Re: Chromis problem discussion

Chromis are gone, LFS got them. Replaced them with a pygmy cherub and a purple firefish, seems to be working out so far.

Chromis problem discussion

I've added 2 Percs to my 130l Orca TL550, but the 2 Chromis I have in there are being right bullies to them. If they're still at it when I get home tonight, they're going to the LFS.

I'm stuck deciding what to replace them with - I've currently got 2 x Chromis, 2 x Percs and a Mandarin in the tank ...

Re: stocking a 35-gallon aquarium

Hi OceanicApe, welcome to the community. When you mentioned a clown wrasse, I'm assuming you're referring to a Coris gaimard. If that's the case, I have to advise that your tank might be too small, as they can grow up to 15 inches.

Considering your tank size is 35 gallons, it's generally ...

Re: My 94 litre river reef setup


I've got a river reef 94 litre tank, and I'm looking to stock it up over time. Thing is, I'm not too familiar with all the fish options out there, so I'd love some guidance.

I've got a few faves - Percula clowns, red fluxeonets, starry blenny, royal gramma, firtideflow, coflake beauty, regal ...

Re: My 94 litre river reef setup

2 Percula clowns are fine, no issues there. The Red Fluxeonet, though - I'm assuming that's a Red Scooter Dragonet? If so, just a heads up, you'll need plenty of pods in your tank, and make sure you get a fat one. Royal Gramma's are no problem, but with the Starry Blenny, just keep an eye on the ...

Re: calling the salty side

Southwest Marine isn't too far from you in Somerset, I've seen frog fish there in the past, they're a helpful bunch and I'm sure they'll be able to get what you need.

Re: aggressive cleaner shrimp behavior towards sulphur goby

To be honest, seems a bit odd to me, could be a rogue cleaner shrimp, I mean they can be a bit much for some fish, like coflakes, but mine's always been fine with my fish. Not sure what to suggest, other than giving it a week to see if the shrimp loses interest, if not, might be worth catching it ...

Re: stocking a 30 gallon aquarium

Blennies are a great choice, I think they'd be a good addition to my tank anyway.

Re: keeping coral beauty fish: experiences and advice

Should be alright, dwarf angels are generally safe with flakes. I was a bit wary myself, didn't wanna risk adding one that'd start chomping on my blasto, so I opted for a Genicanthus bellus instead, they're one of the safest reef angels.

Re: Identifying these coral specimens

Appears to be some sort of crustacean, possibly a type of copepod. Considering you've had them show up after the Coral RX treatment, it's likely they're opportunistic. You got any wrasse in the tank that could help control the population?
