Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'm really intrigued by Brotulas now - can anyone tell me more about breeding them? What's their diet like and what kind of care do they need? I'm seriously hooked on them now, I think I've fallen in love with these little guys.

I'm no expert but I've kept a few species of small livebearers in saltwater.
Some of them do quite well, like the ones zenoxa mentioned, mollies.
I've also had some success with a species of guppies that were acclimated to saltwater, but I'm not sure how well they'd do in a 55gal.


I'm not ...

Looking for smaller saltwater livebearers that can thrive in a 55gal tank, excluding the bigger fish like sharks and rays. I'm aware of seahorses, but what else is out there? I know neptunes and mollies can tolerate saltwater, but I'm curious about other smaller livebearer options.

I don't think the Favia's sweepers are the issue. I'm planning to relocate the acan to a spot that receives less light, and also moving it further away just in case.

I've got a favia and an SPS coral thriving right next to it, but for some reason, this acan is bleaching out.

Water params are: 1.026, Alk 9.3, cal 460, ph 7.8, and 81 degrees.

I'm wondering, could excessive flow be the culprit here?
