Who Gives A Fish Forums

Having witnessed the chaos that can erupt when Triggerfish and Lionfish cohabitate, I must stress that combining these two species is ill-advised.

As others have mentioned, the number of fish your tank can support largely depends on the specific species you're considering.

No, they were definitely different colors from the start. I've seen a lot of variation in candy cane corals, so it's hard to say if the color had anything to do with the growth rate. Maybe it was just a coincidence, or maybe the lighter-colored ones happened to be in a slightly better spot in the ...

I think we're overlooking a key factor here - the color of our corals. I've got another colony that hasn't split nearly as fast as the ones that exploded to over 100 heads in 18 months. The super-successful ones are this whitish-green color, whereas I've also got a brownish-red with green centers ...

I keep my water pretty simple - just B-Ionic two part, but at about half the recommended dose. Weekly water changes are 10% and that's about it.

I've had a seven head colony that's exploded into over a hundred heads in about a year and a half. Medium flow, 6x96w CF fixture. Had one massive colony, but it got broken up into five smaller ones during a tank upgrade. Different tanks, different results - can't expect the same outcomes, right?

I'm not really one for ranking, so I'll give you a longer list instead.

I love clownfish - each one has its own unique personality that you can easily get attached to.
Manderin Dragonettes are stunning, with their beautiful colours.
The Royal Gramma is another favourite of mine, with colours ...

Glad someone chimed in route4, my gut was telling me it might not be the best mix, but I wanted a bit more reassurance. Cheers for the info, much appreciated.

Still nobody's got any thoughts on mixing the Bicolour Blenny with a Royal Gramma then?

Yer, 5" does seem a mite large for my tank, lovely looking fish though, thanks for the info brixo.

Anyone got any thoughts on a Bicolour Blenny mixing with a Royal Gramma, had a few concerns about the Gramma getting a bit testy?

Would a Bicolour or Red Spot Flymo Blenny work in my 70l tank with a Royal Gramma and a pair of Tangerine Clownfish? The Bicolour blenny seems small enough, but I'm worried the Gramma might see it as a rival due to their similar appearance. Not too familiar with the Red Spot Flymo's - they look ...
