Re: setting up my 3-foot marine tank

Only a newbie myself, but from my limited experience, you've probably added too many fish at once - I'm sure someone else will clarify this for you.

I do love the idea of the hawkfish, they're lovely and active, but the mandarin goby is a tricky one to feed, and to be honest, it's a fish that's ...

Re: My 94 litre river reef setup

Cheers nixora, thanks for the advice. I've actually ordered a book on saltwater fish, still waiting for it to arrive, but been doing some research online in the meantime. Found it tough to find decent info on tank size requirements and such, though. I'm with you, bigger tank is the way forward ...

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: stocking a 30 gallon aquarium

That's a shame about the hawkfish, my mate's got one and it's a real showstopper, loads of character, my favourite fish in his tank by a mile.

Re: keeping coral beauty fish: experiences and advice

cheers rileyon, mine's not too keen on the flake food and wasn't overly fussed about the mysis either but last night's brine shrimp with garlic was a different story, he wolfed it down, I reckon as he gets more settled he'll be more open to different foods

Fingers crossed, it's taken to the mysis no problem last night, all good so far.

Re: keeping coral beauty fish: experiences and advice

Looks like this dwarf angel has won over a lot of hearts here, I was actually planning on getting a royal gramma but the looks of this one completely changed my mind

Re: keeping coral beauty fish: experiences and advice

He's absolutely stunning and to be honest looking at him now I'm glad he's a bit of a rock dweller, it adds to the mystique of the whole setup.

Cheers Ben

He doesn't spend that much time out in the open yet, still getting used to his new surroundings I suppose. Looks lovely though when he does venture out.

keeping coral beauty fish: experiences and advice

I picked one up yesterday and it's really grown on me already. The way it emerges is quite impressive, and when it's patrolling the front of the tank, it's a sight to behold. Still a bit skittish, but that's to be expected.

I did do some reading on the potential for it to eat corals, so if that ...
