    I want more fish!!! Which kind?!

    in General Discussion

    Hi Sara,

     

    Jon and I have been working on our stock list for our 350 and agreed that some of the most interesting behavior comes from having bonded pairs of some species. We have several bonded pairs in quarantine right now. I love the bonded neon blue and yellow line goby pairs (the tank is big enough to support both). They scoot together on the surface of the rocks and are quite entertaining. We have bonded orange stripe prawn gobies (unfortunately their paired shrimp perished shortly after arrival) and a pair of yellow watchman gobies.

     

    We also have pairs of fire fish and orchid dottybacks. I love the antics of the tail spot blenny and could watch him for hours.

     

    Our next phase after these are out of quarantine includes anthias and wrasses. The final phase is the more aggressive fish, mostly tangs.

     

    Can't wait to see pictures of your new additions!

    It sounds like you have certainly done your homework and had a great game plan. I’m jealous! I didn’t really have a plan so am just trying to get peaceful and easy fish for now :)

    I would stray away from the xenia.

    I’ve heard others say this too . It’s invasive right? I just find it so mesmerizing. I’ll wait and do more research. Thanks for the tip.

    This is what I ended up buying from LiveAquaria:

     

    3 Blue/Green Reef Chromis

    Sailfin/Algae Blenny

    McCosker's Flasher Wrasse

    Ignitus Anthias

    Royal Gramma Basslet

     

    2 of the chromis were DOA which was sad but the rest are doing good so far. The anthias hasn’t eaten yet and is hanging in the corner but started coming down today. The basslet is mostly hiding. The wrass is really cute. I have a feeling the lawnmower Blenny will become my favorite. 2085dd600bd17f6af9308e020daa5516.jpg

    You guys are freakin awesome!!!!!!!! Thank you for all the great ideas. I have my fish wish list now! :) I'm going to choose the variety of these fish that have the most peaceful temperament and are the easiest to care for:

    -One or two blenny's (their faces look like cartoon characters - I'm going to love these guys!)

    -Anthias (Ignitus seems to be the most peaceful of the anthias)

    -Mccosker Flasher Wrasse 

    Thanks again to all who replied or read ;)

    Hello! My name is Sara (as the user name may suggest ;) and I am a new member of WAMAS that already loves the club! I went to the winter meeting and could not stay long but from what I saw I loved the environment and came home with several new frags.

     

    I’m looking for some advice about fish. I want more fish! Colorful, cute, full of personality, etc, etc. But I also want to keep my tiny bits of coral in-tact. Perhaps someone can offer advice on a few fish that would work with my current set-up?
