyone who hasn't seen his anthias - the ventralis must be the most beautiful of the anthias species - They really are amazing!

How's your powder blue doing? I hope well. It's been a couple weeks now hasn't it?

 

[ironman]

A month, doing great, eats like a pig, and seems healthy

There are a lot of very nice fairy wrasses you can look into.

Good to see ya around Dave!! I forgot you have a frid. pseudo. What kind of a tank mate is he?? I want one but have heard horror stories about their aggression. If I add it will be the last one to go in the tank. I just decide whether to go in 58 with gobies or the 75 with the large maroon clown and soon to be purple tang. What has your experiance been??

[ToMatorClown]

1 Tomato Clown
2 Green chromis, maybe 3. I'm not sure if one died or not, but possitive on the 2.

Patrick I thought you had a Flame Angel?

 

[salt newbie01]

I did!:mad: past tense!! He was doing well eating, nipping at the rocks and then just died. He only lived a month or so. I couldn't see anything on his body - no damage - it was very frustrating since I had always wanted on. I am debating on another on but I haven't decided yet.

Great lists everyone...

 

[Bifferwine]

Okay, I'm not part of your club. But I know you all, so I'll post anyways. Right now in my 240:

2 pajama cardinals
5 green chromis
1 blue damsel
1 yellow tailed damsel
2 tomato clowns
1 yellow tang
1 yellow eye kole tang
1 lawnmower blenny
1 sixline wrasse
1 coral beauty angel
2 scissortail dartfish

Plus, I am getting a new fish or two today. Haven't decided what yet, I'll have to see what they have in stock.

 

[Bifferwine]

Okay, to my list, add a purple tile fish and a sailfin tang, both bought today. And my (probably) last fish I will add, which I ordered today, kinda risky, but worth it if I can pull it off -- a pink tail trigger.
